However, he had a debut to forget as the Red Devils were demolished 3-1 by Mikel Arteta's charges.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for United at the Emirates before Martin Odegaard equalised for the hosts.

Sportbible reports that two late goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus condemned the Manchester club to a comprehensive defeat, in a match that was riddled with refereeing controversies.

Hojlund reveals what Casemiro told him

The Sunday cracker was marked with a dramatic incident pitting Casemiro and Hojlund, with the duo spotted having an exchange.

Casemiro was seen grabbing the Danish forward by the shirt shortly after he was subbed on.

The incident sparked reactions from fans, with Hojlund disclosing the Brazilian midfielder liked what he saw from him against the Gunners.

"He just said something in Spanish, 'vamos' or something like that," he said as quoted by @UtdPlug.
"He was happy that I gave the team perhaps a slightly different dynamic than what you get from Martial. After all, he hasn’t seen me play before. So he told me he was pleasantly surprised to see me play," he added.

Most expensive EPL transfers this summer

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that the summer transfer window saw all the 20 Premier League teams seal some decent transfers in a bid to strengthen their squads in preparation for the new season.

Rice's £105m sensational move to the Emirates Stadium from West Ham United had initially seen him hold the record before Caicedo shattered it.
