Solskjaer’s first defeat in the Premier League as the United manager comes at a crucial time for his team. United had won 9 consecutive away games since his appointment and were coming into the game after a fantastic comeback win over Paris in midweek.

It looked like the Gunners would have a hard night out, but in truth, it turned out to be a reality check for Solskjaer’s men.

If there was any complacency in the team, those were washed out after United failed to capitalize on a weekend where both Spurs and Chelsea slipped. The defeat to Arsenal also sees them fall down to 5th right now, while Chelsea, with a win in the game in hand, could push United further down to 6th.

However, now is not the time to fret. The top four race is far from over and perhaps, this loss to Arsenal was just the heads up United needed right now. This loss will have the United team grounded and could help galvanize the team.
