Manchester United vs Arsenal LIVE UPDATE (@ Old Trafford)

 

LET’S GO

Full-time: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal

With rain and thunder lashing Old Trafford, Arsenal just barely survive to secure three precious points with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United.

It wasn’t the most convincing of displays, but three points are three points as far as Arteta and his men are concerned.

United failed to test Arsenal to any degree, and will be pleased the scoreline wasn’t greater.

It is now on City to do the deed against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday to see if this title race will go right down to the wire.

Full-time: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal

Arsenal make double substitution

Jakub Kwivior and Jorginho rush on in favour of Partey and Odegaard.

It will be all defence now for the title challengers.

    Arsenal holding on

    With every minute passed, Arsenal fans will breathe a further sigh of relief.

    We are into the business end now as regulation time nears.

    To add some more dramatic flair, the bright blue skies of earlier have been replaced by ominous clouds, rain and thunder.

    Perhaps this is some foreshadowing of things to come?

    85 mins: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal

Onana to the rescue

Odegaard provides the service from the right side in Saka’s absence.

Wan-Bissanka appears to flick the ball to his own net, but Onana is able to stop it from going past the line.

Rice picks up the ball outside the box and releases a missile that Onana blocks again with a dive to his left.

  • Martinelli denied

    The Brazilian international weaves in from the left flank and into the box.

    After finding some space, he fires at goal from just outside the area, but Onana is able to  make a top save to prevent a second Arsenal goal.

    Best chance of the half so far for either side.

    After Saka gives away the ball in the United end, McTominay rampages towards the other side.

    He spots Garnacho on his left, who then snakes in towards the far post before letting it fire.

    The ball ends up crashing into the side netting though.

    Casemiro lets it fly

    From way outside the box on the right side, the Brazilian international decides to have a go.

    The ball sails unencumbered to Raya, who takes it with ease.

    69 mins: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal

Odegaard denied

The first real shot at net this half goes to Arsenal’s Odegaard.

After wrong-footing Amrabat and sending him tumbling, he moves to his left and whips a shot at goal from outside the box on the right side.

  • Onana is equal to the task though.

    Scary hours for Arsenal

    As we enter the final half hour of regulation time, The Gunners will be keen to add some insurance to the present scoreline.

    United have had a few penetrating runs, but little to show for it in the final third.

United pursue tying goal

They are pushing upwards into the Arsenal end and trying to create some magic to restore the scoreline.

Arsenal have been solid defensively though.

Second half under way

We are back at Old Trafford for the second act.

Arsenal may have the lead, but a 1-0 advantage is always fraught with danger.

Half-time: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal

It hasn’t been the most fluid of attacking football from the away side, but Arsenal will be more than pleased to carry a slender lead into the break.

United have simply not come to the party so far, and that includes a key defensive lapse which led to the Trossard goal.

Ten Hag will have some strong words for his side as they head into the interval.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will want to add some insurance to the scoreline if they are to keep their title hopes alive in the face of a menacing Manchester City side.

  • Three minutes added

    With not too many incidents of note, the fourth official signals three additional minutes of stoppage time.

    45+1 mins: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal

  • Raya stops Garnacho cross

    The Argentinian international weaves in from the left side towards the near post.

    He tries to send in a cross, but Raya is able to block the attempt before it creates any further danger.

    43 mins: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal

  • Arsenal hold firm

    Despite some surging runs from United, the Arsenal back four have been immaculate.

    Raya has yet to be tested by the home side, and that will surely be a talking point, among others, when ten Hag conducts his half-time talk.

    Due to the Partey incident, Diallo looks to be in a spot of bother.

    Diallo goes down

    After weaving in from the right side and towards the center, Diallo ends up catching Partey’s outstretched foot and goes down right at the edge of the box.

    There are calls for a penalty, but because Diallo caught Partey, it is deemed not an offense.

    ‘We have to earn the right to go to the last day’

    Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking with Sky Sports, provided his views on today’s matchup: “[Playing Manchester United] is always a big challenge. It’s a great place to come and play football of this stature.

    “We are playing for something massive and we need to prove that. We need to come here and deliver.

    “It’s always difficult [playing United]. They do a lot of things and it’s hard to predict [their tactics].

    “They can change momentum in any direction and that is a big quality to have.

    “We have to earn the right to go to the last day [of the season and win the title].“

  • Liverpool are up next on Al Jazeera

    With Manchester City’s win at Fulham, Liverpool are officially out of the title race.

    Jurgen Klopp’s side have 78 points with two games remaining. They cannot match City’s current tally of 85 even if they win both those games.

    The Reds’s trip to fourth-placed Aston Villa is our featured game on Monday.

     

  • ‘They were far below the standard of United’

    United manager Erik ten Hag, speaking with Sky Sports, has shared his thoughts before the match: “They were far below the standard of United I expect from this team [in relation to the 4-0 Crystal Palace loss earlier in the week]. We didn’t have the high performance and mentality [required], and that is the least I can expect [from the side].

    “We have to fight and stay behind the team. [On the decision to play Amrabat,] first of all, Arsenal are very strong in possession. We need players who can work the middle and intercept balls.

    “There is a lot of competition in the side. He deserves a chance, and it is a great opportunity for him.

    “The last few days we trained with him [Fernandes], but he didn’t make it yesterday. He trained both days but was not far enough [along] for him to recover from injury.

    “We don’t have options there [in regards to the back four]. You have to protect them. You have to take responsibility.”
