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.

Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 42 minutes
Nemanja Matic hauls back an Arsenal player looking to counter.
You know the drill.
Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 45 minutes
Aaron Ramsey slides in on Matic and has taken a knock to the leg.
Arsenal have already lost Rob Holding to injury tonight and Ramsey is another in bother.
Fortunately for Unai Emery, Ramsey (with a grimace) trudges to the halfway line and will continue.
Three added minutes.
Half time at Wembley. Spurs have a 1-0 lead thanks to Harry Kane's ninth minute opener.
Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 45 + 2 minutes
Aaron Ramsey has rejoined the action, but he's not moving smoothly. A half time change may be required, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan is warming up.
The second halves have started in the four earlier games.
An early penalty appeal for Chelsea at Wolves, but not given. What does the second 45 have in store?
Burnley 0-0 Liverpool, 47 minutes
Joe Hart is tested soon after the resumption, Daniel Sturridge stinging his palms with a strong effort.
Good stop from Hart.
Burnley 0-0 Liverpool, 52 minutes
Another excellent save from Hart. This time it is Naby Keita forcing the Burnley keeper into action.
Liverpool pressing for an opening goal.
GOAL! Burnley 1-0 Liverpool (Jack Cork, 54 minutes)
But the hosts lead!
Jack Cork stabs home from the clutches of Alisson, who fumbled after a Burnley corner.
An argument could be made that the Brazilian had both hands on the ball, and there may have been an offside in the build up, but the goal stands and Burnley have the lead against the run of play.
