Lindelof Gets 6.5, Pogba With 4 | Manchester United Players Rated In Lacklustre Loss Vs Arsenal

Manchester United locked horns with Arsenal at Old Trafford earlier this evening looking to secure a positive result on their home turf. The Red Devils were toothless in the first half but did enough to go into the half-time interval level on the scoreline.

The Mancunian giants were slightly better after the second half kicked off but ended up conceding a penalty which Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang converted in the 69th minute to give his team the all-important lead. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s players struggled to break Arsenal down as the match finished with the home side suffering a lacklustre 1-0 loss at the Theatre of Dreams.

Let’s take a look at how each Man United player fared during the contest against the Gunners.

GK: David de Gea – 5/10

The Spanish keeper was hardly tested during the game but failed to stop Aubameyang’s penalty, which was the difference between the two teams in the end.

RB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 5/10

The ex-Crystal Palace full-back was dominated aerially and produced a fruitless display in the opposition half.

CB: Victor Lindelof – 6.5/10

The Swedish centre-back only had one nervy moment during the game but did well to restrict Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette from scoring from open play.

CB: Harry Maguire – 5.5/10

Maguire was guilty of squandering a glorious goal-scoring opportunity when the scoreline was level. However, he put in a solid performance at the back but will be bitterly disappointed for not earning the shutout in the second half.

LB: Luke Shaw – 5/10

The talented full-back was a bundle of energy with his running down the left flank but lacked the cutting edge in the final third.

CM: Scott McTominay – 5/10

McTominay struggled to win the midfield battles and was often outrun by the Gunners attackers. It was another mediocre display from him tonight.

CM: Fred – 4.5/10

The Brazilian midfield ace offered very little at the centre of the park and was rightfully subbed off in the second half.

CM: Paul Pogba – 4/10

The French international looked like a shadow of his former self and needlessly gave away the penalty after the hour mark.

CAM: Bruno Fernandes – 4/10

The Portuguese playmaker was always looking to get on the ball but was wasteful with his passing and got replaced in the 75th minute.

ST: Marcus Rashford – 5/10

The English striker had a few bright moments in the final third but never looked like he had a goal in him.

ST: Mason Greenwood – 4.5/10

The youngster began the game brightly, but his performance levels faded as the match went on.

Substitutes:

CM: Nemanja Matic – 5/10

The Serbian midfielder failed to get into the game.

ST: Edinson Cavani – 4/10

The Uruguayan striker hardly got a chance to score.

CAM: Donny van de Beek – 5/10

The Dutch playmaker hit the post with his deflected attempt.
