WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Sheringham told <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/teddy-sheringham-makes-brutal-early-35454013" target="_blank">The Mirror:</a> "United are signing players and getting ready for a much different season this year than last year, but they must have those concerns on their mind at the moment. It really is a horrible game for them to start the season. If the result is bad, if the scoreline is bad, things can escalate very quickly over there. If Arsenal go up there and roll United over and if they’re comfortable, get an early goal, a second before half-time, maybe even a third or fourth in the second half? If Arsenal really roll them over, United fans are going to be putting the pressure on Amorim from the get-go."</p>

WHAT SHERINGHAM SAID

THE BIGGER PICTURE
