The Gunners took the lead on 29 minutes through a Lisandro Martinez own-goal but Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a loose pass from Martin Zubimendi to equalise before half-time. A stunning strike from Patrick Dorgu put Man Utd ahead shortly after the break, before a Mikel Merino equaliser had seemed to give Arsenal a share of the spoils. However, just three minutes later, Man Utd summer signing Matheus Cunha struck a wonderful curling effort from outside…
So after all that, it turns out that managing Manchester United is actually a piece of piss. Okay, that may be a conclusion too flippant to make the 16 in the wake of the Red Devils’ impressive win at Arsenal on Sunday.

Citroën could channel the spirit of the old Picasso, because it believes an MPV revival is on the cards. The brand showed the radical ELO concept late last year as a vision of what a supermini-sized six-seater could look like.
