"Arsenal and Manchester United have had some spicy encounters over the years but the Premier League leaders have reportedly agreed a functional friendly fixture with the Red Devils. Man United and Arsenal are due to face off in a behind-closed-doors game at Arsenal's Sobha Realty Training Centre on Thursday, according to Arsenal Fixture News. It'll be the first meeting between the two old rivals since the opening day of the Premier League season, when a typical Arsenal set piece goal earned all three points at Old Trafford."
"Neither club has yet commented on the fixture publicly. Both have been involved in Premier League matches in the last couple of days but their fortunes couldn't have been much more different. Man United suffered the ignominy of losing at home against 10 men on Monday. Everton's Idrissa Gana Gueye was sent off barely 10 minutes into the match at Old Trafford for slapping his own teammate. Man United soon conceded a goal and went on to lose, somehow emerging as the punchline."
Arsenal and Manchester United are scheduled to play a behind-closed-doors friendly at Arsenal's Sobha Realty Training Centre on Thursday, 27 November. Kick-off time remains unknown. The match is intended to help injured players regain full fitness. The fixture will be the first meeting between the clubs since the Premier League opening day, when Arsenal won at Old Trafford with a set-piece goal. Neither club has publicly commented on the arrangement. Manchester United recently lost at home after conceding to ten-men opposition following Idrissa Gana Gueye's early red card. Arsenal beat Tottenham 4-1, featuring a hat-trick from Eberechi Eze.
