Neither Sir Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger were involved in the fixture for the first time since 1986, but the former was in the stands for an encounter as entertaining as some of the memorable clashes during their Premier League duopoly.
Anthony Martial levelled shortly after David De Gea's uncharacteristic mistake saw Shkodran Mustafi open the scoring in the first half at Old Trafford, where Jesse Lingard secured a 2-2 draw just 75 seconds after substitute Alexandre Lacazette squeezed Arsenal back into the lead.
It was a frantic, and at times feisty, encounter at Old Trafford, which saw Emery's Arsenal rack up a 20th unbeaten game in all competitions as another winless league match leaves United off the pace in the top-four hunt.

GOAL! Everton 0-1 Newcastle (Salomon Rondon, 19 minutes)
A surprising away opener for Newcastle, too.
Salomon Rondon is found brilliantly by Jacob Murphy at the far post and makes no mistake with the finish.
Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal, 8 minutes
Not much to talk about at Old Trafford since the home team had the early advantage.
The Arsenal fans are having their say.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Southampton (Harry Kane, 9 minutes)
Christian Eriksen to Harry Kane...
Spurs lead!
A simple finish for Kane, who made an excellent run to the near post to latch onto Eriksen's low cross after a short corner.
Burnley 0-0 Liverpool, 23 minutes
Joe Gomez has pulled up lame and won't be able to continue.
Trent Alexander-Arnold replaces his fellow England international at right back. A worry for Gomez and Liverpool fans.
Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal, 13 minutes
It is still the home team on top at Old Trafford.
Diogo Dalot and Matteo Damian are pushing on from wing back, with Marcos Rojo in particular comfortable sliding wider at left centre back.
Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal, 15 minutes
Alex Iwobi gets in behind Eric Bailly and earns a corner.
Lucas Torreira to deliver from the left...
It is in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's direction but Matteo Darmian does enough to put him off. A fair bit of jostling between the pair as the ball hung in the air.
Burnley 0-0 Liverpool, 29 minutes
Virgil Van Djik rises highest to meet a corner but can only find the safe hands of Joe Hart in the Burnley goal.
Joe Gomez was stretchered off earlier after colliding with the advertising boards at the side of the pitch. Some talk that it may be his ankle.
Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal, 20 minutes
Better from Arsenal.
Sead Kolasinac gets in behind Diogo Dalot but crosses straight to Chris Smalling, who should clear easily.
Smalling completely misses his hack at the ball, however, and Arsenal can reload and attack again.
The ball comes to Hector Bellerin on the edge of the area but the Spaniard's effort is poor.
GOAL! Everton 1-1 Newcastle (RIcharlison, 37 minutes)
Everton are level through their brilliant Brazilian.
Richarlison profits from a corner, which came about after Martin Dubravka was forced into an outstanding save to turn an effort behind.
Richarlison did well to finish that chance off. A kiss of the badge in celebration.
