This is according to Ruben Amorim as he provides a shocking update on Amad’s injury and confirms four Manchester United players will miss the Arsenal match.

Rúben Amorim has revealed that Manchester United will be without four key players for their FA Cup third-round encounter against Arsenal, with another player’s availability still uncertain. The much-anticipated clash is set to take place at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, as both teams aim to progress in their pursuit of silverware this season.

Arsenal, recovering from a recent 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, will be eager to bounce back. Meanwhile, United, who have had additional time to prepare, come into the fixture on the back of a 2-2 Premier League draw with Liverpool.

Speaking to MUTV, Amorim provided an update on his squad’s condition ahead of the match. He confirmed that Victor Lindelöf remains unavailable and that Jonny Evans will also miss out. Amad Diallo is dealing with a minor issue, though there’s a chance he might recover in time to feature. Luke Shaw and Mason Mount are both making progress but are not expected to be fully fit for this game. Despite these setbacks, Amorim assured fans that the rest of the squad is fit and ready to compete.

The manager also addressed ongoing speculation about potential January signings, clarifying his stance on transfers. While not ruling out the possibility of new additions, Amorim emphasized that any incoming players must align with United’s playing style and philosophy. He stressed the importance of refining the club’s recruitment strategy and balancing risk with the development of homegrown talent.

Amorim expressed pride in the contributions of young players like Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, praising their progress and commitment. He reiterated his dedication to nurturing the existing squad and retaining players who embody the club’s values.

As United prepare for a challenging match against Arsenal, Amorim called on his team to maintain focus and give their all. With the lineup to be finalized closer to kickoff, the emphasis remains on hard work and discipline in training. Despite the injury concerns, United will aim to make a strong start in their FA Cup campaign against a determined Arsenal side.
