Manchester United player ratings
--------------------------------
**Senne Lammens**: 7 - Brilliant save to deny Zubimendi’s header in the first half and Saka’s low shot in the second. Flapped a bit on Arsenal’s late equalizer.
**Diogo Dalot**: 6 - Defended really well and is such a solid player.
**Harry Maguire**: 8 - Positioning was great and cleared the ball so often,
**Lisandro Martinez**: 8 - Unlucky with the own goal as he had to make a challenge for it. Calming presence.
**Luke Shaw**: 7 - Came out even with his England teammate Saka as he worked so hard to shut down crossing opportunities.
**Casemiro**: 7 - Used all of his experience to plug gaps and sat in alongside Maguire when Arsenal had the ball in the final third.
**Kobbie Mainoo**: 7 - Kept things ticking over nicely on the ball. He’s so calm in possession and set up Cunha’s winner.

**Bruno Fernandes**: 7.5 - Two big chances early on that he snatched at a little, but always available high up the pitch and involved in Dorgu’s stunner.
**Patrick Dorgu**: 8 - Stunning run and strike to put United ahead. Always an option on the left. Forced off late on with what looked like cramp. Makes sense as he was everywhere.
**Bryan Mbeumo**: 9 - Took his goal so well and buzzed around brilliantly up top, as he also went close with a cheeky lob. Works so hard.
SubstitutesMatheus Cunha (on for Mbeumo 69'): 8 - Kept hold of the ball well, worked hard and scored a stunner to win it.
Benjamin Sesko (on for Dorgu 81'): 6 - Got a whack in the face and tried his best to give United an outlet up top.
