A freezing morning greeted the media at Carrington today, as sub-zero temperatures set the stage for Ruben Amorim’s pre-match conference ahead of Manchester United’s highly anticipated showdown with Arsenal this Sunday.
The United manager struck an optimistic tone following last weekend’s thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield. The clash with Liverpool had everything a football fan could ask for, and for Amorim and captain Bruno Fernandes, the question looms large: “Where has this form been all season?”
As United prepare to meet an Arsenal side still smarting from a Carabao Cup first-leg defeat to Newcastle, momentum will be key. However, Mikel Arteta’s men will likely target United’s vulnerabilities on set-pieces—an area that proved costly in last month’s encounter, which handed Amorim his first loss to Arsenal.

Off the field, speculation over Marcus Rashford’s future remains a hot topic. Reports continue to link the United star with a loan move to AC Milan, while his representatives have been seen in Spain. Could West Ham swoop in with a cheeky bid? Expect Amorim to face questions about the local lad whose potential departure has sparked widespread debate.
Meanwhile, Casemiro’s future also hangs in the balance. The 32-year-old Brazilian is rumored to be considering a move to Saudi Arabia. The press pack is buzzing with anticipation—could this be a farewell to one of United’s midfield pillars? Amorim’s insights on both transfer sagas are sure to dominate headlines.
With Arsenal looming and transfer whispers swirling, this promises to be a fascinating week for Manchester United fans and football pundits alike.
