Arteta praised his team's resilience and ability to adapt to the situation, saying that they had done a few things well on the day. He noted that taking set-pieces and reacting to mistakes had been key to their success, and that every player had contributed to the win.

While Manchester United were the better team overall, Arteta took heart from the fact that Arsenal had managed to win despite not being at their highest standards. He emphasized the importance of finding that resilience throughout the season, and acknowledged that there was still much work to be done to improve the team.

Arsenal's main close-season signing, Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres, had a quiet debut and was substituted early in the second half, but Arteta remained positive about the overall performance, saying that coming away with a win from Manchester United was a good start to the season.

Arteta's team will look to build on this result as they continue in the Premier League, and the manager will be hoping to see improvements in key areas of the team's performance.
