Manchester United secured a 1-1 draw against Arsenal in a tense Premier League clash at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim’s side put in a resilient display, allowing Arsenal to dominate possession but striking first through Bruno Fernandes’ superb free-kick just before halftime.
United had chances to extend their lead, with Noussair Mazraoui and Joshua Zirkzee both testing Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. However, the Gunners eventually broke through when Declan Rice capitalized on a defensive lapse to fire home the equalizer.
Despite Arsenal’s late push for a winner, United nearly snatched victory at the death, with Fernandes once again forcing a crucial save from Raya. The result highlighted United’s fighting spirit under Amorim, who set up his side defensively but effectively.
Alejandro Garnacho was a standout performer, causing trouble for Arsenal’s defense with his aggressive runs. Meanwhile, United’s backline held firm despite Victor Lindelof’s struggles in possession and Leny Yoro’s early exit due to injury.
Andre Onana put in another solid performance between the posts, making crucial saves to deny Martin Odegaard. Casemiro was steady in midfield but allowed Rice too much space for Arsenal’s goal.
Amorim will take positives from his team’s battling display as United now turn their attention to the Europa League clash against Real Sociedad. The draw keeps their top-four hopes alive, but improvement is needed if they want to challenge at the highest level.
