De Gea - 6 (可惜了, 本来又是一场nothing to do)
Did not have an awful lot to do again as Arsenal attacks collapsed in the
final third until Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross.
Valencia - 8 (那绝对是点球)
He has never been so appreciated at Old Trafford. Lifted the crowd with his
surges and should have had a penalty. Deserves a new contract.
Jones - 6
Used his physicality productively against Arsenal's forwards and did not look
fazed despite having two auxiliary defenders to his left. Then he allowed
Olivier Giroud in.
Rojo - 7
His distribution was poor and Arsenal seemed to scent blood whenever the
Argentinian was on the ball but Rojo was game and solid.
Darmian - 5
A risky selection, given the specialists that were available and Darmian
could have been sent off in the first-half. Did not support Martial as well
as Luke Shaw or Daley Blind would have.
Carrick - 6
Played very deep but did not get on the ball enough. Seemed conscious of his
positioning after the chasing he got at Arsenal last season.
Pogba - 7
More reliable on the ball and he brushed off Arsenal's lightweights with
ease. Was eager to influence the attack in his favoured role.
Herrera - 7
Busy as ever but his defensive responsibilities prevented him from supporting
the forwards when he could have had an impact in the first-half. Got forward
more in the second and thrived.
Mata - 7
Valencia's width allowed him to operate more centrally and Mourinho's
programming of Mata is so successful he occasionally filled in at right-back.
Scored marvellously.
Rashford - 4 (太残忍的评分了...其实今天我觉得还不错啊....)
Was bullied by Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi. Tried to press but
ended up looking naïve as he was given the run-around. Lucky to stay on as
long as he did and was at fault for Giroud's goal.
Martial - 5
Had a late flurry in the first-half but United did not offload the ball to
him often enough against the jittery Carl Jenkinson and he looked too casual
at times.
Subs
Rooney - 6
Gave Arsenal's defenders a tougher time than Rashford.
Blind - 7
Made a big difference with his dexterous passing.
Schneiderlin - 5
Did nothing to impress.
