Over 1.5 Goals: 77.50
The odds for over 1.5 goals suggest that there is a strong likelihood of seeing at least two goals in this match. Both Manchester United and Arsenal have attacking talents capable of breaking down defenses, and their recent performances indicate they will be eager to make an impact early in the season. Key players to watch include Manchester United’s dynamic forwards and Arsenal’s creative midfielders, who are expected to drive the attacking play.
Both Teams Not to Score: 62.90
The both teams not to score option reflects the potential for a tightly contested match where defenses could dominate. Both teams have been working on strengthening their defensive setups during the preseason, and with new signings and tactical adjustments, they might prioritize solid defensive displays over risky offensive ventures in this fixture.
Under 2.5 Goals: 65.10
The under 2.5 goals odds indicate that despite the attacking potential of both teams, there is an expectation of limited goal-scoring opportunities being converted into actual goals.

The managers might opt for strategic play that minimizes risks, leading to fewer than three goals being scored in total.
