Manchester United player ratings vs Arsenal as four players score 4/10 amid Ruben Amorim mistake

Manchester United dropped back into the bottom half of the table with a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal.

United performed competently and capably in the goalless first half yet were undone by two corners after the pause, with defenders Jurrien Timber and William Saliba getting on the scoresheet.

Leny Yoro made his debut as a second-half substitute but United's wretched record away from home against the elite continued on an evening that highlighted the gulf between two of British football's biggest clubs.

Here are how the United players rated:

Andre Onana

Did not have the smoothest of starts with his distribution and handling at set pieces. Never wanted to come off his line for Jurrien Timber's headed goal. Worse for William Saliba's goal. 4

Noussair Mazraoui

Moved to left centre back to help out Tyrell Malacia and coasted through the first half. Under the cosh in the second. 6

Matthijs de Ligt

Had one of his most accomplished first halves as United limited Arsenal to chances from dead-ball kicks. Close to equalising with a header. 6

Harry Maguire

A fine first start in 59 days and he got United's first touches in the box to give Diogo Dalot a sighter. A respectable return until his planned withdrawal. 6

Diogo Dalot

Another progressive performance after his early-season slump. Shot wide towards the end of the first half and that was costly. 6

Manuel Ugarte

Recalled for a game he had to start in and he demonstrated why, plugging gaps in a midfield described as "porous" in the programme. So Arsenal breached United through set pieces. 6

Bruno Fernandes
