Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said signs of Ruben Amorim's impact on Manchester United is "very clear" ahead of Wednesday night's Premier League meeting between the two clubs.

Amorim was appointed as United head coach last month and oversaw his second win from his first three matches on Sunday afternoon, leading his side to a 4-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford.

That triumph followed last Thursday night's 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, meaning United will make the trip to the Emirates Stadium with confidence flowing through their veins.

Amorim, who was not happy with every aspect of his side's display against the Toffees, has wasted no time in changing United's formation, immediately installing his preferred 3-4-3 system. Benefits of it have been on show in each of his first three games in charge.

Arteta, who has previously faced Amorim twice in his managerial career, believes the new United boss has made it crystal clear what he plans to do at Old Trafford.

"Well, you can see his fingerprints [on the club], you know what he wants to do straight away, I think he's been very clear," Arteta told the media.

"He's been very successful with Sporting, it's remarkable after so many years what he achieved there, especially in the way he did it and the way his teams have been playing.

"He brings energy to the club, to the players, new ideas and that's always something that's positive but we have to focus on what we have to do."

United will travel to the Emirates Stadium looking to reduce the gap to the top four. Amorim's men are currently four points shy of the Champions League places and Arteta insists nothing can be ruled out at this stage of the season.

Arteta added: "It's still very early in the season. Any team that has the capacity to put five or six wins in a row is going to be up there.

"Because it's so tough and you see every week how all the teams are struggling to maintain winning, winning and winning. So I think anything is possible."
