Arsenal's Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (centre) celebrates with teammates after scoring the opening goal from the penalty spot during thir English Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford in Manchester, north west England, on November 1, 2020.
But Solskjaer would have been content just to get to half-time on level terms as Willian struck the bar for the visitors after a well-worked one-two with Aubameyang before Bukayo Saka headed the best chance of the half over the bar.
Arsenal continued to pose the greater threat after the break as Aubameyang curled wide the sort of half-chance he has made his speciality from the edge of the box before the outstanding Thomas Partey stung the palms of David de Gea.
