The highly anticipated Premier League season is set to kick off with a blockbuster clash between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford. All eyes will be on the potential debuts of two major summer signings: Viktor Gyokeres for Arsenal and Benjamin Sesko for Manchester United.

Both clubs have been active in the transfer market, significantly strengthening their squads. Arsenal, after finishing as runners-up last season, have added firepower with Gyokeres and bolstered their midfield with Zuba Mende and Nogard. Manchester United, looking to improve after a disappointing previous season, have brought in Sesko, along with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

The match presents an early opportunity for both Gyokeres and Sesko to showcase their talents and justify their hefty price tags. Both strikers were highly sought after, with Manchester United and Arsenal reportedly battling for their signatures. Gyokeres' impressive form under Ruben Amorim at Sporting CP made him a target for several top clubs, but Arsenal's offer of Champions League football ultimately swayed his decision. Manchester United, after missing out on other targets, turned to Sesko, a player they had been monitoring since he was 16.

Ruben Amorim, the new Manchester United manager, has confirmed that Sesko is ready to play against Arsenal. Despite concerns about his fitness due to limited game time in pre-season, Amorim praised Sesko's physical condition and footballing intelligence. It remains to be seen whether Sesko will start the match or come off the bench, but his debut is highly anticipated.

Arsenal will be favorites in the match. However, Manchester United will be looking to exploit Arsenal's high defensive line and aggressive full-back positioning with counter-attacks. The performance of Manchester United's right-hand side, with potential linkups between Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo, will be crucial.

Manchester United will be without Noussair Mazraoui due to injury, while Lisandro Martinez remains a long-term absentee. Andre Onana and Joshua Zirkzee have returned to full training and are available for selection. Amorim is likely to field a back three of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Harry Maguire. Bruno Fernandes is set to captain Manchester United, but may play in a deeper midfield role due to a lack of other options.

This opening game promises to be a thrilling encounter with potential debuts, tactical battles, and high stakes for both teams.
