This is Arsenal's third competition that they failed to qualify in the span of less than two weeks. Their remaining tournament will be at the Barclay Premier League which they hoped to emerge victorious after a six year draught.
Manchester United Wayne Rooney was in his best form for this game. He was playing with such gusto and with brilliance play-making that the fans are waiting to see all season, but was absent.
Manchester's Brazilian twins Rafael and Fabio were full of excitement to be able play side by side. Fabio's goal, his second goal from Manchester, was created by passing to Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez.
One of the most memorable performance and highlight of the game was that of Manchester United goalie Edwin van der Sar. The 41 year old was consistent and provided several important saves that he became the valuable player for Manchester. Van der Sar will surely fill a big gap to Manchester United defense next season.
Manchester will be playing in the Champions league's last 16 against Marseille with confidence. Antonio Valecia will also give additional fire power for Manchester United. He played for 45 minutes for the first time as a substitute, after a broken ankle sidelined him since September.
