Paul Pogba good and Marouane Fellaini class vs Arsenal
David de Gea - 6
Had a handful of routine attempts to deal with in what was a dull afternoon
for the United goalkeeper. Could do nothing about the Henrikh Mkhitaryan
goal.
Antonio Valencia - 5
Seems oblivious to the saying 'bend it like Beckham'. His one-dimensional
crossing blunted United's attack but Valencia was defensively solid.
Chris Smalling - 5
Hesitated when the ball broke free for Mkhitaryan's opener to grant the
Armenian the space to finish past De Gea.
Victor Lindelof - 6
Read the game well in the first-half and showed he is becoming more
extroverted on the pitch. Got caught out for Mkhitaryan's goal.
Ashley Young - 7 (那球怎么中柱的 角度超妙
Saw a deflected cross ricochet onto the post and was a regular threat down
the left-hand side. Great cross for Fellaini's winner.
Nemanja Matic - 5
Contributed to the hesitancy with Herrera which Mkhitaryan capitalised on.
Unusually loose against Arsenal's mercurial midfielders.
Ander Herrera - 5
Misjudged Antonio Valencia's inside pass to allow Mkhitaryan to nip in and
equalise. Nowhere near as dynamic as he was at Wembley.
Paul Pogba - 7
Began and finished the opener with a super surge and perceptive pass for
Romelu Lukaku before he anticipated the opening by knocking in the rebound.
Jesse Lingard - 4
His performance reiterated United's need for an expert right winger. Guilty
of making the wrong decision and ceded possession regularly. Substituted.
Alexis Sanchez - 6 (可惜差点恩返
Should have netted the opener but his header was diverted onto the post by
Hector Bellerin. Busy and few teammates matched his intensity. 6
Romelu Lukaku - 4 (伤势应该不严重吧!
United's counters invariably ended at his feet on a day his lack of fluidity
hampered the attack. Came off injured early in the second-half.
Subs
Marcus Rashford - 4
Did next to nothing.
Anthony Martial - 5
Fine cross for Fellaini.
Marouane Fellaini - 7
Scored the winner.
