Manchester United fell to a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates, marking Ruben Amorim’s first loss since taking charge. Jurrien Timber and William Saliba scored from second-half corners to secure the victory for the North London side.

United struggled to create meaningful chances, registering only two shots on target from five attempts, while Arsenal tested Andre Onana 14 times, with six shots requiring saves. The Red Devils had 49% possession, completing 473 passes with an 86% accuracy, but failed to earn a single corner. Arsenal, in contrast, managed 13 corners and achieved a pass accuracy of 87%.

Despite the defeat, Harry Maguire’s return to the starting XI was a bright spot. Playing his first match under Amorim after recovering from injury, the 31-year-old defender impressed during his 60-minute stint. Maguire recorded:

2 clearances, 2 tackles, and 1 interception.

3/3 ground duels won.

96% pass accuracy (44/46 passes).

4/5 long balls completed.

Maguire’s assured performance demonstrated his potential value in Amorim’s system, hinting at more opportunities ahead.
