#4 Compact Defending, particularly in the second half
Even though United failed to keep a clean sheet, they stayed compact at the back. Arsenal got minimal joy in the final third as they were allowed very little room and time to affect the game inside the box.
While the Gunners continuously knocked on United's doors quite a few times in the game, they could not score more than once. Lindelof impressed again at the back and was ably aided by Bailly, who was strong under pressure and even showed some good skills on the ball.
The back four was ably assisted by the midfielders, and together, United closed down the opposition very fast, robbing them of the luxury of choosing their passes well.
No matter how hard they tried, Arsenal could not find a way through a resolute Manchester United defense, who fought for every ball and refused to give up.
