Manchester United player ratings vs Arsenal: Kobbie Mainoo stars in New Jersey as Jadon Sancho shows promise
It was a fairly dominant display from Erik ten Hag’s side against a Premier League rival, albeit pre-season games are not all about the results.
Both teams made a raft of changes and the Red Devils later won a penalty shootout after the full-time whistle.
Here’s how Man Utd players rated…
Tom Heaton – 8
A really strong display with both his hands and feet.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 7
Got forward well.
Raphael Varane – 6
Solid enough at the back.
Lisandro Martinez – 7
Does not take the word “friendly” literally.
Luke Shaw – 7
Very strong outing up and down the left-wing, pinning Bukayo Saka back.
Kobbie Mainoo – 8
A big show of faith from ten Hag to start and the youngster did well in the pivot, starting attacks from deep.
Mason Mount – 6
Hardly had an impact
Bruno Fernandes – 7
The new club captain was typically industrious and while lucky to see his shot go in, still led from the front.
Alejandro Garnacho – 6
Rusty but busy enough.
Jadon Sancho – 7
Promising flashes and took his goal well.

Missed a brilliant chance after great work from Shaw and Fernandes with a weak mis-hit.
Subs
Diogo Dalot – 6
Wasn’t able to get forward as often as Wan-Bissaka.
Victor Lindelof – 6
Won the ball back a few times in a committed display.
Harry Maguire – 7
Booked for a foul but by no means shaky despite recent turmoil.
Brandon Williams – 6
A downgrade on Shaw.
Scott McTominay – 6
Not a huge amount to do other than defending.
Casemiro – 6
Similar to McTominay.
Christian Eriksen – 5
Rusty.
Amad Diallo -5
Injured after 15 minutes.
Omari Forson – 4
Could not get into the game.
Marcus Rashford – 5
Somewhat laboured.
Facundo Pellistri – 4
Struggled to make an impact.
