Meanwhile, Ronaldo was not included in the starting lineup that faced the Gunners during the fixture, with the United icon forced to start from the bench.

Erik ten Hag also made a bold move by naming summer arrival Casemiro to the substitutes bench, with Scott McTominay starting in the middle of the part at the expense of the multiple Champions League winner.

Ten Hag's brave calls paid off as United handed Arsenal their first defeat of the season with a 3-1 thumping.

Antony used the opportunity to announce his arrival by scoring on his debut for the Red Devils, with Rashford bagging a brace to inspire the hosts to victory.

Meanwhile, birthday boy Bukayo Saka also found the back of the net, with his goal ending up a mere consolation for the Gunners.
