STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Sun: Man Utd v Arsenal

Manchester United and Arsenal go head-to-head in a tasty opener to their Premier League campaigns at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, writes JOE CITRONE.

Manchester United, off the back of a disastrous 2024/25 season, will be eager to kick their new season off with a victory after a busy summer of transfer activity.

Although they have been knocked back this week in their pursuit of Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, the Red Devils have managed to add Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbuemo and Benjamin Sesko to their squad this summer to completely transform their attack.

Arsenal have also made attacking reinforcements, with Viktor Gyokeres – who was one of Europe’s most deadly strikers last season – joining the club from Sporting Lisbon.

With Mikel Merino being forced to lead the line at times last season for the Gunners, the introduction of Gyokeres should make a huge difference. Arsenal will be hoping it can take them closer to the title they have been craving.

In terms of bets for this game, both teams to score also looks to be a sensible play here with that bet landing frequently for Arsenal last season, and United surely set to be a total different attacking prospect.
