Man Utd player ratings vs Arsenal
Altay Bayindir: 9
A bag of nerves in the first hour and had to claim the cross before Gabriel’s deflected easier. Redeemed himself with a superb penalty save and produced a point-blank stop to deny Declan Rice’s header.
: 8
Was solid against barring his five minutes of madness and he contributed to another highly commendable defensive display. Outrageous goalline block to deny Leandro Trossard in extra-time.

Harry Maguire: 8
An absolute force at the heart of United’s defence. Cleared and blocked every single ball that entered his vicinity. Conceded the penalty but VAR would’ve surely overturned the decision.
Lisandro Martinez: 6
Was treading on eggshells after receiving an early booking from the card-happy Andy Madley.
Noussair Mazraoui: 7
Flaunted his defensive qualities as part of the visitors’ praiseworthy collective performance to frustrate .
Manuel Ugarte: 6
Continued his strong streak of form by quietly doing his job against the Gunners’ energetic engine room. Amorim’s first-choice midfielder.
Kobbie Mainoo: 6
Kept things ticking with a composed performance in midfield. Tested David Raya with a stinging long-range effort early on.
Diogo Dalot: 2
Cost his team with a moronic decision to slide in late while on a yellow card. Deserved red. Plenty of Madley’s decisions are under dispute, but that wasn’t one of them.
Alejandro Garnacho: 6
Had little bite in the first half but showcased improved decision-making to provide the assist for Fernandes’ opener.
: 7
Booked for flinging his boot in anger twice after Madley denied him an obvious free-kick right on the edge of ‘s box. Beat Raya with a fierce finish, but his Anfield masterclass was a hard act to follow.

: 4
Starved of service, but too many first touches went astray. Still hasn’t proven he can lead the line in these big games. United need to sign an established striker the 21-year-old can learn from.
Substitutes
Amad: 6
Handed a well-earned rest but struggled to make an impact off the bench, while United were largely pegged back.
Toby Collyer: 7
The 21-year-old didn’t look out of place in his first appearance since the 7-0 Carabao Cup win against Barnsley on September 17.
Joshua Zirkzee: 8
Held the ball up really well to halt ‘s late momentum. Scored the winning penalty to become an instant cult hero. His redemption arc continues.
Tyrell Malacia: 6
Started the 2-0 league defeat at the Emirates last month. Entered in extra-time on this occasion.
Leny Yoro: 6
Some more minutes in the tank. He’ll have a tall order to break into this back three if current performance levels are maintained.
