The Gunners boss has urged fans not to go "overboard" following the result as Louis van Gaal fielded a "very experienced midfield"
Arsene Wenger has taken a swipe at Manchester United’s spending following Arsenal’s 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Marcus Rashford’s double, along with Ander Herrera’s strike, has left a huge dent in the Gunners’ title challenge as they now sit five points behind Premier League leaders Leicester City.
But in his post-match press conference, Wenger highlighted the amount of money United have spent on their squad.
"Let's not got overboard. They had a very experienced midfield and spent a lot of money,” the Arsenal boss said.
"They stopped us a lot with little fouls, that was frustrating, I could not question our commitment or desire.
Souness: Arsenal are weak, insipid and pussy-footed
“We lost three points, but we have to show we are up for the fight. Yes, their strikers were young, but they had quality.”
Louis van Gaal also mocked Alexis Sanchez for supposedly diving by taking a tumble in the technical area, but Wenger refused to comment on the Dutchman’s actions.
"You will have to ask him the question, he will call me a bitter loser but I am in fact!" said the Frenchman.
