What Mikel Areta said
Speaking after the match, the Gunners boss analysed the game in moments. He believed they should have put the game to bed in the first half given their dominance. And in the second, he said they should have capitalised on the Red Devils' fatigue.
"Very frustrating we haven't won with the dominance and the chances we had in the first half,” Arteta said, per the BBC. “We gave the ball away out of nothing. Gave a foul away. We had them in the second half; you could feel they were really fatigued.

"It was the threat in the final 25 metres to make something happen. They didn't want to play. You come here and you want to win the game. Today, it is frustration."
Meanwhile, Arsenal still have a healthy chance of winning the first Champions League title in their history. With the 7-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the first-leg, they have all but sealed a place in the final eight. Arteta will not spend long leaking his wounds from the disappointing draw at Old Trafford, as he has to prepare his team to wrap up the tie against PSV at the Emirates in a few days.
