'WE WERE SLOPPY AGAINST UNITED' - ARTETA REACTS TO OLD TRAFFORD DEFEAT
Mikel Arteta is unhappy with Arsenal's performance in the 3-2 defeat:
"I think that we were sloppy in possession. We gave the ball away to the opponents when we had no pressure and that created some momentum. You allow them to run, you have the structure to play and suddenly you start to give the ball away and so many unforced errors that leads to them to have the belief that they could do something in the game."

'We were sloppy against United' - Arteta reacts to defeat at Old Trafford

MATCH REPORT - RONALDO STEALS HEADLINES ON DRAMATIC NIGHT AT OLD TRAFFORD
CR7 801 not out, one of the most bizarre PL goals you'll see, a VAR intervention and a goodbye win from departing caretaker boss Carrick.
Oh - and Rangnick was watching on from the stands.
Fair to say it was a real cracker of a match.

CARRICK TO SIGN OFF IN STYLE?
In three matches, Carrick has impressed. The caretaker boss in on the verge of clocking up two wins and a draw to leave Rangnick with plenty of positives to come into.

CHANCE FOR SAKA - BUT DE GEA STANDS TALL
Saka is left in a fair amount of space on the right side of the United area. He has time to fizz it across the six-yard box but scoops a tame effort straight at De Gea.

ALMOST 3-3 AS AUBAMEYANG IS DENIED AT CLOSE RANGE
The Gunners cause problems down the right. It falls for Auba in acres of space in the area but his snap shot is straight at De Gea. Replays suggest he was probably offside but neither attacker or goalkeeper knew it.
