Premier League 2 | Leigh Sports Village | Scorers: Nelson 33, Da Silva 38
Reiss Nelson and Josh Da Silva scored free-kicks inside five first-half minutes as Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-0 in Premier League 2.
Luke Shaw played the full 90 minutes at centre-half for the Reserves, his third successive outing in an attempt to regain full fitness, but Ricky Sbragia's side were unable to bounce back from defeat in the last fixture at Tottenham.
The Gunners could have been ahead inside 30 seconds but Nelson missed a glorious chance, with the visitors soon getting on top.
