Manchester United gained bragging rights over rivals Arsenal as first-half goals from Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho sealed a 2-0 friendly win at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.<\/p>\n
The match was played in front of a stadium soccer record crowd of 82,262.<\/p>\n
Fernandes celebrated being appointed United\u2019s new captain by beating Aaron Ramsdale from 20 yards, although the Arsenal keeper could have done better.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And Sancho doubled the advantage with a powerful shot into the top corner.<\/p>\n
The winger, playing as a false nine in an outfield line-up manager Erik ten Hag changed completely at half-time, finished after speeding on to a mistake from Gabriel.<\/p>\n
However it was not all good news for United, who lost forward Amad Diallo to injury minutes after his introduction at the interval.<\/p>\n
Arsenal created a number of chances but failed to find the net, including Gabriel\u2019s late header which was deflected wide.<\/p>\n
Asked for the lessons he learned from the match, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said simply: \u201cThat I hate to lose, that we all hate to lose.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t like the feeling I have right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Towards the end of the game some fans started throwing punches at each other in the stand behind the United goal, although the altercation was quickly resolved.<\/p>\n
After the final whistle, the two teams took part in a penalty shootout \u2013 with both managers having decided their players needed to practise in front of a crowd.<\/p>\n
United won that too, 5-3, after Arsenal\u2019s Fabio Vieira skied his effort over the bar.<\/p>\n
