Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the opening weekend of the Premier League season. The only goal came from Riccardo Calafiori, who headed in following a mistake by Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir during a corner kick. Despite Manchester United creating chances through players like Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Sesko, they failed to score. The match was characterized as a nervy affair, with Arsenal managing to hold on to the lead despite being off the pace. The result marked a positive start for Mikel Arteta's side, while raising questions about Manchester United's goalkeeping standards. The new Puma ball introduced this season has been criticized by Premier League players for causing difficulties, potentially contributing to errors such as Bayindir's. Ruben Amorim, Manchester United's manager, faces decisions regarding his goalkeeper position following the blunder.
