Manchester United will host Arsenal in the 2025-26 English Premier League opener at Old Trafford stadium on Sunday, Aug. 17.

The Red Devils are optimistic that their summer signings have addressed the challenges they faced last season, which resulted in a disappointing 15th-place finish in the league – one of the worst in the storied club's history. During the summer transfer window, manager Ruben Amorim brought in several new players to reshape their starting 11, including Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, Matheus Cunha from Wolves, Diego Leon from Cerro Porteño, and Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.

Arsenal once again finished runner-up for a third consecutive season, and fans are excited to see if this will finally be their year. This summer, manager Mikel Arteta has been active in the transfer market, bringing in key players to strengthen the squad, including Swedish standout striker Viktor Gyökeres and former Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi. These signings will help alleviate the impact of injuries sustained last year and refresh the lineup.
