Prediction
Virtually the length of the Premier League separated these two last season, a far cry from the fiery era of the Ferguson-Wenger rivalry.
These days Arsenal are the dominant force and will be expected to prove that by landing short odds at Old Trafford.
The slight question mark is how Ruben Amorim's new frontline clicks — because if it does, it could transform the club's fortunes overnight.
One man who is sure to be an influential figure in the contest is Bruno Fernandes, still the most creative ace in the Red Devils' ranks.
Fernandes may play a little deeper if Mbeumo, Cunha and Sesko get to operate across the top, but the Portuguese star can still land blows from there.
He averaged 2.7 shots per game for his side last term, more than anyone else, and has found the net three times in pre-season.
Penalties and direct free-kicks are also his in the main so he looks very capable of landing at least one shot on target.
