The Gunners are set to host the Red Devils at the Emirates Stadium in tonight’s big midweek Premier League clash, and it means a first meeting between Mikel Arteta and Ruben Amorim.
Amorim has only just started as Man Utd manager, but there’s no doubt the team have improved since sacking Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag’s final game was a 2-1 loss to West Ham, and that came at the end of a run of just one win from eight games in all competitions.
Since then, however, United have, under both Amorim and interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, gone unbeaten, winning five and drawing two out of seven games.

“For sure, I think we know that when a new manager comes, it changes a lot and I think the players are excited as well,” Havertz is quoted by the Evening Standard.
