Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-2 while barely touching the ball in central zones — and that was the entire plan. Michael Carrick baited Arteta’s high press with a compact two-line block, then shredded them on the counter with vertical passing and ruthless transitions. Everyone’s talking about Matheus Cunha’s goal, but the real story is how United’s narrow wingers completely nullified Arsenal’s creative engine and turned possession into a trap.
