Erik ten Hag's Man Utd admission after Arsenal win spells more bad news for Harry Maguire

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has praised his side's defensive performance as they continued their impressive up-turn in form with a 3-1 win over Arsenal.

Marcus Rashford stole the show with his first United brace since December 2020, while Antony also found the scoresheet as United recorded their fourth successive victory to move up to fifth. Meanwhile, It was the Gunners' first Premier League defeat of the season, although they do still remain top of the division.

But United were excellent at the back and limited Arsenal to few clear-cut opportunities throughout despite Bukayo Saka's first goal of the season. Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane were superb to keep Gabriel Jesus relatively quiet, while Tyrell Malacia and Diogo Dalot continued to shine at full-back.
