David de Gea
Was indebted to Victor Lindelof a couple of times for preventing chances. Faced another penalty and was beaten by another penalty. 5
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Strangely vulnerable at the far post again in what was a repeat of his performance at Brighton. Even Bukayo Saka out-jumped him. 4
Victor Lindelof
Stretched every sinew to deny Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and then Alexandre Lacazette but was robbed of the ball and Willian hit the crossbar. 6
Harry Maguire
Secure enough with Arsenal decamped in United's third in the first-half. Had a good chance at 0-0 but headed wide. 5
Luke Shaw
Had some decent moments but was largely penned in by Arsenal's press. Delivered an inviting free-kick for Maguire to connect. 6
Scott McTominay
Positioned at the base of the diamond but was a poor conduit between defence and attack and was swamped. 5
Fred
A sloppy regression from the Brazilian, who could not hit water if he fell out of a boat. His worst performance in some time and he came off on the hour. 3
Paul Pogba
Failed to match Arsenal's intensity and his passing was often errant. Imbecilically conceded a penalty by fouling Hector Bellerin. 3
Bruno Fernandes
Taking risks are part of Fernandes' game but he was wasteful to a maddening level and it was not an aberration. Rightly substituted. 4
Marcus Rashford
Softened up before he delivered a great pass for Greenwood to have United's first chance. On the fringes too much. 5
Mason Greenwood
Tested Bernd Leno in the 21st minute with a low drive but otherwise looked unsure in attack and his positioning was a problem. 4
Subs
Nemanja Matic
A contentious arrival as United's first substitute. 5
Edinson Cavani
Not really at it. 4
Donny van de Beek
His cross deflected onto the post. 5
Manager
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
The diamond was rumbled and Solskjaer did not change United's shape until the start of the second-half. The switch was too cautious and did little to arrest Arsenal's dominance. 3
