Ruben Amorim has confirmed that four Manchester United players will miss the upcoming FA Cup third-round clash against Arsenal due to injuries, while one player remains a potential returnee. The highly anticipated showdown will take place at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as both teams aim to secure silverware this season.
Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from their recent 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg. Meanwhile, United, who have had more time to prepare, come into the match after an intense 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the Premier League.
Speaking to MUTV, Amorim provided a concerning injury update ahead of the big game. “Victor Lindelof is still out, and Jonny Evans remains sidelined,” he revealed. “Amad has picked up a minor injury, but I believe he has a chance to recover. Luke Shaw is continuing his progress, and Mason Mount is also improving. The rest of the squad is fit and ready to compete.”
With four players confirmed to be unavailable and Amad’s participation uncertain, Amorim addressed speculation about possible signings in the January transfer window. “I don’t recall explicitly stating that I want new players,” he said. “What I did emphasize is the need to refine our recruitment strategy. Players should align with the demands of our system. Sometimes, you have to take calculated risks, but we must also nurture talent from our Academy.”
Amorim also highlighted his commitment to developing the squad. “Our priority is to retain our best players, particularly those we’ve built for this club. While we’re aware of the challenges the club faces, I’m incredibly proud of players like Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho. They’re improving and making valuable contributions.”
Looking ahead to the Arsenal clash, Amorim concluded, “Let’s stay focused on the game. The players are training hard, and we’ll make final decisions about the lineup soon. Right now, their priority should be giving their best in the next match.”
