Player ratings: Arsenal 2-3 Manchester United

Arsenal crashed to a 3-2 defeat against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners took the lead but then immediately appeared to become unsettled by a United side that shifted its approach.

Martin Zubimendi gifted Bryan Mbuemo an equaliser and then second-half wondergoals from Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha meant Mikel Merino’s tap in wasn’t enough to get anything from the game for Arsenal.

It means there’s now three games in a row in the league where Arsenal have not won, at a critical stage of the season and including two home games.

Man of the match: I don’t think it’s suitable to award a man of the match from that game really. Arsenal were very poor. But Saka and Rice looked the best on a very bad bunch.
