On paper we should have smashed them. Players seemed to think so too and looked a bit too relaxed till Arsenal scored. We need to start putting teams to the sword, it's not like we have anything to rest for so should be going in at 100%

Players were not up for it like they were against Spurs in the FA Cup. Good win though without exerting ourselves.

Even an Arsenal side putting in a dogged un-Arsenal like performance, still will turn Arsenaly at the end

Dire stuff against essentially Arsenal reserves but take it and run.

Probably Fellaini's last goal for United - not a bad fixture to get the winner.

Nice to get another win (6 in total) against the top six sides.

Martial was very good when he came on. Thought Matic was very good also.

Fellaini scoring with the back of his Afro. Nothing bettter than that. Champions league again next season. Now let’s go for second place.

Rather dismal performance, rescued by a Fellaini header.

Have to improve our performances at home next season. The atmosphere is dead.

One last Wenger defeat.

Low key win and performance which has become Man. United-Arsenal since Fergie retired really.

Needs Arsenal to appoint Conte to spice things up again.

Poor for large periods of game, the sort of lethargic pedestrian kind of poor, but win always welcome. We should secure second spot with win against Brighton but it’s obvious to see we need changes in the summer. I see at least 6 leaving, and we should replace them with 3 quality players, ideally two of them full backs.

Glad we won, but it was just boring stuff. Due to time differences I'll struggle to be able to see any more of our games this season, and honestly, apart from the cup final, I can't see me putting in much effort to see our remaining league games.

Horrible game to watch. Always enjoy the emotion of a late winner.

Good win, certainly progress made this year in terms of results, but the performances really need to improve. We lacked any semblance of urgency the entire second half and let them back in it.

Second half was weirdly like an inversion of a classic Fergie-Wenger United-Arsenal tie. We had all the ball, attacked pretty much nonstop, lots of neat and tidy passing without much cutting edge, and they got the goal.

Until the last twenty minutes, when we remembered we're United not Arsenal, and banged on the door until it deservedly went in.

Wooo, three points. Dramatic late winner.

We are such a nothing team though, it's almost hilarious. It's not that we are bad, we just have no personality or discernible playing style. It's just a big fat load of meh even when we win.

Shit performance to be honest. What pisses me off about us is that we're capable of playing well. We are capable of showing urgency, attacking quickly, creating chances, etc., but we don't do anything until we suddenly realize that we might get embarrassed and then the urgency steps up. Obviously last 10 minutes are a scramble, but there's a middle ground between the last 10 minutes of that game and the remaining 80 minutes of doing feck all and being way too casual and showing very little attacking intent.

This was a shit Arsenal side, one focused on a Europa League semi final and fully rotated. And we're at Old Trafford, supposedly full of confidence. It was shite. But we got the win which is the main thing in the end.... But the problem with us under Mourinho is that's all we'll ever be able to say. "Played shit, got the win just about". Yeah sorry if I'm not thrilled with that.

The difference between Jose and Wenger - we didn’t look like getting the winning goal playing pretty football so Jose brings in Fellaini... Ashley Young cross, Fellaini header & so long, thanks for all the fish Arsene :smirk:

Thought the first half was a good game. Second a little less. The double sub seemed to stifle our game for some reason.

I hope Mourinho has realised Lingard is shit, full backs are shiiter and Martial has to play.
