Jose Mourinho would undoubtedly have been the happier manager at the break but whatever his opposite number, Arsene Wenger, said to his charges in the dressing room clearly worked as Alexandre Lacazette found the net from close range just four minutes after half-time.
It was akin to two boxers agreeing to meet in the centre of the ring to slug it out. When one team's players would take a break to catch their breath, the opposition would swarm.
Lingard netted his second of his game with what might well have been the easiest finish of his career and the action-packed nature of the match was a welcome reminder that not all meetings of the so-called big sides have to be cagey encounters nowadays.
Pundits had suggested that Mourinho would have set his side up to frustrate the free-flowing football of the Gunners at the Emirates but he did anything but.
It was an incredibly enthralling 90 minutes of football and fans couldn't help but be reminded of the famous battles of years gone by, when Arsenal vs. United was the fixture that everybody looked forward to.
Pogba's sending off with 15 minutes remaining provided the kind of bite that was once an annual guarantee from Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira.
The whole game was like the footballing equivalent to Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots and delivered plenty of entertainment value to the neutrals watching from home.
