Match rewind: Choose your favourite Arsenal win

UNITED 8-2 ARSENAL (2011/12)

Old Trafford has seen its fair share of breathtaking football over the years, but this August afternoon in 2011 was one of our very best offensive performances. As reigning champions, we welcomed an Arsenal side yet to score in their opening two Premier League games, and their fortunes only worsened at the Theatre of Dreams. Danny Welbeck headed us into the lead after 22 minutes, before David De Gea crucially saved Van Persie’s penalty. That spurred the Reds on and soon Ashley Young, Wayne Rooney and Nani were having their own personal Goal-of-the-Day competition. For Wayne, it was one of his finest showings in a United shirt, as he bagged a hat-trick in the late summer sunshine.
