Six players debuted for their new clubs when Arsenal defeated Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday, here's how they all performed

Arsenal snuck a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United to make the perfect start to their Premier League campaign at Old Trafford.

Arsenal began their Premier League 2025/26 campaign on a high, defeating Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford in a tightly contested season opener. The match was decided by a single goal from Riccardo Calafiori, who scored with a powerful header to hand the Gunners a crucial away win.

He also registered five clearances, with only William Saliba managing more amongst Arsenal players, and excelled at steadying the ship when United threatened to rattle their visitors. Arteta has also rallied behind his skipper following the decision to retain Odegaard as captain.

Manchester United vs Arsenal proved an unusually high-tax affair for Week 1 of a Premier League season, and it was ultimately an error that divided the sides at Old Trafford.

The 2.02 meters per second they advanced towards goal is 55% quicker than the average of 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25
