Ahead of his team’s match against Arsenal, Manchester United manager Ruben said that he would not have as much time to change the club’s fortunes like which was afforded to Mikel Arteta after the Spaniard joined the London club in 2019. Arteta, who has transformed the Gunners into a squad which is capable of a title challenge, just has a FA Cup in his trophy cabinet. “I will not have the time that Arteta had. I feel that [Arsenal] is a different club,” Amorim said. “It is a different club, in that aspect, the way how Arteta dealt with that [the issues] is an inspiration for everybody,” he added. Arsenal are currently placed second in the Premier League table with a gap of 13 points with leaders Liverpool. The Gunner, however have a game in hand. United, meanwhile, are 14th.

Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy was left fuming after Manchester United’s Harry Maguire scored a late controversial goal which dumped the Foxes out of the FA Cup. “We are not defeated in Fergie time, we are defeated in offside time,” Nistelrooy said after the match. Television replays showed Maguire appeared to be offside, but the linesman did not raise his flag and VAR is not used in the FA Cup until the fifth round. “(VAR) wasn’t necessary.

We deserved to go into extra time and go for the battle in extra time and maybe penalties,” the former Dutch forward said.

Joshua Zirkzee scored the winning penalty for 10-man Manchester United against Arsenal after their hectic FA Cup third round tie finished 1-1 after extra time at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Arsenal’s Kai Havertz was the only one of the first four penalty takers to miss, denied by a brilliant stop from Altay Bayindir, before Zirkzee – booed off in a defeat by Newcastle United last month – stepped up to win the shootout 5-3. After an underwhelming first half, United took the lead in the 52nd minute through Bruno Fernandes’ curling effort from just inside the box after a great run by Alejandro Garnacho. Cool. Calm.
