After the international break, Manchester United will face a fierce battle in the Premier League, facing Arsenal at Old Trafford.

This is a focus battle that attracts worldwide attention, not only because the two teams are the most representative teams in the Premier League era, but also because Mourinho and Wenger, the old enemies, face off again.

Before the game started, the two started a war of words through the media.

However, before the game started, Mourinho and Wenger shook hands gracefully on the sidelines and then said goodbye. There was no trace of the atmosphere between the two before the game.

Before the start of this round of games, Arsenal were temporarily ranked fourth in the standings, but their points were 6 points less than Manchester United. If they lose this game again, they will be 9 points behind Manchester United in the standings. This is absolutely unacceptable to Arsenal and Wenger who are aiming to regain the Premier League championship.

Therefore, in today's game, Arsenal will use unremitting attacks to defeat Manchester United on the road.

On Arsenal's side, once the ball is lost, although the players will fight back, it is more of a show-off.

The number of fouls was seven for Manchester United and six for Arsenal. This also shows the intensity of the game.

………………

………………

The offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides is very fast, and the back-and-forth fight is full of sparks. The fans also enjoy watching it.

Wenger's Arsenal has been holding high the offensive flag, and coupled with their current reality, they cannot be conservative.

Yes, Mourinho seized on this point of Monreal's attack.

Before Manchester United completed the substitution, Lingard had been attacking Real on the right. Now Lingard was replaced after his physical energy was almost exhausted, and he was replaced by the stronger Bruno to break this point.

Something is wrong!

Rio Ferdinand laughed and said: "Gary, you may not know that Jose's team always performs well against the professor's team."

Mourinho wants to win and win the championship, and he even hopes that the team can have the last laugh in this uncompromising duel. Manchester United is a new team in the process of rebuilding, and everything about the team is important. Plastic.

Wenger's purpose today is very clear, which is to score goals against Manchester United. As long as Arsenal scores more goals than Manchester United, victory belongs to Arsenal, so Arsenal has no intention of retracting its defense in the second half.

Wenger made exactly the same choice as Mourinho: attack. The Gunners opened fire and attacked Manchester United.

Ramsey, who has good running ability, was obviously confused in his new position. As he kept moving to the middle, Monreal's physical disadvantages in the back were fully exposed when facing Valencia; and Elneny also Due to the opponent's targeted deployment, some rare passing errors occurred. Under Manchester United's high-intensity pressing, after the exchange of offense and defense in the first 30 minutes, Manchester United began to launch waves of attacks. Thanks to Cech's high pass and low block, and there was a suspected penalty kick, Arsenal escaped.

The 30-year-old Spanish veteran was shocked and embarrassed.

If, after defeating Manchester City and Liverpool head-on, they succeed in defeating Arsenal again, it will be nothing less than a baptism for the spirit and spirit of this rebuilding Manchester United.

………………

Manchester United drove the game at a fast pace, made constant mistakes on the field, and fought fiercely.

The competition was very intense. The fans enjoyed watching it very much. Unknowingly, the game had already started for fifteen minutes. The score on the field was still 0:0, but the total number of shots taken by the two teams was 6 times. Arsenal shot 4 times and Manchester United shot 4 times. five times.

Mourinho will appear very passive when facing many opponents, but facing Wenger's team, Magic Bird's team is always full of magic.

Manchester United got a chance to set the ball, and Rooney's free kick went over the crossbar.

For example, if Manchester United makes a mistake, the young players of Manchester United are like calves, howling and fighting back, fighting with the opponent, and delaying Arsenal's counterattack for the first time.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines and stared at the court. He was in high spirits now. This was a serious confrontation with Arsenal. The result of this game will have a big impact on the morale of the Manchester United team in the new season.

While the two commentators were talking about this, the first half of the game was over, and the electronic scoreboard at Old Trafford recorded the score at this time: 0:0!

………………

On Arsenal's side, on the other hand, Wenger seems to have no intention of making personnel adjustments.

Mourinho also gave the team an order to attack and win, so the game was always a fierce confrontation from the first second.

“Well done, playing like that in the second half.”

Wenger frowned. He realized something was wrong. The scene was intense and the transition between offense and defense was fast. However, there were many more mistakes on the field and the technical content dropped.

At the same time, Mourinho is not without tension. With two people replaced, he will not be able to make many adjustments in the next game.

