Saka fell awkwardly down the steep slope behind the Old Trafford goal and clattered into the hoardings.

He came back onto the pitch but then slumped to the ground and was substituted after 82 minutes.

Seeing Saka limp off was a concern for Arsenal, who ensured the title race will go down to the final day by beating United.

Saka was a fitness concern before the game after he sustained a gash to his left leg in last weekend’s 3-0 win against Bournemouth.

But when Arteta was asked about Saka after the United game, he said: “Yeah, he should be fine.”
