Central Midfield

7.0. MAN OF THE MATCH: Battled hard throughout, snapped into challenges with his usual bite and intensity, but his passing was a little off. Certainly missed the progressive influence of Granit Xhaka, with the midfield struggling to move the ball through the phases of play, especially if United chose to press high up the pitch. Still, one of the better players on the pitch. Man of the Match out of having to have one.. CM. Arsenal. LUCAS TORREIRA

Was on the ball a lot, which is nice to see, but couldn’t quite break the United defensive lines like Granit Xhaka has been able to in recent weeks. Controlled the game well enough but didn’t really progress play as required. Easy to forget that he is only 19 years old. Has a bright, bright future ahead of him as an all-action, distributing midfielder. Still, not quite at his best here.. CM. Arsenal. MATTEO GUENDOUZI. 6.5
