Arsenal capitalise on Bayindir error to beat Man Utd
- Manchester United were narrowly defeated by Arsenal, who secured a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford in the opening match of the Premier League 2025-26 season on Sunday, August 18.
- The result followed Manchester United's poor 15th-place finish last season, their worst since the Premier League began in 1992.
- Riccardo Calafiori scored the only goal in the 13th minute from a corner, while United controlled possession but lacked finishing sharpness.
- It was the eighth time since last season that Manchester United lost at home without scoring, and Altay Bayindir's error led to Calafiori's goal.
- Arsenal defended their slender lead with discipline to secure three points, leaving Manchester United under pressure to improve under coach Ruben Amorim.
