Arsenal  2: 1 Manchester United 3—4 on penalty highlights: Martinelli scores winner as Nwaneri shines again

Live and extensive coverage from Arsenal vs Manchester United at the SoFi Stadium as the Gunners continue their pre-season tour of the United States

Arsenal continue their summer preparations for the new season with a clash against a far stronger opponent than in their previous game. Bournemouth held the Gunners to a 1-1 draw just a few days ago and Mikel Arteta will want to secure a win over Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag infamously went with the tagline of Manchester United “don’t play friendlies” when the teams met last year, which saw the Red Devils secure victory. It created an edge to the game and tensions were higher than usual for an exhibition match.

Arsenal’s rivalry with the Dutch coach saw revenge in the form of back-to-back league wins over United in the league and while the Gunners finished with their best league total since 2004, Ten Hag oversaw the worst Premier League finish ever. Arteta has seen Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli return to the group with expected soon-to-be new signing Riccardo Calafiori due to fly in soon.