Manchester United is obviously more suitable for this kind of fast-paced game with more mistakes than Arsenal.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United still maintained a strong offensive momentum and fought against Arsenal without any fear.

Manchester United has a 5-point advantage in the Premier League standings. This game could have been played more conservatively and more obscenely. However, Mourinho unexpectedly did not adopt that kind of tactics. He was not conservative at all and put on a peaceful display. Arsenal's tit-for-tat offensive momentum.

During the halftime break, Mourinho praised the performance of the players. Although they failed to score Arsenal's goal in the first half, the momentum shown by the team in the offensive battle with Arsenal made the team proud. He is satisfied.

Although there were no goals in the first half, the intensity of the game in the first half could not be shown by two goals.

Rooney, who came on as a substitute, did not appear in the forward position. The Manchester United captain appeared in the attacking midfielder, but Bruno was pushed to the right wing position, facing off against Arsenal's left back Monreal.

“Oh, God, this is definitely one of the most exciting Premier League games in recent years. Both sides contributed a total of 17 shots in the first half. Although there was no goal, the game was not boring at all, but was very exciting. "

"What surprised me was Manchester United. I always thought that I knew Manchester United very well and knew Coach Mourinho, but until now I still can't believe it..." Gary Lineker showed a surprised expression, "In In the battle with Arsenal, Manchester United was not at a disadvantage at all, they performed very tough!”

Looking back at Manchester United, Herrera's performance in the midfielder position is a highlight. The Spaniard's physical running and fighting made the opposing Arsenal midfielder extremely uncomfortable. He covers a huge area and is the real winner in this game. "B2B midfielder", Carrick, who has outstanding football intelligence but lacks mobility, is responsible for sorting out the midfield. The division of labor between the two seems very clear. However, Bruno seems to be a little outside the system, relying more on his super personal ability to play football. With the stability of the center, Manchester United took advantage of the wings to the extreme in this game. Valencia's crushing of Monreal, Lingard and Rashford's harassment of Jenkinson from time to time, all made Wenger The team has quite a headache.

In fact, when he saw Manchester United fighting Arsenal without fear, Wenger was proud. But now, he found that the results were somewhat different from what he had imagined.

But the current situation is that Arsenal is being led by Manchester United. So many mistakes are the most unfavorable signal.

Once the game started, there was no need for the two sides to test, and they could directly "fight" with real swords and guns. Wenger's playing style of replacing Xhaka with Elneny was conservative, coupled with the two adjustments of putting Ramsey on the left, both of them fell into confusion soon after the opening.

In this game, Mourinho lined up Manchester United's strongest lineup. As for Arsenal, Wenger also fielded the strongest lineup he could field.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Mourinho's excellent record against Wenger's team. In the previous 11 Premier League encounters between the two sides, Mourinho remained unbeaten with 5 wins and 6 draws.

On Arsenal's side, Wenger also has three substitutions, and the room for adjustment is obviously much greater than that of Manchester United.

………………

In the 63rd minute of the game, Mourinho made a substitution. He replaced Lingard, who played very hard on the court today, and replaced him with captain Rooney, and then replaced him with Blind. Damian played as a left back in the game.

According to Wenger's vision, the ideal situation is that Arsenal should have driven the tempo of the game, led Manchester United to a dizzying pace, and finally lost control in the offensive storm of Arsenal's stars.

………………

Arsenal is old wine in a new bottle: the style of play still emphasizes ground passing and control, but Wenger's formation began to be conservative. After the formation was fragmented, he fell into confusion in the second half of the first half and could only move forward many times. And Mourinho does have a lot of experience in splitting Wenger's tactical system. Manchester United can be called new wine in an old bottle. It still seems to be a defensive counterattack, but it has a full sense of oppression.

Bruno first used his speed to directly eat Monreal alive, and the Spaniard was forced to use a pulling foul to stop his opponent.

Wenger arranged a risky lineup with a strong offensive signal. The purpose was to lead Manchester United to attack. Attack is Arsenal's strength. Wenger's goal was achieved.

Then, Rooney dribbled the ball and suddenly pressed forward. He forced a breakthrough from the center. Elneny pulled up to intercept. Modric sent a pass to Bruno.

Bruno dribbled the ball forward. He attracted Coquelin's rush. He suddenly stopped, cut inside, and tried to shoot. Monreal was attracted to intercept, but he suddenly spiked the ball and poked the toe of his left foot. Football from Spain The veteran rolled over, and Bruno twisted his waist and accelerated from the other side.
