Henrikh Mkhitaryan produced an outstanding performance on his return to Manchester United but a late Marouane Fellaini goal sealed a 2-1 win for Jose Mourinhos side.
Arsenal endured a nightmare start Alexis Sanchezs header fell kindly to Paul Pogba in the 16th minute and the Frenchman could not miss from close-range.
United were able to keep hold of their lead until the break but there was one moment of brilliance from Mkhitaryan in the 37th minute on the Armenians return to his former stomping ground.
The midfielder started an Arsenal attack with a wonderful turn to deceive Pogba and Ashley Young and the Red Devils duo ended up tackling each other.

Arsenal grew in confidence as the match wore on and Mkhitaryan scored against his former club with a controlled long-range effort to make it 1-1 in the 51st minute.
However, Fellaini spoiled Wengers final trip to Old Trafford as Arsenal boss with a towering header in the 91st minute.
The moment Mkhitaryan made Pogba and Young tackle each other…
Mourinho urged United fans to welcome Wenger to Old Trafford in what could be the Frenchmans final game at the stadium.
He told MUTV: This kind of relationship between a club and a manager is something beautiful and this is the ending of all of this.
Now something like this is not possible anymore so this is the last time he comes here as Arsenal manager. Im sure that us as club he will be welcomed.

I hope also fans can show respect for a man that was Manchester Uniteds rival.
I would say that until 2004 because then there was a power change but for about a decade was about Arsenal versus United.
