Arsenal will look to secure the third spot in the Premier League after playing out a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at the Old Trafford on Sunday, having already confirmed their place in the next season's Champions League.

Ander Herrera gave Manchester United the lead in the 30th minute of a low intensity match, with Arsenal unable to manage a single shot on target in the first half, the BBC reported.

The Gunners finally came to life in the closing stages of the match and leveled when substitute Theo Walcott's deflected cross in the 82nd minute provided Arsene Wenger's team with the equaliser.

Meanwhile, with Liverpool losing against Crystal Palace on Saturday, Manchester United will return to Europe's elite competition after a gap of one year.
