The Arsenal boss has praised the way United defended against his team as one of the main reason United won.
The Gunners lost their second game in a week to a Rashford inspired United side. The defeat further questions Arsenal title credentials and character.
The Frenchman thought the Gunners had the much of the ball but less of the goals.

"I felt that we had a lot of the ball and a lot of,possession. We favoured their game plan because we conceded two quick goals and at 2-0 down it is difficult.
"You have to take a gamble. I think the biggest regret was we had so much of the ball but we conceded three goals. It is difficult to win away from home after that."
He thinks United defended well and conceded a lot of free kicks in the midfield.
"I think they defended well. Every time we could get into the flow they stopped us with little free-kicks in the middle of the park and then we had to play again.
"On the set pieces, I think we should have done more with the free-kicks we had around the box and from the middle of the park we weren’t dangerous enough." He added.
The defeat leaves the Gunners third on the table, seven points ahead of United and five behind leaders Leicester City.
