UNITED RATED 7 6

BY SAMUEL LUCKHURST

ANDRE ONANA

Errant kick led to first goal though Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were more blameworthy. Superb saves from Martinelli and Rice.

DIOGO DALOT

Back at left-back and embarked on a spirited run at 0-0 that could have ended more productively. Barely troubled.

CASEMIRO

Played walking football for Trossard’s goal, trundling out of defence. He should not have been playing there.

JONNY EVANS

Acquitted himself respectably in difficult circumstances. His wiliness helped keep Arsenal at bay until he came off injured.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA

Struggling to keep tabs on Trossard before he was blindsided by Belgian for the opener. Risk-aversive with his passing.

AMAD DIALLO

His first start in 886 days and performed so enterprisingly it remains mystifying why Erik ten Hag has started Antony.

KOBBIE MAINOO

An improvement on recent performances. Benefitted from the presence of an outright defensive midfielder next to him.

SCOTT MCTOMINAY

Captain on his return but he started in the wrong role. Struggled to do anything of note when he got the ball.

SOFYAN AMRABAT

A diligent performance and the kind United possibly expected more often. His balance was much-needed.

ALEJANDRO GARNACHO

A constant outlet but he was kept in check by White in the first half and squandered an excellent opening in second.

RASMUS HOJLUND

Worst run of form at the worst possible time continues. Unnerved Arsenal on his debut but not this time.
