Mikel Arteta has admitted he is very disappointed to lose against a 'world-class' Manchester United team. Arsenal were the only team in the Premier League with a perfect record ahead of Sunday's match, but that record was lost when Arteta's side were defeated 3-1 at Old Trafford by United, thanks to goals from new signing Antony and Marcus Rashford.
Antony opened the scoring in the match and Rashford scored two to win the game. Although Arsenal approached the game with confidence and had opportunities throughout in the match, they were unable to avoid their first defeat of the season.

"Very disappointed that we haven’t won the game," Arteta said. "The game was there for the taking.
We haven’t won it because we lacked some discipline in some moments and we weren’t ruthless enough in front of goal. "I haven’t seen the action but they said it was a soft foul.
It is just the consistency. There is nothing we can do now it is too late. "We concede the first goal in an action with a contact with Bruno [Fernandes], we don’t follow our principles and we concede the goal when it was two against one.
