MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE BARELY IMPROVED SINCE RUBEN AMORIM REPLACED ERIK TEN HAG AT OLD TRAFFORD AND SOME INTERESTING COMMENTS ABOUT MIKEL ARTETA MAY INDICATE WHAT HE HAS TO DO 07:00, 09 Mar

2025 Ruben Amorim appealed for Mikel Arteta to be given time at Arsenal - two years before he found himself embroiled in a Manchester United crisis. The Portuguese head coach was appointed

as Erik ten Hag’s replacement at Old Trafford in November. But it has been a miserable spell at the club so far. He has won just 11 out of his 24 games so far - with just five of those

successes coming in the Premier League. It leaves the Red Devils sitting 14th in the table ahead of this weekend’s clash with Arsenal. But Amorim might well look to his opposite number

established Arsenal as bonafide Premier League title challengers, while they look set to progress in the Champions League. The under-pressure United boss now finds himself in a similar

position having underwhelmed with the Red Devils so far. And he issued an almost identical comment earlier this season as United fell to a 2-0 defeat to Arteta’s Arsenal. He said:

"You're constantly learning. It's very hard, but you have to take the positives and the negatives, just like any other game. _WHAT'S GONE WRONG WITH MAN UNITED THIS

stadium full of our fans. We need a little time." Arteta and Amorim will renew rivalries this weekend as Man United and Arsenal face off at Old Trafford. A win would only likely carry

the former one place up the Premier League table, with European football still some way off. Article continues below But Arsenal could cut the gap to Liverpool with three points. Arteta’s

side find themselves 13 points behind the Reds, with another adverse result likely ending their title challenge once and for all. Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community _and receive your
