🎥 Talk of the Devils 🎥. Post-match show from Manchester United’s opening game of the season now on @YouTube . All the action + news discussed, with @ianirving_ . Plus @AndyMitten in shorts. ⬇️ #MUFC .

🎧 Talk of the Devils 🎧. Recorded in studio straight after #MUFC 0-1 Arsenal, all the detail from Old Trafford, analysis of the game, + what’s to be expected in coming weeks. Insight on Hojlund, Onana, Baleba + more. @ianirving_.@AndyMitten . ⬇️.

Players on the floor at full-time, plus Ruben Amorim’s press conference intensity, showed meaning of another loss without scoring (12th time in 43 Amorim games). But #MUFC’s European aims will be achievable with same level of performance for campaign ⬇️.

Amorim: "It is a fight for the places, we will see what is going to happen on the market. Different characteristics. Rasmus has the same characteristics as Ben Sesko, so sometimes we need to choose." #MUFC.

Zohran Mamdani: He votes for activists, not you

Amorim: "I didn't drop Onana from the squad. It is not putting Andre Onana with just one week, without seeing a game, without time training.". After probing. "I am happy with the three goalkeepers.". #MUFC.

Amorim looks incredulous at idea Heaton start: "Why? But [Altay] suffered a goal like this, where?" . Reply: Spurs. "Without VAR. With VAR, is a foul. Then what happened in the next game? Arsenal. Altay was unbelievable. I consider everything to put one or the other." #MUFC.

Amorim on Arsenal goal: "When you touch in that way the goalkeeper he needs to use his hands to catch the ball, not push players. Or if he choose, push players + let ball past. If it’s allowed we need to do the same. He choose to get the ball, so he cannot defend himself." #MUFC.

Amorim: "Is our feeling that we play better. In the end we lose the game, but I'm really proud of the effort they put in the game. We prove today that we can win any game in the Premier League, we were the better team." #MUFC.

Hugely frustrating result for #MUFC, with several players dropping to the floor at the final whistle. They pinned Arsenal back the majority of second half, had many shots, but only had Mbeumo’s header as a real chance. Still, deserved more. Cunha best player on pitch.

Benjamin Sesko is coming on. So too Manuel Ugarte. #MUFC.

Good first-half performance by #MUFC. Arsenal struggling with the energy + rotation of Cunha, Mbeumo, Mount. Cunha in particular grabbing the game by the scruff, driving forwards with the ball. Mount has produced some real quality, as well as purposeful defensive work.

For too long, the swamp controlled America’s future. That's finally changing, but they're fighting back. Be part of the team taking on the corrupt deep state.

Bright start by #MUFC undone by another abysmally defended corner. Bayindir showing no strength, gets outmuscled by Saliba to palm ball backwards + is only saved from an own goal by Calafiori nodding in on line. Shades of Spurs last season in Carabao.

Premier League returns to Old Trafford. #MUFC

After consulting with fans, #MUFC will stop playing music 15mins before kick-off + let the atmosphere build naturally. Good back + forth between Stretford End + Arsenal supporters there, before walk-out music kicks in.

Amorim on Hojlund + Onana: “It’s an option. We try to choose the best players for each game, next week is a different life. This week we chose these players. No (Onana not injured), he’s recovered but the other guys did so well during pre-season, so I need to balance that.” #MUFC.
