3 standout players from Arsenal's narrow win over Man United

2. Martin Odegaard

Following on from a lacklustre campaign, Martin Odegaard looked somewhat back to his best against United as he performed well in midfield.

With his side under consistent pressure for most of the game, the Arsenal captain was often one of the players looking to spark counterattacks, playing a number of good passes into the final third.

He looked classy with his skill moves and almost added a second for his side after beating two United players with fake shots before unleashing a strike at goal, only to see it saved by Altay Bayindir. It was an impressive performance from Odegaard at Old Trafford and fans will be hoping it is the start of his redemption arc.
