Premier League giant center matchup! Yorke stealth into a "spectator", Sesco won applause?

In the first round of the Premier League in 2025/26, Manchester United and Arsenal's peak showdown at Old Trafford attracted the attention of fans around the world.

This is not only a direct collision between two traditional giants, but also the Premier League debut of two heavyweight new players:

Arsenal's Viktor Gyökeres

Benjamin Šeško

The performance of the two naturally became the focus of discussions between the media and fans after the game.

Yorcres: The high-priced but "invisible" debut

As a Swedish striker who Arsenal spent 63 million pounds this summer, Yorke is highly expected to become the last puzzle of the forward line.

However, in the duel with Manchester United, his performance was hard to say: he started with 0 shots in 60 minutes, successfully passed the ball only 4 times, and few touches.

Arteta originally wanted him to use his body and run to tear the defense, but in the end he was replaced early due to his sluggish performance. After the game, the British media bluntly said: "poor (poor).

⚡Sesco: The substitute appears active

In contrast, although Manchester United's new player Cesco is just a substitute, he is more active: using his height and running to attack the Arsenal defense, actively confront and show his presence. Although he did not score, his score was higher than Yorke

Amorin affirmed his performance after the game, believing that he has shown tactical value and also allowed fans to see potential possibilities in the future.

Data comparison: Who has a more sense of existence?

Yorkecres (Arsenal): Starting for 60 minutes, 0 shots, 4 successful passes, 21 touches (6.0 points)

Cesco (Manchester United): Appeared on the bench, actively ran many times, and scored higher after the game than Yorkecres (6.3 points)

The result is clear at a glance: Although Cesco failed to decide the winner, it at least showed signs of integration; and Yorkecres almost did not provide any support for Arsenal's offense.

How can new players integrate into the team as soon as possible?

The two faced similar challenges - how to quickly adapt to the Premier League rhythm and prove themselves with goals:

Physical fitness and status: Yorke only played a few warm-up games and was in poor form; Cesco also needed time to adjust.

Tacitly understand with teammates: Arsenal needs to create more opportunities in the middle for York, while Manchester United can take advantage of Sesco's air control advantage.

Psychological adjustment: High transfer fees bring pressure, new players must build confidence through goals and gradually win recognition.

Who is more worth looking forward to?

Judging from the first round, Sesco has been integrating faster, but the season has just begun.

Arsenal needs to give Yorke more patience, he has the potential to become a fulcrum on the front line;

Manchester United can gradually increase Cesco's playing time and allow him to find a competitive breakthrough.

A poor debut does not mean failure, the real test has just begun. Whoever can prove himself first with goals will win the applause of the fans and become a key figure in the team.
