#2 Hit: Scott McTominay
Regardless of the deflection and Xhaka's ducking, Scott McTominay took his goal well and broke the deadlock at a time where Arsenal's backline were left exposed from their own set-piece and insufficient game-management - on the stroke of half-time no less.
Ever-present in midfield, the 22-year-old was a more imposing and ever-present figure than Paul Pogba, Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard combined. Writing that sentence should be a typo somewhere, but it really was the case. Unlucky not to score another, he headed over the crossbar when left free by a wandering David Luiz from a promising second-half corner.
With four tackles, two interceptions, one clearance and key pass to accompany his well-taken strike from range, it was a workmanlike display from a midfielder who continues justifying his place over the likes of Nemanja Matic in a United side who hasn't really found its strongest that hasn't really found its strongest eleven. He won 12 of 18 duels contested and netted a sweetly-struck effort, what more can you ask for? Dependable again.
