Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United head to Arsenal on Wednesday night as they look to make it consecutive league wins.
They come off the back of a 4-0 win against Everton in what was Ruben Amorim‘s first Premier League win as United boss since he joined in the November international break.
United now sit ninth in the Premier League and just four points off the top four places which is impressive considering the poor start under Erik Ten Hag.

United face an Arsenal side who are looking for their fourth consecutive win in all competitions as they aim to catch up to league leaders Liverpool. The Gunners come off a 5-2 win against West Ham at the weekend which put the Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui’s job under threat.
Amorim will be pleased that his side are getting fitter and fitter in terms of injury problems as Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw both returned against Everton on Sunday.
Victor Lindelof is the only player to be ruled out for Wednesday night as there is a chance that summer signing Leny Yoro could make his long awaited debut.
Ruben Amorim said on Monday: “We have one more training session… maybe Leny Yoro is going to be in the squad. I felt he’s in a good moment now, his fitness is better. I think he is a special talent, but we have to be careful in this first moment.”
