Aaron Ramsey was Arsenal's best performer against Manchester United in the fourth round of the 2019 FA Cup. With yesterday's performance, Ramsey highlighted what Arsenal would be missing when the Welshman leaves the club on a bossman in the summer transfer window.

The Welsh International operated in the number ten position, acting as a creative outlet for the likes of Aubameyang and Lacazette. His link up play with Arsenal's strikers caused United a fair share of problems in certain parts of the game.

Ramsey played an integral part in the build up to Arsenal's only goal of the night. He dribbled his way past Ashley Young and his ball got a telling touch from Lacazette before being placed in the back of an empty net by Aubameyang. The Welshman had a glorious chance to bring his side to level terms, a few minutes after the restart, as he saw his header smartly tipped over the bar by Sergio Romero.

Arsenal's playmaker on the night would be slightly dejected as he could have brought his side on level terms in the second half and as a result, maybe altered the games result. Overall, Ramsey was the best performer on the night for the Gunners.
