Graeme Souness and Thierry Henry slam Arsenal after loss to Manchester United

He scored two goals against Midtjylland and now again against Arsenal.

Özil setup Danny Welbeck with a brilliant set-piece delivery on 40 minutes for the Gunners opening goal but his teammates squandered their other opportunities.

Van Gaal will not be charged by the Football Association for appearing to mock the fourth official, to the amusement of United’s supporters at Old Trafford, but admitted he’d been out of line. It’s not easy for young lads to come here and play well, but the quality they’re showing is great.

Arsene Wenger’s side now sit five points behind leaders Leicester, three points behind Tottenham, and four in front of Manchester City, who have a game in hand.

Van Gaal lay momentarily prostrate on his back while an unfazed Mike Dean looked down on the Manchester United manager.

“You can see he went down smoothly”.

To add to Arsenal’s misery, Tottenham Hotspur won against Swansea City on Sunday to remain two points back from Leicester and go three points clear of the Gunners in the table.

“Four goals in two matches is an average that’s unusual”. “But what he showed in his second match is special, I think”.

It was Man United that had the lead in the 29th minute, however, when Rashford, on his Premier League debut, stuck the ball in the top corner after Arsenal had failed to clear a cross from Guillermo Varela. “I think [Sunday] is a day to be proud of the club and its Academy – we’ve shown the level that we have”. “His movement in the box was great and he could be a very positive surprise for Manchester United on what I’ve seen”. From De Gea to their whole midfield, who were experienced. There’s a word I want to use, but I can’t, which describes a lack of something real players have.

“It was a shock playing midweek because Martial was meant to be starting and then coming in but that kind of benefited me because I wasn’t thinking about the game too much”.
