Man Utd secured a 2-0 win over Premier league rivals Arsenal at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey; Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho sealed victory for Erik ten Hag's side; United also secured a penalty shootout victory over the Gunners, Fabio Vieira missing the decisive penalty

Manchester United secured some early bragging rights over Premier League rivals Arsenal as Erik ten Hag's side secured a 2-0 pre-season win over the Gunners in New Jersey.
New Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a long-range effort, which Aaron Ramsdale could have done better with after getting a strong hand to the ball.
United's lead was doubled not long after as Jadon Sancho (37) capitalised on Gabriel Magalhaes' missed clearance before superbly finishing past Ramsdale as Ten Hag's side went on to pick up a third straight pre-season win.
Arsenal's best chance of the second half fell to Kai Havertz, who was picked out by Martin Odegaard's cross, but the former Chelsea forward's header looped over the crossbar as the Gunners - who fielded new signings Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber from the start - failed to make a breakthrough in what was a poor performance at MetLife Stadium.
There was further disappointment for Mikel Arteta's side after the game as they also lost a penalty shootout, with United converting all five of their spot kicks, while Fabio Vieira blazed the ball high over the crossbar to end a difficult night for north London side.
The game burst into life early as Antony's miscued strike drifted wide of the far post before Gabriel Martinelli was twice denied by United goalkeeper Tom Heaton after being picked out by Bukayo Saka's cross at the far post.
