Arsenal player ratings
Aaron Ramsdale:6 – Some really sloppy moments with the ball at his feet but a big stop to deny Dalot in the second half.
Cedric:5 – He struggled overall to lock down Sancho and Telles and wasn’t great on the ball as he had multiple passes.
Ben White: 6 – Ronaldo managed to get past him a little and hit a cross for United.
Jibril: 6 – See above. He made one great block to deflect Bruno Fernandes’ shot wide after a poor run from Ramsdale.
Nuno Tavares: 6 – What a strange game. He scored his first goal for Arsenal, and had a tough time by Ilanga because he could have received a penalty kick in the first half. Then he awarded a penalty for a ridiculous handball but Fernandes missed it. He’s gone on some escalating runs. Still very tough, especially defensive.
Mohamed Elneny: 7 – A strong display from the Egyptian midfielder. With Barty out, he is adding some much-needed steel to Arsenal’s midfield.
Granite Shaka:7 – An amazing hit to make it 3-1 and he had a ridiculous booking just before that. Xhaka peak. Aside from that, a decent screen.
Bukayo Saka: 8 – His shot led to Arsenal’s opening goal and a penalty kick was awarded for the second time, then scored. It is worrying that he came down late injured.
Martin Odegaard: 8.5 – He shines in midfield and looks very confident to be linked with Nketia and Saka in the final third. He played his best since arriving at Arsenal.
Emile Smith Rowe: 5 – She never participated in the match and was substituted in the second half.
Eddie Nketia: 6 – He missed a great opportunity and hit the offside goal well. He worked his socks off in the attack and created space for Sokka and the others to exploit.
alternatives
Gabriel Martinelli (64/on for Smith Rowe): 6 – Worked hard, especially in defense.
Rob Holding (74′ on for Saka): 6 – Help settle matters in the back.
Takehiro Tomiyasu (90 for Cedric): N/A – Applause after returning from injury.
Manchester United player ratings
David de Gea:7 – He’s made some good stops and he’s the only United player you can’t enjoy.
Diogo Dalot: 6 – He puts out Nuno Tavares’ goal and is not a great defensive player. He hit the crossbar and pole and looked very dangerous in attack.
Victor Lindelof: 6 – He did well, but his movement we were cutting him collided at times.
Raphael Varane: 6 – Not sure how he missed the ball in Arsenal’s first goal. Then settled.
Alex Telles:5 – Like Varane, he missed the ball which led to Arsenal’s opener. Saka gave him a hard time and fired a penalty, which can be a bit harsh. However, Shaw is the first choice left-back on his return.
Nemanja Matic: 6 – The ball kept beating well and whipped in a beautiful cross for Ronaldo’s goal.
Scott McTominay:6 – He fought away, as always, but was unable to impact the match and wasted a huge opportunity in the first half when he was wide.
Anthony Elanga: 7 – His pace got him into some promising positions but he couldn’t finish the chances. His composure in the final third is the next big step in his young career.
Bruno Fernandez: 6 – He had a good effort that deviated from the goal in the first half, and he played well in general, but his missed penalty kick was the big moment and summed up his decline this season.
Jadon Sancho: 7 – Tough as usual and gave Cedric a hard time. She always wanted the ball and I wanted to cut the ball in and tie it to Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo:8 – He scored well, made Elanga on multiple occasions and scored another goal that was just offside. Its quality is incredible.
alternatives
Marcus Rashford (77 / on for Matic): 5 – Tried to share central but had little to no service.
Jesse Lingard (77 / on for Elanga): 5 – I couldn’t get the ball at all in his short cameo.
Juan Mata (84′ to Fernandez): N/A
