Occasional Digest - a story for you

ANDRE ONANA – 7: The Cameroon international was all action but not just with his hands. As a possible sign of things to come next season, he constantly looked to set moves going from the back.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA – 7: Quite why United are actively looking to sell the former Crystal Palace right-back is a mystery.

HARRY MAGUIRE – 7: Bounced back and looked free from the calf injury cost him at the end of last season.

LENY YORO – 6: Lost possession in the first minute only to get back and tackle Gabriel Jesus. Went off injured on 35 minutes.

HARRY AMASS – 5: United need back up at left back and he will be hoping to provide it but the way he lost Gabriel Jesus for Arsenal’s equaliser got him a talking to from the boss.

TOBY COLLYER – 6: Some good penetrating runs here after strong games against Rosenborg and Rangers too.

CASEMIRO – 6: Looks a lot leaner than this time last year in pre-season. The Brazilian looked to be on his way this summer but looks hungry to stay and contribute.

MASON MOUNT – 8: Good first-half playing in the number ten role. Looked sharp constantly trying to get on the ball and had a good shot well saved at the near post.

AMAD DIALLO – 5: Struggled to get in the game but provided a good assist for Mount to get a shot in.

MARCUS RASHFORD – 7: What a great 50 yard ball he produced from deep in his own half to set up Rasmus Hojlund for his goal.

RASMUS HOJLUND – 7: Hit a tenth minute goal as he barged past Ayden Heaven and fired a shot through the legs of Karl Hein. Then moments later he was down injured.

SUBSTITUTIONS

HANNIBAL (for Hojlund, 16) – 5: United reverted to playing with a false nine when he came on but the move lacked potency. 

RHYS BENNETT (Yoro 35) – 6: Looked solid after coming on but was hooked at the break.

JAMES SCANLON (Wan-Bissaka 45) – 5: Too easily breezed passed by Martinelli on his way to the winning goal. 

JONNY EVANS (Maguire 45)- 6: The veteran remains a good presence at the back to call on. 

SAM MURRAY (Amass 45) – 6: On at left back and put in a decent second-half. 

MAXI OYEDELE (Casemiro 45) – 6: Worked hard in front of back four. 

SCOTT McTOMINAY (Mount 45) – 6: Acted is a false nine in tandem with Wheatley and made some good forward runs. 

ANTONY (Amad 45) – 6: We watch and still wait to find out why United paid £86m for him. 

CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN (Collyer 45) – 6: Showed his experience to get back and head behind when Arsenal threatened. 

JADON SANCHO (Rashford 45) – 5:  His second game of pre-seaosn as the uneasy truce between himself and the manager continues. Scored winning penalty in end of match exhibition shoot-out. 

ETHAN WHEATLEY (Hannibal 45) – 5: Came on and swapped with McTominay in a false nine role but did not get one decent chance. Only one to miss in end of game exhibition shoot-out.

WILL FISH (Bennett 45) – 5: Appeared to pull out of a challenge on Martinelli allowing him to score and was berated by Onana.
