Ruben Amorim shares what Arsenal did which actually helped Man Utd ‘a lot’ in 1-1 draw
Manchester United and Arsenal played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Two excellent goals by Bruno Fernandes and Declan Rice ensured the points were shared between the Red Devils and the Gunners, on a day where Ruben Amorim witnessed a much improve🌺d display from his side – compared to their recent level of performa🃏nce, at least.
Manchester United almost stole all three points in the final stages – but foﷺr two excellent stops by David 🐷Raya and a vital challenge from Rice.
What a tackle from Declan Rice 💪

The Red Devils certainly had their chances to win – and Amorim believes Arsenal did something which “helped” 👍Manchester United create opportunities as the game went on.
Ruben Amorim says Arsenal’s sense of adventure helped Manchester United
Speaking to Sport after the final whistle,൲ the man born in Lisbon suggested Arsenal’s desire to push for a winne💯r actually helped Manchester United and Alejandro Garnacho in particular, as space opened up.
Amorim said: “It h♐elps🐻 when you score a goal and don’t suffer – you can feel the energy in the stadium.
“In this moment, we try to win games, be compact. We were so near in the second half to score a goal. We were really competitive and I think that is important.꧋ We pushed forward and not back. We had some situations to win the game. Arsenal put a lot of men inside the box to ꦐwin – and I think Alejandro Garnacho did a complete game – and that helped us a lot.”
Manchester United still have a problem which Arsenal helped to conceal
Manchester United deserve credit for putting up a fight against Arsenal – although 💮the problem of breaking down sides who come🔯 to Old Trafford and sit back remains.
Amorim, who once rejected Tottenham, sounded delighted by the fact Arsenal desperately pushed forward and looked to win – a tactic which even Mikel Arteta admitted nearly pushed Manchester United towards victory – but issues remain against the smalleꦅr sides.
For instance, the likes of Crystaꦆl Palace, Brighton, Nottingham Forest,🌠 Newcastle and Bournemouth have won at Old Trafford this season, while Southampton – who sit bottom on nine points – almost earned a result before Amad Diallo’s late hat-trick in January.
Hopefully, Amorim – who wants Geovany Quenda – can quickly figure out how to break down teams who sit back, or else Manchester Unitꦕed will contin✃ue to struggle.
