The Gunners dominated the first half but it was United who struck first through a well-taken free kick by Bruno Fernandes. Declan Rice levelled it up with 15 minutes to play when he fired a first time effort from the edge of the box past Andre Onana into the far corner.

Declan Rice put in an outstanding performance at Old Trafford as he made his presence known in all areas of the pitch.

The midfielder helped cause problems in attack and was frequently involved in the Gunners' build-up play. His big moment came with 15 minutes remaining when he struck a brilliant first time effort into the far corner of Andre Onana's goal to level the score.

Rice then had a huge impact at the other end of the field when he made an outstanding tackle to deny Rasmus Hojlund what looked to be a clear attempt to win it. It was certainly a standout showing from the England international who did brilliantly to step up for his side.
