Premier League heavyweights will provide joy for numerous North American fans on Saturday evening when they take on each other in a friendly at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Arsenal commenced their transatlantic journey in an extraordinary fashion, putting five unanswered goals past the MLS All Star team on Wednesday evening.
Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring with a marvelous chip, while the likes of Leandro Trossard, Jorginho, Gabriel Martinelli, and newcomer Kai Havertz were also all on target for Mikel Arteta’s troops three days ago.
The Gunners have thus boosted the spirits after back-to-back unexpected low-profile draws to Watford and Nurnberg.
They have arrived to the United States earlier than Manchester United which is why we see them in a much better position to get another positive result this weekend.
As for the Red Devils, they have picked up wins over Leeds United and Lyon without conceding a single goal so far this summer.
Nevertheless, this is their maiden game in North America and the main stars such as Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, and Christian Eriksen have only joined the team ahead of this trip.
Arsenal look to be in a better shape at the moment, especially after the win over the MLS All Star team on Wednesday. We will back them to dispatch Manchester United at the 2.40 odds as the main pick.
The bet you hardly make a mistake with is Over 2.5 goals FT at the 1.70 odds considering recent H2H history between these sides.
