New footage shows Ruben Amorim’s confidence in his players before their FA Cup win over Arsenal in a thrilling penalty shootout
The game was intense! United played really well, especially after going down a man. They managed to keep it tied at 1-1, which was no small feat. The Gunners seemed to have the upper hand, but United’s defense held strong.
When it came time for penalties, both Amorim and Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta had a moment to rally their teams. In the footage, you can see Amorim giving instructions while the players huddled around him, really focused on what he had to say.
But here’s the twist: halfway through, Amorim just walks back to the bench, leaving the players to chat among themselves. That’s not what you usually see from coaches, who often want to use every second to strategize.
Turns out, that trust paid off! United scored all five of their penalties, while Altay Bayindir saved one from Kai Havertz. This win means they’re moving on to face Leicester City in the next round of the FA Cup. What a match!
