Rio Ferdinand has called for patience with Arsenal ’s new signing, Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker, who joined from Sporting CP in a £64million deal, was handed a start in Arsenal’s Premier League opener at Old Trafford.

In an effort to try and push them over the line to collecting silverware, Arteta brought highly-rated striker Viktor Gyokeres to the Emirates, but while he is undoubtedly a good finisher, it remains to be seen if the Gunners' methods of creativity suit the Swedish hitman.

A much-improved Manchester United scrapped with Arsenal but fell victim a goalkeeper error in a 1-0 season-opening loss at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Manchester United host Arsenal in their first Premier League match of the campaign, but there will also be a reunion between Ruben Amorim and Viktor Gyokeres
