Sometimes as a pundit you can still be really positive about a team's performance even when they lose, and Manchester United's 1-0 defeat by Arsenal is a good example of that.

After conceding a silly early goal that ultimately proved decisive, United showed on Sunday that their system works and also demonstrated the difference their new signings will make to it.

As I said on Match of the Day, they were more dynamic and more direct. Physically, they looked really strong too.

Essentially, they were able to be much braver when they tried to win the ball back because they have got much more quality higher up the pitch.
