Martin Odegaard said Arsenal's players were "super disappointed" in the Old Trafford dressing room following their 3-1 defeat by Manchester United on Sunday.
United have won four successive Premier League matches, as memories of the defeats to Brighton and Brentford disappear from view. Erik ten Hag has now picked up all 12 points on offer following the sobering defeat in West London, including wins against both Liverpool and Arsenal.
A debut goal from Antony saw the man from Ajax make an instant impact, as he sent the Old Trafford crowd wild with celebrations following his 35th-minute goal. The Brazilian winger calmly slotted past Aaron Ramsdale into the bottom corner to give United the lead.

Not to be outdone, Marcus Rashford scored two second-half goals to restore United's lead after Bukayo Saka's 60th-minute strike brought the scores level. Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes both showed off their impressive passing range and vision for the goals as they carved Arsenal open on two occasions just nine minutes apart.
Things could have been very different for United had Gabriel Martinelli's early strike not been ruled out. Odegaard was deemed to have fouled Eriksen in the build-up, and despite the Arsenal man's protests of innocence and post-match comments, the goal was chalked off.
Odegaard has now revealed the impact that the result had on the Arsenal camp, as he told the club media just how upset the players were after the full-time whistle.
“Everyone is super disappointed, we always play to win, we wanted to come here and get a result," said Odegaard. "I feel like everyone feels like we should’ve got something out of the game. The game was there for us to take something, we’re all disappointed, the mood is a bit down but that’s how it is.”
"The first and the second goal, we had the momentum of the game, we let them score two easy goals. It’s frustrating and annoying but yeah as I said we should’ve got something out of the game.”
