Man United 0-1 Arsenal: Player ratings as subpar Gunners secure slender opening win

Forwards

Bukayo Saka (RW) - 6.5/10 - Struggled to cause too many problems down the right side, but did manage to put a few crosses into the box. Battled relatively well with Dorgu and Shaw. His set piece deliveries weren't up to scratch.

Viktor Gyokeres (ST) - 6.5/10 - Looked to get involved in some of the build-up play, but couldn't cause too many problems in front of goal. Replaced on the hour mark.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) - 6.5/10 - Caused United some issues on the left flank with his dribbling, but looked slightly too passive on most occasions. Taken off after 60 minutes.

• Kai Havertz (on 60' for Gyokeres) - 6.5/10
