The Gunners dominated the first half but were made to pay for a lack of end product when Bruno Fernandes bent a free-kick home just before the break.
Declan Rice hit back in the 74th minute with a finish swept in off the post as Arsenal chased a comeback victory, but it was United who had the best opportunity as David Raya was required to make a crucial late stop to deny Fernandes the winner.

Rice reacts
Declan Rice is first to speak to Sky after the game, and he says that “it felt like a couple of us jumped and some of us didn’t” when conceding the free-kick.
“I’ve not seen it back. It felt like the ball flew over us at quite a low height so, from the wall’s perspective, we could have done a lot better.
“The wall did feel far back. Even on our free-kick, when Martin took it, they felt far back as well, more than usual. But the referee makes that decision,” he added.

Liverpool do not play in the Premier League again until 2 April. If they win their next six league games (or win five and draw one) they will secure the title – if Arsenal don’t drop any more points – with a victory over Chelsea in a game that is set for Saturday, 3 May.
Arne Slot’s side could then play their first game as champions at home to Arsenal on 10 May.

A dismal first half – until injury time, anyway – and a rather more eventful second. The result was probably about fair but a bad one for Arsenal and a decent one for United, given that they tend to lose at home to everyone who isn’t in the relegation zone.

FULL-TIME! Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal
That is the final notable chance of the game as Arsenal’s last attack comes to nothing.
The points are shared at Old Trafford as the referee brings the game to an end.

90 +4 min: What a save! It’s a golden chance for United.
Garnacho is isolated but he manages to find the pass into the box to Mazraoui. The Moroccan cuts it back to Fernandes in the box but he fires it straight at Raya! The ball comes off the ‘keeper and it bouncing towards the back of the net, but he runs back to claw it off the line!

90 +3 min: United hunt a winner of their own but the final ball is poor this time. Garnacho is having to do a lot on his own.

90 +2 min: CLOSE! Was that the chance?!
Shouldn’t matter anyway as he was offside, but a good chance for Arsenal.
They work it to Odegaard at the edge of the box and his low effort tests Onana, who spills it to Martinelli, but the Brazilian fires over.
