Manchester United fans may struggle to take anything positive from Sunday's defeat at Arsenal, particularly when victory was a matter of millimetres away, but a glimpse into the future link-up between Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho should set pulses racing.
It all could have been so different, with the away end in that corner of the Emirates sent wild as Garnacho raced through on goal and slotted his finish past Aaron Ramsdale.
But VAR stepped in to spoil the party. As it turned out, United went from a first away win against a top-six side under Erik ten Hag to a second consecutive defeat on the road in a matter of minutes.
Arsenal went up the other end as their own marquee summer signing, Declan Rice, saw his effort deflect past Andre Onana, with Gabriel Jesus making it three not long after.
