Manchester United Player Ratings: Arsenal (A)

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made it eight wins out of eight as the manager of Manchester United, with his side winning 3-1 against Arsenal in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

United put on a clinical performance and opened the scoring with a searing counter attack. Romelu Lukaku set up former Arsenal man Alexis Sanchez with a delicious through ball and the Chilean did the rest by taking the ball past Petr Cech and squeezing his shot into the far corner.

The visitors doubled their lead just two minutes later through Jesse Lingard. Yet again, United broke with speed and Lukaku set up the World Cup star who took a calm touch and placed the ball past the Arsenal goalkeeper.

The Gunners halved the deficit through Alexandre Lacazette and came at United in the second half, but Solskjaer’s team stayed resolute and ended the game as a contest in the 82nd minute when Paul Pogba drove through the Arsenal midfield and took a shot that was parried to the onrushing Anthony Martial, who finished into an empty net.

Here’s how we rated the Manchester United players in the game.
