The lack of quality in this match shows just how far behind the top two, these sides are. The referee also lacking consistency . On this evidence, lots of money has been spent on players who simply are not good enough.
United score an odd goal. An attack had fizzled out, but from the clearance McTominay volleyed from outside the box, Xhaka weirdly ducked under the shot & the ball hit the back of the net with the keeper rooted to the spot.
An exciting & action packed first half, both sets of players very feisty, but a complete lack of quality from both sides, with the exception of Pogba (Man U) & the exciting young Saka (Arsenal).

A moment of sublime skill by Aubameyang & the ball is in the back of the net.The ref rules it offside - wrongly - but VAR get it right & the goal stands.
Game on.
Man U 1 Arsenal 1
RESULT; Man United 1 Arsenal 1
Not much quality on offer, but a fun game to watch all the same.
What a prospect young Saka is. Just 18, but a great maturity about him.
A whole bunch of entries correctly predicted the Draw @ 5/2, easily the most popular selection, which gets their week off to a flying start;
