July 22, (THEWILL) – Arsenal and Manchester United are preparing for an exciting pre-season friendly, as they take their talents across the Atlantic to face off at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, renowned as the home ground for NFL teams, New York Jets and New York Giants.
As part of their summer preparation, both clubs have already engaged in competitive matches. The Red Devils, led by manager Eric Ten Hag, strategically combined first-team players and promising talents, resulting in impressive victories against Leeds United and Lyon in recent fixtures.
Meanwhile, the red team from north London began their summer campaign with a competitive draw against German outfit, FC Nürnburg, before embarking on their US tour. They demonstrated their strength in a convincing 5-0 exhibition match victory against the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge team, which was managed by DC United manager, Wayne Rooney. Arsenal won with goals from Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard, Jorginho, Gabriel Martinelli, and a remarkable debut goal from new signing, Kai Havertz.
Cameroonian goalkeeper, André Onana, is poised to make a memorable debut for United in the upcoming match, even though he joined the team just a day before. It is an indication of the club’s eagerness to integrate his talent and incorporate him into their lineup as quickly as possible.
