I don't think he handled the ball, but I do think he pushed the defender.
The GK was at fault for the goal IMO. Surely, he realized that he is allowed to use hand!

Anyway, Man U do have a long list injury layoff so the current form probably isnt indicative of their ability. Nonetheless, I have serious doubts whether they can be a legitimate cotender in CL and EPL.
For Arsenal, they playing soccer of different planet. Everything seems so easy. And Jose Antonio Reyes, WOW, he seems to have another Thierry Henry in making. He made such a hard finish look easy, and some of the goals he is scoring is just breath taking. Nonehtheless, I'll make a brave prediction that Arsenal peaked too early, and they will fail to win both EPL and CL. I always believe that defence is more consistent than attack, and if you don't concede goal, you will always pick up a point. They will be at times when Gunners attack won't be at full throttle, and I can't see Arsenal with their shabby defence getting too much points in those games. Chelsea looks solid ATM, and though I would hate to see arrogant Mourinho, and Abramhovic winning, I think they have a good chances of upsetting Arsenal.
