Fàbregas, who left Arsenal for boyhood club Barcelona during the summer transfer window, saw the Gunners concede eight goals in a game for the first time in over 100 years, as United ran riot at Old Trafford.

But despite the defeat, the Spaniard still has faith Arsenal can resurrect their Premier League ambitions.

Fàbregas told El Mundo Deportivo: "I watched the match against Manchester United on television and it was difficult.

"I suffered during this match and especially because of the enormous rivalry between the clubs.

"But I am convinced that the squad will improve for the next matches."
