SAM CARNEY

Line-up: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Dalot, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko.

Score: United 1 Arsenal 0

First scorer: Benjamin Sesko

MOTM: Sesko

Ever since the fixtures were released in mid-June, I’ve had a sneaky feeling United might start with a big statement victory in M16. With Benjamin Sesko joining Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha in a new-look attack, there’s a great deal of excitement about the Reds’ attack but I think it will be a tight encounter – unsurprisingly so, given the visitors’ strong defensive record in recent seasons. Hopefully Sesko will settle it!

MATTHEW HOLT

Line-up: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Heaven; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko.

Score: United 2 Arsenal 2

First scorer: Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu

MOTM: Bruno Fernandes

It's worth remembering how much of a threat Arsenal posed last season, but United's summer business does impress me, and I predict an entertaining draw to begin the new Premier League campaign.

ADAM MARSHALL

Line-up: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Shaw; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes (c), Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko.

Score: 1-1

First scorer: Bryan Mbeumo

MOTM: Bruno Fernandes

There are some extremely tough calls to make for the boss, in each aspect of his side. I think Andre Onana will play, if he proves his fitness in time, while it feels harsh to leave the likes of Matthijs de Ligt, Amad and Mason Mount out.

However, I suspect there must be a temptation to start with new signing Benjamin Sesko up top, even though he is still settling in, and Diogo Dalot is obviously more of a natural defender than Amad on that right-hand side.

The engine room is another position up for debate. I wonder if Manuel Ugarte will get the nod to provide extra energy in a bid to stop the Gunners getting on top in midfield.
