Arsenal v Man Utd (22:00 BST)

BBC Sport at the MetLife Stadium
I have been fortunate enough to visit the United States on seven occasions for pre-season tours, dating back to 2003.
It is noticeable how the make-up of the crowd has changed in that time.
Twenty years ago, there was a novelty value to United turning up, there was applause at the wrong time in games and one of the stadium announcers even got Sir Bobby Charlton's name wrong.
Now, I have just been on a train packed with fans wearing replica shirts of all different years, with all different Arsenal and United names on the back.
These fans know everything about their clubs.
And over 80,000 will be here hoping to see their team win.
Don't see a lot wrong with this piece makes a valid point about the changing landscape in the states. I know he's a bit of a prick most of the time but it's pointless getting worked up about this.
