Arsenal scored in each of their last 11 Premier League games outside against Manchester United (14 goals), having managed to score only in 10 of their first 22 visits to Old Trafford in competition (11 goals).
Manchester United won 99 of its 243 meetings with Arsenal in all competitions (D55 L89). They only defeated Aston Villa (107) more often, when they would be the first team to beat the Gunners 100 times.
This is only the second time in the history of the English League, Manchester United, organizes Arsenal in his first game of the season, defeating the Gunners 4-1 in 1989-90.
Manchester United is starting a Premier League campaign with a home match for the ninth successive season, the longest series of all teams in high -level English history.

Arsenal is undefeated in its last 14 Premier League games outside (W7 D7) since a 1-0 defeat in Newcastle last November. It is their longest race without defeat on the road since their own first league record of 27 between April 2003 and September 2004 (a race ended by Manchester United).

A goal in this match would only see him the third player to score against Manchester United in Old Trafford in his early beginnings, after Mo Johnston for Everton in August 1992, and Paulo Wanchope for Derby County in April 1997.
