Bukayo Saka has delivered his verdict on Arsenal’s defeat to Manchester United.
The Gunners produced a lacklustre display at the MetLife Stadium as Mikel Arteta’s new-look side showed that there is still plenty of room for improvement ahead of the new season. Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho gave Man United the victory over their long-time rivals.
Despite being a pre-season friendly, the game was not without controversy. Supporters of both sides took to debating the severity of respective challenges from Lisandro Martinez and Jurrien Timber, while Man United boss Erik ten Hag attempted to voice his frustrations towards the officials at half-time.
Saka admitted he was disappointed to not produce a better team performance against one of the club’s old foes but is confident that the Gunners will use the setback to fuel the remainder of pre-season. There are three weeks until Arsenal’s Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest and Saka believes the club know what they need to do, physically and mentally, in order to get back up to full speed.
