Arsenal vs Manchester United player ratings as Gabriel Martinelli shows skill

Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-1 in normal time as their pre-season tour of the United States continues.

The Gunners fell behind early on when Rasmus Hojlund took Marcus Rashford’s ball over the top and ran away from Ayden Heaven. His shot from near the post then went past Karl Hein. However, it wasn’t long after that that they were back on level terms. Gabriel Jesus headed home Ethan Nwaneri’s cross despite being flagged for offside in the build-up to the goal.

However, as is often the case in the pre-season, the second-half momentum was completely halted by a series of subs. There was time for a moment of quality from Gabriel Martinelli, whose close-range shot beat Andre Onana. Here’s how football.london rated Arsenal players individually in the game.

Karl Hein: Barley tested in the second half. A decent cast when needed. 6.

Ben White: It came out too early to get a rating. N/A.

Jurrien Timber: It came out too early to get a rating. N/A.

Jakub Kiwior: Looked solid at center left back after coming forward again looking decent on the right. Interestingly, however, he was not involved from the beginning. 6.

Oleksandr Zinchenko: It came out too early to get a rating. N/A.

Jorginho: It came out too early to get a rating. N/A.

Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand: Looking decent again in the midfield role after coming on at half-time. His future may not lie with Arsenal, but he will be a top player somewhere if he can stay fit. 7.

Martin Odegaard: It came out too early to get a rating. N/A.

Reiss Nelson: It came out too early to get a rating. N/A.

Gabriel Jesus: It came out too early to get a rating. N/A.

Leandro Trossard: It came out too early to get a rating. N/A.

SUBSCRIBERS –

Josh Nichols: Gets forward well from right back and has occupied central areas well when required. He also did decently in his defensive duties. 7.

Gabriel: You can see which leader is on the team the second he hits the field. The order of it all, setting the tempo and directing the back line. 6.

Myles Lewis-Skelly: Another decent display at left back from the 17-year-old. Reverses very well from that position. 6.

Thomas Partey: Some decent touches at the base of midfield. Robust in approach. He looked more accomplished than against Bournemouth. 6.

Fabio Vieira: Used once again on the right wing which was interesting. Probably the most remarkable part of a quiet performance. 6.

Kai Havertz: He played in a suitable eight role and added something different for Arsenal as an option in attack. He almost scored a goal on the return. 6.

Gabriel Martinelli: Even though it was poor defending for the goal, his finish was beautiful. A sign of what he can do when he’s at his best on the left. 7.

Eddie Nketiah: He hardly touched the ball after entering. 6.
