ARSENAL PLAYER RATINGS: Aaron Ramsdale should have saved Bruno Fernandes' opener, as Gabriel suffers confidence blow after his mistake allowed Jadon Sancho to double the lead

Arsenal succumbed to a 2-0 defeat by Manchester United during Saturday evening's fiery pre-season friendly against Manchester United.

It was a physical encounter, typical of the fierce rivalry that has existed between these sides, but it was Erik ten Hag's side who would take the spoils from the warm-up match, with new captain Bruno Fernandes inspiring his side to get the win.

The Portuguese midfielder would open the scoring driving a low shot from around 20-yards out at Aaron Ramsdale, but the ball seemed to catch a bobble right before the shot-stopper, who couldn't quite keep out the shot.
