'I won't have the time Arteta had' - Ruben Amorim's subtle dig at Gunners boss
Manchester United host Arsenal in today’s headline Premier League game as the two old rivals clash at Old Trafford with their own reasons behind needing to win.
Ruben Amorim’s side are in a terrible run of form, languishing in the bottom half of the table with almost no chance of finishing in a European spot. Added to their struggles is a growing injury list which includes Luke Shaw, Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo, but victory today would provide a much-needed boost.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are hoping to keep challenging for the league title despite their hopes gradually fading with each passing week. The Gunners are 16 points behind league leaders Liverpool, with two games in hand, and know they cannot afford to drop any more if they hope to pull off a shock triumph.
4 min: Merino drops deep, turns and tries to chip a pass to Declan Rice bursting into the box, but it’s just overhit.
A moment later United get in a bit of a muddle trying to pass out from the back, and Onana needs to jump on the ball in order to stop Merino from getting a free shot in the area.
