Diaby keen to forget 'silly mistake'
The Gunners looked on course for an impressive victory over the reigning Premier League champions when Andrey Arshavin's long-range strike handed them a 1-0 interval lead in Manchester.
But after the break Wayne Rooney netted from the penalty spot before an own goal from Diaby gave United a 2-1 victory.
The French midfielder was unchallenged when he headed a Ryan Giggs free-kick past goalkeeper Manuel Almunia.
Diaby said in The Sun: "I have to forget it. I made a silly mistake and it's difficult to explain what happened.
"The goalkeeper called out to me to leave the ball, but it's all my fault.
"Even when I look back at the images I ask myself what happened, and I tell myself that it's just not possible.
"I was so wound up and soon after I rushed my shot because I didn't apply myself properly."
Diaby, though, is hopeful this could turn out to be a key season in his career at Arsenal, having struggled for regular fitness and form in the past.
He added: "It could be the right year for Arsenal.
"I hope to play in a more central position. I prefer our 4-3-3 system as I don't play in a wide role."
