Manchester United have endured a horror-show opening against Arsenal

Alexis Sanchez has scored twice and Mesut Ozil grabbed another as the Gunners have run riot.

IF ARSENE WENGER wanted a response from his Arsenal side after a really difficult week, he’s definitely got it at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon.

Arsenal were 2-0 up inside the first six and a half minutes after goals from Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.

And on 20 minutes, the Chilean stepped inside Matteo Darmian and rifled a magnificent strike to the top corner.

Will this be revenge for that infamous 8-2 result at Old Trafford?

    Man u defence sleeping much like arsenals during the week.Worst is they have f. all options on the bench to turn this around. Can see arsenal getting another1 or 2 on the break in 2nd half. Bad day at the office for lvg. Should be more experienced than talking about a title challenge in october.He should keeping his mouth shut and concentrate on getting the team to do the talking on the pitch

    even a stopped clock is right twice a day. keep saying that a d eventually you are going to be right. United will be fine you shouldn’t worry or spend so much time on another club. Enjoy your own clubs.

    Last week United were one of the favourites to win the league, this week they will be slated for their defensive frailties and lack of progress after spending so much. Perhaps the true picture is somewhere in the middle.

    Arsenal have been exceptional, the pace they have going forward and the aggression and effort to get back when united do get a foot on the ball is unreal. United on the other hand, rooney isn’t even trying and carrick is nowhere meaning schwienstiegger is doing all the running and leaving holes. Neville gives out then about schwienstiegger coz he won’t say rooney and carrick are muck. Depay is terrible and hasn’t done it in the league yet, darmian, though he’s been very good this year is having a mare. It is only october though.

    Wenger got his tactics right from the get go. Lvg got his wrong all the way to the subs bench. He has no game changers in reserve for a game like this, when he needs goals their is no creative spark on the bench. Least he shudda had parreira, his performances so far warrants a squad position at least if not replacing depay in the starting line up. Arsenal at least showing they have what it takes to challenge city for the title if they cud just do it every week. Utd showing they are way too small a squad to challenge this season.

    while I agree with what you said I don’t think there is any reason for drastic changes. looked comfortable against the likes of Liverpool, Southampton and Wolfsburg who are decent teams. Arsenal played the best game iv seen them play in years. what United need to do is forget about it and move on. Rooney needs to be dropped for a few weeks and Mata playing in the center, I would drop Memphis and play young instead. move Blind out to LB and play Jones with Smalling at CB.
