City had thrown down the gauntlet to United as Edin Dzeko scored four times to destroy Tottenham at White Hart Lane, but Sir Alex Ferguson's team emphasised their determination to hold onto the Premier League crown with a Wayne Rooney hat-trick reducing beleaguered Arsenal to rubble in a sublime display at Old Trafford.
Ferguson once again fielded a youthful line-up and his gifted prodigies rose to the occasion in impressive style to record their third successive win of the season and move ahead of second placed City on goal difference at the top of the table.

Manchester United's midfielder Nani (left) scores United's fifth goal of the English Premier League football match between United and Arsenal at Old Trafford in Manchester.Manchester United won the game 8-2.
"It was a combination of an under-strength team and weakness. We collapsed physically in the second half."
Ferguson added: "It is (a surprise) because when you play Arsenal you expect a difficult game.
"If you look at Arsenal the team is weakened but we still did the job."
Danny Welbeck opened the scoring with a close-range header in the 22nd minute after Johan Djourou failed to clear Anderson's chipped pass and Arsenal squandered a chance to level when Robin van Persie's penalty, awarded for a Jonny Evans foul on Theo Walcott, was saved by David De Gea.
Within a minute, Ashley Young had made Arsenal pay with a brilliant curling goal from the edge of the area and Rooney increased the lead when he whipped a 41st minute free-kick past Wojciech Szczesny for his 150th United goal.
Walcott's low drive escaped De Gea's weak attempted save to reduce the deficit on the stroke of half-time, but United scored a fourth through another tremendous Rooney free-kick in the 62nd minute.
Nani's deft chip over Szczesny in the 67th minute made it five and South Korea's Park Ji-Sung drove in United's sixth goal three minutes later.
Van Persie scored from close-range in the 74th minute, but Gunners defender Carl Jenkinson was sent off for two bookings moments later.
United hadn't finished yet and Rooney completed his treble with an 82nd minute penalty before Young curled home in stoppage time.

The powerful blast wrecked the bottom floor of the building. Dozens have been injured, some critically.
A UN official in Nigeria, who spoke to the BBC on condition of anonymity, said the UN had received information last month that it could be targeted by Islamist group Boko Haram.
Security was stepped up in response.
A car bombing at police headquarters in June was blamed on Boko Haram, a group which wants the establishment of Sharia law in Nigeria.
There has been no claim of responsibility for Friday's attack, but government officials have blamed "terrorists" for the bombing, says the BBC's Bashir Sa'ad Abdullahi, who is at the site of the explosion.
Witnesses said the blast happened when a car rammed the front of the building after crashing through two security barriers.
Nigeria's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Viola Onwuliri, told the BBC she had visited the building and seen "the shock on people's faces".
"This is not an attack on Nigeria but on the global community," she said. "An attack on the world."
The building is the UN's main office in Nigeria, where all its agencies are based, the unnamed UN official told the BBC.
The official said security had been increased at all UN offices in Nigeria following the intelligence warning of a possible attack.
'Scattered bodies'
Friday's attack took place at about 1100 local time (1000 GMT) in the diplomatic zone in the centre of the city, close to the US embassy.
There was a loud explosion and smoke billowed from the building following Friday's powerful blast, which shattered all the glass in the building.
Our correspondent said the ground floor of the building was badly damaged and he saw the emergency services removing dead bodies from the building while a number of wounded were rushed to hospital.
One UN staff member said that people may still be trapped in the building, the AFP news agency reported.
"I saw scattered bodies," Michael Ofilaje, a Unicef worker at the building, said according to the Associated Press news agency (AP).
"Many people are dead."
He said it felt like "the blast came from the basement and shook the building".
Local hospitals are said to be overwhelmed with the number of injured and have appealed for blood donations.
Police have sealed off the area.

"Hustler are in possession of the Rihanna and J-Cole tape," said a rep for the adult company. "We have seen it and we do not know what we are going to do with it yet."J-Cole opened for Rihanna on her 2011 Loud tour and in turn she made a cameo in his music video, Can't Get Enough.
She stated that most of the movies churned out of the industry lacked technical depths, especially when the films are compared to other films produced in the developed countries.

Erewa who was one of the special guests at a press parley to announce the commencement of this year's film making workshop organised by the Del-York International in partnership with the New York Film Academy, NYFA, stated that film making was all about quality.
" The capacity, the technical quality is what we are talking about. All of us here know that we have problem with the quality of our films."
While commending the initiative, the House member expressed hope that the collaboration between Del- York and NYFA, would help to solve the problem of technical quality thereby improving the quality of film productions in Nigeria. According to her, the initiative would empower and create numerous career opportunities for Nigerians.
She however, used the occasion to call on the state governments, federal ministries, particularly, the Ministry of Youths and Sports Development and other corporate organisations and individuals to support one or two talents by paying their tuition during the training.
The four-week film making training workshop kicked off, on Monday, August 15 through September 10, 2011 at the newly renovated Apata Memorial School, Isolo. It is the second annual edition of a five-year collaboration between the two organisations.
It will be recalled that the inaugural training program was held in March 2010, when Del-York and NYFA successfully hosted and trained 400 African students in Abuja, with supports from the Rivers State Government and the Niger Delta Development Commission. Out of these graduates, 122 are now gainfully employed in the entertainment sector.
The Managing Director/CEO of Del-York International, Mr Linus Idahosa said the face of film making in Africa was taking a new shape, as there is the need for aspiring filmmakers to be better equipped with the knowledge of telling the African story beautifully imperative
