SC) Robin van Persie 6 – Had a quiet afternoon against his former club before being hauled off for teenager James Wilson, who brought more energy than the Dutchman.
SC) Angel di Maria 7 – Not di Maria’s finest afternoon in terms of end product, but his pace troubled the Arsenal defence in the way that van Gaal envisaged.
SUB) Ashley Young 6 – Did a respectable job considering that he was thrown into an entirely unfamiliar position.
