| | 0 | | Are we are off| | 2 | | Good play and dangerous cross in by Arsenal | | 3 | | It’s all arsenal right now. Most of the play is in our half with a few chances| | 4 | | Good ball from Luke Shaw to Fernandes who crosses it to Antony, who scuffles the shot | | 7 | | Long shot from Martenenlli, not troubling Heston though| | 9 | | Good interplay from United almost leads to a goal but it became too messy| | 10 | | Saka gets free and crosses to martinelli who gets a shot and a rebound. Both saved by Heaton | | 15 | | Great touch from Luke Shaw leads to a corner which doesn’t lead to anything significant | | 27 | |More active than the first few minutes, but nothing too decisive. Arsenal are pressing high and Untied are playing on the counter. Despite Arsenal’s seemingly dominant play, the chances are fairly even. | | 29 | ⚽ | Tom Heaton to Mino to Fernandes to GOALLL!!! Speculative effort By Fernandes and a superb goal | | 37 | ⚽ | Sancho latches on to a mistake by Gabriel and scores an excellent goal!! 2-0 | | 40 | | Arsenal’s momentum is pretty much finished as their press dies down and are on the defense | | 43 |🟨 |A committed and robust challenge from Martinez leads to a yellow card | | 45 | | A close effort from Antony sees the half end | | 46 | | United kick off with the following team:- Heaton, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams, McTominay, Casemiro, Eriksen, Amad, Forson, Rashford|
| 51 | | Arsenal take a free kick quickly to threaten United’s goal,but the effort is wasted by Nketiah |
| 53 | |There is a person yelling “Boo” into the mic. It’s really annoying (MUTV Coverage) |
| 53 | | Amad is down holding his ankle. Receiving on field treatment: EDIT He is walking about |
| 57 | | Arsenal get another corner but are quite wasteful with it. Gabriel Jesus comes on for Martenelli; Timber and Rice are out Partey replaced one off them. Pellistri is in for Amad |
| 62 | | Great United play out from the back under pressure leads to a chance as Dalot crosses a dangerous ball to an offside Rashford who missed the chance, which was a bit awkward to be fair | | 62 | | Good play from Arsenal leads to a chance for Harvetz, who is quite wasteful with the chance | | 86 | | Not a lot happening which is decisive. Pellistri had a good chance similar to Sancho earlier but narrowly missed the target | | 90 | |Handball leads to a wasted chance by Arsenal from a good free kick. 4 minutes of time added | | FT | | United win 2-0!! |

Martinez doesn’t half-arse anything. Everything is 100% with him. It’s great.

SANCHOOOOOOO!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You've got to love Martinez.. The best player out there so far. If he is able to stay fit all season things will be so much easier for us

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Two great finishes, let's keep this up

Really pleased with that performance. Arsenal looked good for the first 10 minutes but we got into the game after that and capitalised on the chances they gave us. AWB was looking quite good getting forward & Mainoo looked superb - hope he can make a case for some first team minutes this season

Alright everyone, this should be a good one;

Lets hear predictions. I am gonna have a punt to say 2-2 Draw.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely goals in this one, gonna say 3-2 United. Watch this be 0-0 now!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I hope not but I doubt we will see both teams at their best.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wtf there's gonna be a penalty shootout after the game regardless of the result?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Go all LVG and put Johnny Evans on first?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I heard commentator say it would be pens if it ended by 0-0 by the end of it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They showed a message on the screens in the stadium saying there will be a shootout regardless of the result. Guess it's good practice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Great double save by Heaton. Probably should be 1-1 by now!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They aren't holding back this first half i see. Good ! Mount showing some good skill out there

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

YEEAH!! Damn Bruno is superb... I have his shirt on ofc. YEAAAaahh

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Leeeets goooo great finish

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ten Hag wants to win preseason friendlies too, love to see it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Loved the last picture of him blasting the 4th official to the point of Bruno drags him away ;D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Get in! Lovely finish by Sancho!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Williams has done well since coming on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Arsenal have been shit. I can’t also decide if their kit looks like a zebra that got pissed on or a swimsuit that sells for a dollar

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

What a hit Bruno!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That pitch looks really bad...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Quite surprised Arsenal haven't been better in the second half. Despite all the changes at the break, we've been quite comfortable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

arteta didn't dare subbing at HT, lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Will have to watch this tomorrow morning but hopefully there'll be a lot of goals and great passages of play in this one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ehh? Didn’t think it was a yellow card. It’s a bit strong for a friendly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone know why it started 8 minutes past?
