The home side's delirious fans mocked Arsene Wenger with chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning" as Wayne Rooney walked off with the matchball, having scored his 150th Red Devils goal, then adding two more after half-time to complete his hat-trick.
Yet Rooney's efforts did not even account for half of United's staggering tally as they scored eight for the first time since 1999.
Danny Welbeck, Ashley Young, Nani and Park Ji-sung also found the net before Young completed the rout with his second.
It was Arsenal's worst ever defeat against United and the first time they have conceded eight in a league game since 1896.
Update - Mon 29th Aug
Such was the sense of contrition at Arsenal on Monday that around 3,000 fans who traveled to Old Trafford were told they would be offered the compensation of having a future away match ticket paid for.
