Manchester United’s interim manager Michael Carrick has made it two wins from two after a sensational 3-2 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates yesterday.

Despite going behind to a Lisandro Martínez own goal, United fought back through Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu.

A late Matheus Cunha curler sealed the result, ending Arsenal's unbeaten home record this season and propelling United into the top four.

Carrick praised his side's "game intelligence" after defeating the league's top two teams in a single week.
