FA Cup 2018/19 | Arsenal 1-3 Manchester United: 6 Men who were brilliant for Solskjaer

#1 Jesse Lingard

Lingard started in the no. 9 role

Against Arsenal, the Englishman was Solskjaer's most potent weapon. He continued his good run through the middle as a false 9, working on the gaps and keeping the opposition defence confused with his running.

Lingard did have a few moments of indecision when he could have released the ball a little sooner, but his overall impact on the game was enough to secure a memorable away win.

Lingard was very effective for his team in the counter-attack, and even though he had two new partners alongside him in attack, he carried forward his usual antics which helped them settle into the game. He was a nuisance as always, closing down the defence, and his moment of the game came in the 33rd minute.

Another United counter-attack saw Lukaku burst through the right and as usual, Lingard presented himself as an option for the final ball, taking up a great area in the penalty box and managing to stay unmarked. His finishing was simple and it gave United much-needed composure in the second half.

The Englishman is gradually becoming Solskjaer's secret weapon and his performance on the night secured United's progression into the fifth round of the F.A. Cup.
