(SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED INTERIM MANAGER, MICHAEL CARRICK, SAYING: “I thought we did enough in the game to then grow into the game and, you know, the goals are fantastic goals, and there was, some of the football was good, and we looked dangerous at certain times.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED INTERIM MANAGER, MICHAEL CARRICK, SAYING: “Yeah, the boys have been fantastic, you know, as I said, less than two weeks together to put things in place and to try to do the things we've asked, and, I said, there are still layers that we want to get to and we want to improve, but in terms of, kind of, what it's taken to win these two games, they've done great.” 12.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) ARSENAL MANAGER, MIKEL ARTETA, SAYING: “Yeah, very, very disappointed, obviously, but it's a moment, especially after losing, and the joy and everything that those players are giving us, and me in particular, to take myself, responsibility and be very close to them, because it's exactly what they deserve.” 18. WHITE FLASH 19. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ARSENAL MANAGER, MIKEL ARTETA, SAYING: “We were absolutely brilliant in Milan, and today we weren't that good. I don't know if it was mental, because of how much they play, but because we were poor, especially technically in certain aspects of the game, that against a team that when you make those mistakes, they can punish you big time, and that was the difference.” 20. WHITE FLASH 21. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ARSENAL MANAGER, MIKEL ARTETA, ON BOUNCING BACK FROM THE DEFEAT, SAYING: “Doing what we have to do, and doing what we've been doing for seven months. Exactly that, and the position that we are still in today, even though we have lost, I think it's the first time sitting here this season at home, and we've lost a game, no? So, it's part of the journey to winning, and if not, nobody would lose football matches. It's how we react to that, and I am very convinced, because I know those players, that dressing room and how much we want it, that we're going to react immediately.” STORY: Manchester United loosened Arsenal's grip on the Premier League title race with a 3-2 win in north London on Sunday (January 25) thanks to stunning second-half goals by Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha. Victory would have restored Arsenal's seven-point lead over chasers Manchester City and Aston Villa, both of whom won this weekend, but Mikel Arteta's side instead left the door open as they lost at home for the first time this season. Everything was going to plan for Arsenal when they took the lead in the 29th minute with a Lisandro Martinez own goal. But a terrible mistake by Martin Zubimendi in the 37th minute gifted United an equaliser -- the Spaniard passing straight to Bryan Mbeumo who finished in style. Dorgu then smashed a ferocious shot in off the crossbar to put United ahead in the 50th minute only for substitute Mikel Merino to prod the hosts level in the 84th minute. United were not finished though and Cunha curled home from 25 metres three minutes later to the joy of the visiting fans. Arsenal, who are now winless in three league games, have 50 points from 23 games with City and Villa on 46. United moved fourth with 38 points.
