How Manchester United beat Arsenal 2-0 in U.S. pre-season friendly

Arsenal travel to Los Angeles to take on Barcelona at SoFi Stadium Wednesday night, before returning across the Atlantic to face Monaco in the Emirates Cup on August 2.

Manchester United have three games left in their U.S. pre-season tour. They face Wrexham in San Diego on Tuesday, Real Madrid in Houston on Wednesday, and Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas on July 30.

Both of Manchester United's goal in this match were aided by mistakes by Arsenal players.

Aaron Ramsdale should have done better to save Bruno Fernandes' opener, while a terrible missed clearance by Gabriel allowed Sancho to break free for the second.

Even the penalty shootout was decided by an Arsenal error, as Fabio Vieira missed the target completely with his kick.
