William Saliba's performance against United on Wednesday evening once again demonstrated his quality as a defender.

The Frenchman put in a dominant display as he helped keep the threat of Man United's attackers to a minimum. As he limited chances for Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, Saliba was arguably his side's best attacker on the night.

Saliba's brilliance stretched into goalscoring against United as he doubled his side's lead when Thomas Partey's header went in off his backside. Saliba put in a brilliant performance in both defence and attack and was certainly a standout for the Gunners.
