With Edinson Cavani provided many chances to open the scoring, United managed to enjoy the bulk of the possession in the second half. Alexandre Lacazette hit the bar with a free kick. Then Emile Smith-Rowe forced De Gea into a good save with a shot that was bound for the bottom right corner.
Arsenal almost disrupted the run of play just after the hour mark. Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard’s latest Arsenal signing made his 82-minute debut, coming on for Smith-Rowe.
