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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
