Man United vs Arsenal live: Gyokeres and Sesko set to make Premier League debuts in opening blockbuster

Manchester United will hope to put past demons behind them and kickstart a new era at Old Trafford as their Premier League season gets underway against title hopefuls Arsenal. Ruben Amorim 's sign crawled to a dismal 15th last season, causing the Portuguese manager to completely revamp his front line in a bid to solve the club's goalscoring woes. Through the door came Premier League-proven Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, with RB Leipzig frontman Benjamin Sesko completing the £194m overhaul. The Slovenian striker is in line to make his top-flight debut this afternoon, as is marquee Arsenal recruit Viktor Gyokeres, who joined from Sporting CP after a protracted saga for £55m. After putting Europe on notice with a staggering goal return in the Portuguese capital, Mikel Arteta will hope the arrival of the Swede can help break Arsenal's second-place curse as the Spaniard seeks to finally bring a league title to the Emirates.

Sunderland sign Paris St Germain defender Nordi Mukiele on four-year deal

Sunderland have announced the signing of Nordi Mukiele on a four-year contract. The 27-year-old defender joins the Black Cats from Paris St Germain – where he won successive Ligue 1 titles in 2023 and 2024 – in a deal which is understood to be worth 11million euros (£9.5m), with 3million euros (£2.59m) in add-ons. Mukiele represented Stade Lavallois, Montpellier and Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig before joining PSG, while spending last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen. He told the club's official website: 'It's a new challenge and I'm happy to be here. I saw the atmosphere of the stadium, and this is something I really like. 'The fans are very important in football, and especially in Sunderland. I came here to fight for them. I see some good players and see their quality, so I believe that we can do something good together – and when I say together, I mean the players, the fans and the city. We will need everyone this season.'
