Manchester United were defeated 3-2 at Arsenal after conceding another late goal amid a spirited performance.
Here is a look at our player ratings from the fixture at The Emirates…
David de Gea – 5
Had a nightmare early on playing the ball out from the back and this led to Arsenal’s equaliser. Made a big late save, yet was too soft for Arsenal’s winner.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 6
Unable to have any impact at all going forward. Largely dealt well with Gabriel Martinelli and made important defensive contributions. Partly at fault for Arsenal’s first.
Lisandro Martinez – 8.5
Scored a fantastic header to equalise in the second half. Sharp defensively as always.
Raphael Varane – 6
This was not a game Varane was able to take control over, and this may have been one game too many for him after a busy week.
Luke Shaw – 6.5
Had a tough task against Bukayo Saka. Keen to get forward and attack.
Scott McTominay – 6
Worked hard defensively, but United clearly missed Casemiro shielding the defence.
Christian Eriksen – 6
Didn’t see enough of the ball to have the kind of game he is capable of.
Bruno Fernandes – 6.5
Always a threat in possession, United just did not get him on the ball enough. Tireless defensive work.
Antony – 6
Gave United shape and got into good positions, but once again his final ball was lacking.
Marcus Rashford – 8
A terrific individual effort for his goal, caused Arsenal problems every time he got on the ball.
Wout Weghorst – 6.5
A useful outlet and created space for United’s opener. It still feels like United are a long way from getting the best out of him.
Substitutes:
Fred – 5
Brought on to help slow down Arsenal’s attacks, he had no impact in doing so.
