With the ongoing rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal, this match showcased a number of debutants on both sides, including Arsenal’s Victor Gyokeres and Manchester United’s Bryan Mbeumo.

In a game that ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for Arsenal, established players often overshadowed the newcomers, with Mbeumo standing out notably. His integration into United’s system appears smooth, proving effective in attack and generating opportunities from the right flank. Conversely, Gyokeres struggled to leave a mark, encountering difficulties that saw him limited in scoring chances.

Bryan Mbeumo

Mbeumo made an immediate impact with attempts on goal that kept United’s defense on their toes. His existing familiarity with a wingback’s role allowed him to maintain a threat on the right side.

Matheus Cunha

Cunha demonstrated high work rate, becoming the fan favorite for his relentless pursuit, though his decision-making under pressure remains a potential concern.

Benjamin Sesko

The new addition interacted well with his teammates during his brief appearance and might become a pivotal presence moving forward.

Viktor Gyokeres

Despite having high expectations, Gyokeres’ debut raised questions regarding his suitability for Arsenal’s playing style, as he struggled to establish himself in the attack.

Martin Zubimendi

Showing adaptability, Zubimendi contributed solidly in midfield but hadn’t made a significant impact in front of goal.

Noni Madueke

Madueke optimized his limited time with some defensive contributions and looked set for a starting role as the season progresses.

Such performances set the stage for what could be a transformative season for Arsenal and their exciting fresh talents.
