Chapter 1: What were the key moments of the Arsenal vs Manchester United match?
And party's on! Here's Varela, looking in early, and it falls for Marcus Rashford, does it again. Mata, Varela, back for Lingard again. Marcel struggling to keep pace with him. Oh, goodness me. Unbelievable. Ozil takes. And it's glanced in. Danny Welbeck got the touch. And Herrera! Oh, that's super from the Spaniard. Sanchez. Oh, perfect. Stopped by, but Ozil's followed it up.
Herrera made the first save, but Ozil gets the second goal for Arsenal on the follow-up.
Chapter 2: How did Marcus Rashford perform in his debut against Arsenal?
A terrific afternoon for Louis van Gaal and his Manchester United side. An eventful one at Old Trafford, a really disappointing one for Arsenal and their title hopes. They'd been beaten by three goals to two. They had 13 attempts to visit us, five on target for both sides. 39% is the lowest possession for Manchester United in a Premier League game at Old Trafford at this season.
They had 14 touches in the opposition area only, but they won it by three goals to two. The headline act again, this man Marcus Rashford, the skipper of the day and the new goal-scoring hero with Jeff Shreves.
Marcus and Michael first. It's been a good week. What is it now? Yeah, well, I said before the game to you, I said it's about finishing this week off, really. Obviously a lot of injuries and playing Marcus up front again. He's done unbelievable. What a week for him, what a week for us. It was a massive win, I think you can see what that meant to us today.
Chapter 3: What were the reactions to Arsenal's performance and title hopes?
It was a big win for us and we've got to go again Wednesday.
Marcus, tell us what it's been like for you, particularly today.
This is my first game in the Premier League, so obviously it's been amazing. And to score two, it's just a bonus. So hopefully we can just carry it on and go again next game.
I think you scored your first Premier League goal with your first Premier League shot.
Yeah, same as Europa.
How much did it help what happened in midweek, giving you the confidence going into the game?
You know, it was a shock playing midweek as well because my show 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. So it's just been good.
Michael, how much do you think the Old School stacked against you going into the game because of the amount of injuries?
Yeah, maybe they were, but, you know, we've said before when we've had a couple of defeats, we're not making that as an excuse, you know, that's why we've got the squad. And, you know, things like this one, you know, top up. The young lads have came in, they've done ever so well. So that's a massive bonus for us and gives us a massive boost.

Chapter 4: How did injuries impact Manchester United's game strategy?
So, you know, we'll patch everyone up as much as we can. We go again Wednesday. What was it like for you out there today?
It's just crazy, but having the likes of Michael around in the team as well, it helps us all with our experience, so we can only go forward.
After you got your second goal, I saw Michael speak to you. What did he say?
He was just saying, keep going, because he was backing off and stuff, so just saying, keep going.
And how much is this, the stuff of dreams, what you've worked for coming through the academy?
It's crazy. You can't explain it when you're out there. It's just a rush of blood, everything.
Michael, what has it given the whole club, these youngsters, coming through and supporting? It's just a real breath of fresh air, I think.
You know, football's a great game when you see young lads coming through. For me, it brings back memories of not quite scoring like he's done, but, you know, when you start out in your career, you get your chance and you want to take it.

Chapter 5: What did the analysts say about Arsenal's tactical weaknesses?
I think it's just a big boost for the whole club and, you know, a real good feeling now and hopefully there's more to come.
Well, it was a fabulous day for the club and for a particular one young man. Marcus, you are the Barclays man of match on your Premier League debut. Michael, you did the honours. Well done, mate. Fantastic. Just keep scoring, eh?
He probably will the way he started. Here's his Manchester United career then. Four days old, two appearances, four goals, nine shots. Incredible. How's that for a start, David? Time to retire.
Amazing, isn't it? I mean, it's unbelievable.
Chapter 6: How did the commentators evaluate the significance of the match for both teams?
The two goals he got on Thursday, he'd have been delighted with, regardless of the opposition. But today... to get your two goals. And there were times in there, not because Arsenal deserved it, but because Manchester United gave them goals, that it could have tarnished his day, really. But fortunately enough, they've managed to run out the winners as well.
Are we going to get carried away with this guy? People might say he's just been in the right place at the right time, picked out four goals, or could he potentially be the real deal down the line?
That's part of the job. Only he can answer that. But what I like about him is, obviously, he's scored four goals in two games, but his movement, the way he holds the ball also with it, his desire there. He didn't, obviously, score on that one, but also, same thing here, his awareness. He will hold the ball, he won't have throwing, and, obviously, he's in the box, calm, and finishes well.
Same here. Positioning good. Good header.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of this match for Arsenal's title race?
On target. He actually didn't even realise he scored. He was that surprised. But he's doing also the dirty job. Here, I love that one. Timing of the run. He's looking. But there is no one. I'm going alone. Oh, I can't score anymore. Where is my team-mate? He's there. Go. It's only about the goals. I love this one too.
Chapter 8: What did Arsene Wenger say about the team's performance post-match?
Holding the ball, awareness, my teammate carried on, sounding ovation, and only he from now can answer if he can carry on or not. But I love his all-around game.
And Graham, you said at the start this was going to be a total shock for him, something totally different to what he faced on Thursday, particularly at the end there, those two touches at the end. More than handled it.
I think Man United were fabulous today. They had 39% of the ball, which is the lot I've had here. But they deserved to win the game. They were better than Arsenal for me in areas that really mattered. And that young man, when you say, is it just a case of being in the right place? That's an act. That's a sixth sense. That's what the really top men have.
Knowing where the ball is going to bounce off the back of someone's head and he'll drop to me and he'll score. And I think he's got that. He's got real athleticism. He wants to run forward without the ball, which is a great thing to have. That's what young forwards generally do. And he was fabulous, but he wasn't alone in being fabulous today. Man United... If Man United get any momentum going...
they will get into the top four. You know, this will encourage them greatly today. I mean, I don't want to... I'm saying this, but at the same time, I want to be harsh on Arsenal. But I have to say first, I thought Man United... We'll come to Arsenal. Man United deserve to win that game today. You know, they were better for me up front, they were better in the back.
Everything in between didn't really matter. It's more about, you know, tippy-tappy football by Arsenal. Going nowhere, that's why they have 60% of the possession. But they went nowhere with it. Arsenal today border on being a joke for me.
You turn up here, you're playing against a Man United team that's struggling because of their injuries, they're introducing young players, the confidence is low with some of the players, and you're thinking it's tailor-made for a proper team to come here and really do a number on a very under-strength Man United. And they didn't. They didn't.
And you're thinking, next time out they go to Tottenham, what will Tottenham do to them? They'll have to go to Barcelona. By the 16th of March, they could be out of all competitions. This is an Arsenal team that you're saying a month ago, six weeks ago, were a real team. They didn't look at it. Arsene Wenger must be tyrannous here.
And there's a word I want to use, but I can't use it, which describes a lack of something that real players have. And this Arsenal team lack it in abundance, just don't have it. None. And I'll stand on my head if they prove wrong going into this league. Because that today was totally unacceptable. Can you imagine your team coming here and being rolled over like that?
