Arsenal had not won at Old Trafford with fans present in 18 years. They took the lead in the 20th minute when Leandro Trossard slipped the ball past Andre Onana from close range.

United pressed for an equaliser in the second half, but they seldom troubled goalkeeper David Raya. As Erik ten Hag fights for his job, his team remains eighth in the table, on track for their lowest Premier League finish ever.

Here’s how the players ranked.

Andre Onana

His inaccurate kick set up the first goal, but Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were more to fault. Gabriel Martinelli and Declan Rice both made excellent saves. 7

Diogo Dalot

Back at left back, he went on a spirited run at 0-0 that could have been more effective. Bukayo Saka causes very little trouble. 6

Casemiro

I played walking football for Leandro Trossard’s goal while trundling out of defence. He shouldn’t have been playing there. 4

Jonny Evans

In tougher situations, he performed admirably. His cunning helped keep Arsenal at bay until he was hurt again. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Was battling to keep up with Trossard before the Belgian scored the opening goal. He was risk-averse at the time of his cast. 4

Kobbie Mainoo

An improvement over recent results. Benefited from having an outright defensive midfielder next to him. 6

Sofyan Amrabat

A dedicated performance, one that United may have expected more regularly. His balance was greatly needed following the Mainoo-Eriksen mismatch. 7

Amad

His first start in 886 days went so well that it’s unclear why Erik ten Hag chose Antony and Omari Forson over him. 7

Scott McTominay

Captain upon his return, however he began in the incorrect role. He struggled to accomplish anything noteworthy when he received the ball. 4

Alejandro Garnocho

A regular outlet, although he was kept under control by Benjamin White in the first half and missed a great opportunity in the second. Poor final product. 5

Rasmus Hojlund

His poor form at the worst possible time continues. Arsenal was unnerved on his debut, but not now. Should have taken off sooner. 3

Subs

Antony

A degradation for Amad. 5

Willy Kambwala

Came on for Evans.

Christian Eriksen

Late arrival: 5

Omar Forson

It also came on late. 5

Ethan Wheatley

Replaced Hojlund. 5

Manager

Casemiro was inexplicably played at center defense when there were options, and it cost United. Finally, Amrabat was introduced to restore order in the midfield. 5
