Gary Neville delivers verdict on Mikel Arteta and William Saliba after Arsenal slip vs Man Utd

Gary Neville has delivered his verdict on Mikel Arteta and William Saliba after Arsenal slip in Premier League game week 6 at the hands of Erik ten Hag's much improved Man Utd outfit.

Coming into this one, both sides were on good form with the Gunners having their early title credentials tested against one of their oldest rivals in the English football remit. ten Hag's side, after a rocky start, had found some rhythm, especially in defence as they were aiming to re-enter the top four conversation at the very least with a shock win against the early Premier League high-flyers.

After a rather even start, the away side looked to have broken the deadlock but VAR yet again intervened to the dismay of Martin Odegaard who was the culprit in this situation. Instead, it was the Red Devils that went in 1-0 up at the interval as £85m signing Antony netted on his debut. Bukayo Saka levelled in the 60th minute with the momentum expected to switch at that point. That never really happened as only six minutes later, the Arsenal backline was caught out by a Bruno Fernandes through ball which Marcus Rashford made sure got the treatment it deserved with a neat finish.
