Arsene Wenger's Arsenal hit what must surely have been rock-bottom as they were pulverised 8-2 by a brutal Manchester United performance at Old Trafford

Manchester United inflicted total humiliation on Arsenal and Arsene Wenger with a rampant display at Old Trafford.

Arsenal's failure to act in the transfer market left them travelling to Manchester with a depleted squad. The makeshift starting XI was duly punished.

Scholes hit a fierce right-footed volley from just outside the box into the bottom right-hand corner. If you want a moment to sum up the class and quality of the former England midfielder, here it is.
