He was actually their best player on the pitch today,of Arteta tries to sell him then they should kiss bye bye to the league title”, Pep Guardiola has warned Mikel Arteta to try by all means to keep £50m Arsenal player this as He sees Him as their Messiah for next season

The Gunners will play Manchester United in Los Angeles early on Sunday (UK time), kicking off Arsenal’s preseason.

In order to take against Erik ten Hag’s team, Mikel Arteta started a potent lineup that included Ben White, Jurrien Timber, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jorginho, Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard, and Gabriel Jesus in the first half. Nevertheless, Rasmus Hojlund gave the Red Devils the lead with a flawless close-range shot after turning rookie defender Ayden Heaven.

But Jesus had a great chance in the opening minute at the SoFi Stadium, and Arsenal might have taken the lead. Due to an error made by recently signed United player Leny Yoro, the Brazilian found himself sprinting through on goal and into the Manchester United box.

Jesus, however, wasted the chance by cutting inside rather than shooting, which allowed the Manchester United defenders to close the distance and bring down the former Manchester City player. It would have been wise for the 27-year-old to take advantage of the chance and at the very least put Andre Onana to the test.

This play segment may have brought to light Arsenal’s need—which they are now considering—to add a forward this summer. football.london is aware of Nico Williams and Johan Bakayoko are two names that Edu and Arteta are interested in signing: a flexible forward who can play across the front line.

A few strikers, including Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, and Ivan Toney, have also been predicted to join Emirates Stadium this summer. Jesus showed his clinical side later in the half, despite being wasteful in front of goal during the first sixty seconds of the match against Manchester United.

Following some excellent work from Ethan Nwaneri on the left, the child crossed the box with a dangerous ball, which Jesus neatly tapped in. Jesus actually put in a strong first half display, and he most likely deserved the goal.

Jesus wants to lead Arsenal to Premier League triumph in 2024–2025, thus he will strive to stay healthy and score as many goals as he can. But if the Gunners sign another forward and how that would affect Jesus’ minutes is still up in the air.
