Manchester United defender Harry Maguire says he is ready to relive the glory of previous season openers when he takes on Arsenal at Old Trafford ahead of the opening game of the new Premier League season.

Maguire has fond memories of the opening match. In 2019, he made his United debut and led the team in a 4-0 demolition of Chelsea, a game that fans still talk about. Two years later, in 2021, when Old Trafford welcomed a full house after the pandemic, Manchester United defeated Leeds United 5-1.

Now, Maguire hopes to give the fans another unforgettable opening match with his teammates. In an interview, he said: "You are always excited for the first game, but you also know it is a tough battle. Arsenal is a top team, one of the strongest in the Premier League, and we have always had a great rivalry with them."

“I’m sure Sunday will be a sunny day, just like every opening game. It’s an incredible stadium and the atmosphere is fantastic with all the support. I remember my debut against Chelsea and the game against Leeds United; they were both incredible experiences.”

He also emphasized the team's preparations: "We are well prepared and just need to spend another week to adjust everything to the best condition. Throughout the preseason, you will be thinking about that first game, so it is crucial to prepare for it."

With Old Trafford once again hosting a Premier League heavyweight clash, the clash between Manchester United and Arsenal will undoubtedly be the highlight of the first round of the new season. For Maguire and Manchester United, this is not just a game, but the beginning of a new season journey.
