Mikel Arteta’s remarks reveal a significant change in Manchester United’s performance and resilience following their match against Arsenal.
Manchester: So, after the match, Mikel Arteta was pretty shocked that Arsenal didn’t win. He felt they dominated the game but just couldn’t get the result they wanted.
On the flip side, Manchester United showed some serious grit. Even with just ten players for over an hour, they kept pushing and didn’t give up. It’s like a whole new team since Ruben Amorim took over.
When he first joined, United looked lost, like they were ready to throw in the towel. But now, just a couple of months later, they’re starting to find their feet. They went from being expected to lose to Newcastle to holding their own against big teams like Arsenal and Liverpool.
After the draw with Liverpool, Amorim emphasized the need for his players to really dig deep and run hard. He noticed how exhausted Liverpool players were at the end, and he wants that same level of effort from his squad.
Sure, the upcoming match against Southampton will be a real test, but you can’t overlook how United fought back after conceding a goal while down a man. That’s a big deal!
When Amorim first faced Arsenal, they lost 2-0. Fast forward six weeks, and they managed to beat the same team, even with a player down. That’s some serious progress!
Arteta’s right; it’s wild that United pulled off that win. They were under so much pressure, but their determination kept them in the game and alive in the FA Cup.
It’s clear that things are changing for the better at United.
