United sit 10th in the league after picking up nine points, which includes two home wins over Chelsea and Leicester.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side drew their third game of the season when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang earned Arsenal a point at Old Trafford on Monday night.
Scott McTominay had put United ahead before the break, but the hosts could not find a winner after Aubameyang’s equaliser, despite McTominay, Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford all going close.
"We go 1-0 up and then we don't get the second goal that we want to get. That's the learning now for this time. Be more clinical," Solskjaer said.

"There are so many games we have been 1-0 up. We will learn. It's a bad goal to give away but sometimes you make those passes, you play out and it looks good. We learn from it.
We are at the start of building something. It's just a bit disappointing that we can't get that second goal.
"Seven now in seven games [for Aubameyang] so that's clinical. You think at the time maybe Harry [Maguire] managed to get out but it was a few yards onside and a good finish.

"Sometimes you hear a noise and you try your luck, don't you? [On a possible handball...] You'd rather blow the whistle and check it after if you're not sure. I was and quite a few Man Utd fans were sure.
"Effort is never a problem with these boys. They are working hard in training to improve. They were a bit passive at the start. We could have taken more risks going forward."
