Arsenal defeated Manchester United 2-1 in pre-season action at SoFi Stadium in California. A goal from Gabriel Jesus in the first half, and an instant impact from Gabriel Martinelli off the bench in the second was good enough for Mikel Arteta’s side to secure the victory. After the match, it went to penalties where Man Utd won over the Gunners.
Player Ratings
HEIN – 6
Should have done better for the goal but otherwise did everything else well!
WHITE – 7
Very solid and dealt with Rashford brilliantly, but didn’t do too much going forward.
TIMBER – 8
So composed, so strong. Can play anywhere in this back four COMFORTABLY.
HEAVEN – 6
In 45 minutes Hojlund showed him the level that’s needed physically for the Premier League, but what a great response from the 17-year-old, showing real composure in possession for the rest of the half.
ZINCHENKO – 5
Showed technical quality but made sloppy errors in possession too…
ODEGAARD – 7
Did some really wonderful things! Considered giving him an 8 but… by his standards he was slightly short of that!
JORGINHO – 7
Very neat as always! Did really well to win anticipate passes and shut out some of United’s threat.
NWANERI – 8
Arsenal’s most exciting player in the first half! Got a wonderful assist with an underlap & cut-back for Jesus that feels ripped from the Arteta playbook.
NELSON – 8
Looked electric at times, had me asking mate if he was Man Of The Match! Keeps tempting me into thinking keeping him is a good idea… Arteta, trust him!
JESUS – 8
Scored the goal, showed great skill, worked hard and was a constant threat! At times frustrating but that’s his game.
TROSSARD – 6
Did some wonderful things in tight areas but also struggled to get into the game at times! Weird one…
30 MINS
SALAH-EDDINE – 7
Very classy and comfortable in possession, brilliant in the build up to Martinelli’s goal! Talented player!
KIWIOR – 7
Excellent in possession, did everything really comfortably and elegantly. Looking more mature in the shirt, but how do I explain what I mean by that? He just does.
GABRIEL – 7
Huge interceptions when United were attacking! And told Onana what we were all thinking.
PARTEY – 6
He’s nowhere near his best but wasn’t bad either!
NICHOLS – 7
Won an early interception that set the tone. Showed bravery in and out of possession and dealt with Sancho in several one-on-ones! Big performance!
VIEIRA – 5
Struggled to have an impact!
LEWIS-SKELLY – 6
Tidy and confident!
HAVERTZ – 6
Like Vieira, struggled to have much of an impact but got involved!
MARTINELLI – 9
Man Of The Match? Scored a great goal, terrorised United’s defence, almost put one on a plate for Havertz, and reminded everyone of who he is!
NKETIAH – 5
Couldn’t get involved in the game… not a lot was happening centrally.
