Red Devils opened the scoringGunners hit straight backEntertaining tie in north LondonWHAT HAPPENED?
The Reds Devils opened the scoring after making a nervy start to proceedings in north London, with England ace Rashford delivering a clinical finish to a flowing counter-attack. The Gunners were not prepared to lie down, though, and hit straight back through club captain Odegaard.

Rashford made the breakthrough in the 27th minute, with United finally springing into life. They had offered little to the contest by that point, but last season’s 30-goal top scorer produced a moment of inspiration after being sent sprinting into space down the left. Arsenal carved United open with ease a matter of seconds later, though, as Odegaard found room on the edge of the box and stroked the ball into the bottom corner.
GettyDID YOU KNOW?
Only five players have scored more non-penalty goals than Odegaard in the Premier League since the start of last season – with the Norwegian midfielder up to 16. Rashford is the second Manchester United player to score in three consecutive Premier League appearances against Arsenal, after Robin van Persie.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Both Arsenal and United finished in the top three last season, allowing them to qualify for the Champions League, and harbour ambitions of piecing together title challenges in 2023-24 after spending big again in the summer transfer window.
