Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta expressed his great happiness with the victory over Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford in the first round of the Premier League.

Arteta said in statements to Sky Sports: "Winning here is great, especially with the new atmosphere and the signings we made. We must be humble in the way we scored the goal, as matches are decided in both penalty areas, and that's what we did today."

He added: "I look at the players' faces and feel they want more. We know we are much better than what we showed in some periods of the match. Before I came here, it had been 18 or 20 years since Arsenal last won at Old Trafford, but now we are winning here several times and we are still not completely satisfied."

The Spanish coach warned of Manchester United's attacking strength, saying: "They have great speed in the front line and can threaten at any moment, so we had to be cautious."

Regarding the performance of new signings Viktor Gyökeres and Martin Zubimendi, he said: "I am very happy with them, as well as with the other players who came on, they made a significant impact in the match. Some of them have not yet reached their best physical level, but we will get past this stage soon."
