The Gunners have been the league runners-up three seasons in a row, so the expert believes they will be extra hungry to get off to a good start. Meanwhile, United added star power in Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha during the offseason, but may need some time to find their footing with a retooled roster. "This United squad needs a good month of play to gel these massive players together," Eimer said. "We might not see them click yet, especially against the best defense in the Premier League."
