26 min: Who’ll be the happier so far? Probably United, who have settled down well, although Arsenal have had the best chance. Arsenal need to see a lot more from Walcott, in particular. He’s been invisible since that early run.

24 min: Mata now slots Herrera in on the left, where United are having some joy so far, but Cech gathers his centre. There isn’t really a focal point in the middle for them, not that this is a slight on Rashford.

Goal! Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal (Rashford 29)

Well, well, well! Herrera tackles a dawdling Walcott midway inside the United half. The ball is moved slickly out to Varela on the right, who clips in teasing cross. Gabriel can’t get much on the clearance and it falls perfectly for Rashford, 10 yards out, who finds the top corner! What composure – and what a goal for this under-strength United!
 
Unbelievable. United put together another move down the right; it seems to have gone a bit loose but Lingard retrieves the ball and dinks a left-footed cross in from the corner of the box. Up goes Rashford, barely challenged, and glances a superb header across Cech! Wow.

Goal! Manchester United 2-0 Arsenal (Rashford 32)

This is actually happening.
 
36 min: Depay, to screams of “shoot”, does so and lashes over after receiving a Koscielny clearance. But Old Trafford is bouncing right now. United have been superb; Arsenal, currently, are just invisible.

34 min: “Rashford is totally the English Müller,” writes Alex Flynn. “Perfect understanding of space. Nerveless first time finishes.” Steady now, this is the first or second time we’ve seen him play. But ... well ... what a story this is. United are teeming with confidence at the moment; Arsenal can’t get a touch.
 
38 min: Sanchez overcooks a ball to Ramsey – goal kick. If Arsenal can’t come out of this with something it will be hard to take them very seriously. They’ve completely faded from view and will be grateful for the break as things stand.

36 min: Now Cech is out swiftly to gather after a mistake by Gabriel. The visitors need to sort themselves out sharpish. They do go on the attack now and Blind does well to block an Ozil cross-shot.
 
It is good to see a young player take his chance
and hopefully prove to not only his club but all
clubs that money isn't always the answer
regardless of who you support

Goal! Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal (Welbeck 41)

Now then. Free-kick from Ozil in a fairly central position halfway inside the United half. There’s not much of an angle but the delivery, whipped and flat, is outstanding. Welbeck gets across his man, glances a similar header to Rashford’s across De Gea, and we’ll find out a lot more about both sides now.
