After a brilliant exchange of passes between Bruno Fernandes and Patrick Dorgu, the midfielder rifled in a volley in the 50th minute and United’s confidence was soaring.
Substitute Mikel Merino then fired Arsenal level from a corner kick late on.
However, Manchester United were not finished and substitute Matheus Cunha advanced before curling a right-foot shot past goalkeeper David Raya from 25 metres to spark wild celebrations in the visiting fans.
Arsenal looked for a way back into the contest with 7 minutes of added time, but Manchester United stood firm to defend its lead as the match finished 3-2.
Stunning second-half goals by Dorgu and Cunha earned United a first Premier League win at Arsenal since 2017 to loosen their grip on top spot.
Instead of restoring their seven-point lead, Arsenal’s first home defeat of the season in all competitions left them four points ahead of Manchester City and Aston Villa.
Arsenal, who are now three league games without a win, have 50 points from 23 games with City and Villa on 46 while a rejuvenated United are fourth with 38.
