Having exploded onto the scene with Arsenal, Viktor Gyokeres sends a major warning to Manchester United.

Manager Mikel Arteta confidently stated that Viktor Gyokeres can tear apart any defense after scoring his first goal for Arsenal in the 3-0 victory against Bilbao.

Arsenal signed a £64 million striker from Sporting Lisbon last month, ending a long wait to add a true center forward to their squad.

Gyokeres made just 13 minutes on his debut for his new club in the 0-1 defeat against Tottenham in Hong Kong, before failing to score in the midweek clash against Villarreal.

However, Gyokeres officially "opened fire" in the match against Athletic Bilbao. The 27-year-old striker opened the scoring with a powerful header from a pass by Zubimendi.

Gyokeres only scored 5 headed goals for Sporting in 101 appearances, leading opposing fans to mock Arsenal's new striker for his poor aerial ability.

However, he has just proven all the doubters wrong with his first goal for The Gunners.

After beating Bilbao 3-0 thanks to two more goals from Saka and Havertz, Arsenal had an impressive warm-up ahead of their clash with Manchester United this weekend.

Manager Arteta said: "The first goal is always very important. The way Gyokeres received it was fantastic."

Everything he does, his movements, the timing, how Gyokeres anticipates the next move, where there's space—that's the instinct of an assassin.

That explains why Gyokeres has scored so many goals in recent seasons. He's the kind of center forward who, if defenders leave space in a one-on-one situation, will destroy you... "
