Mikel Arteta’s men were undone by two goals on the counter-attack in the second half.

Bukayo Saka canceled out Antony’s debut goal, but the visitors found themselves behind again six minutes later.

Christian Eriksen, who shone in United’s midfield, found space deep in the Arsenal half to feed Bruno Fernandes, who provided the sensational assist for Marcus Rashford’s first goal of the afternoon – doubling his tally nine minutes later.

“He has got to be closer to him. Eriksen saw him out, now he [Odegaard] has got to see Eriksen out.
