Below are your player rankings for Manchester United vs. Arsenal, scaled from 1 to 10.
7 — David De Gea Had to make just one save, but it was successful, particularly while going long.
6 Tyrell Malacia had a Very solid day on the field. Still, his forward cheating and failure to refocus on Arsenal's lone goal, which was scored on Bukayo Saka's side of the field no less, are signs of his youth and inexperience. Because of what that error may have meant for another statement to win, his grade is what it is.
Lisandro Martinez (Off 80'): 6.5 – Early on, he gave away a risky free kick, but his tenacity is well-placed in the group.
8.5 for Raphael Varane was not excellent with the ball, but his defense was near-perfect. Both strong and intelligent.
Diogo Dalot: 7 — Was effective at the back but wasteful forward, like Varane
Scott McTominay: 7 – He dwindled significantly in the latter minutes but completed all 25 of his passes.
Christian Eriksen: 7.5 – The unit's captain made two crucial passes, one a beautiful long pass that set Marcus Rashford free.
Bruno Fernandes: 8 – A high-pressure game against the midfield of Arsenal and three crucial passes.
Jadon Sancho (Off 67'): 7 — Contributed to the first goal but eventually left the match.
Marcus Rashford (Off 80'): 9 — Made two successful field goals and two crucial passes, one of which set up Antony's first goal.
Antony (Off 58'): 8 – This guy should be entertaining. Everything is on display: panache, style, arrogance, and finish.

Fred (7 on 67')
Harry Maguire (On '80') — n.d.

Gabriel Magalhaes: 6 — The strongest member of a struggling back line.
Ben White (Off 80'): 5.5 – Workmanlike, although occasionally outpaced for speed.
Albert Sambi Lokonga (On 74′): 5.5 – Good but not nearly at the level of the Thomas Party.
Granit Xhaka: 6.5 – The team's emotional thermometer and the best player outside the front four.
Bukayo Saka: 7 — The elusive, technical star delivers more of the same.
