Mikel Arteta verdict on Ruben Amorim meeting
As Arsenal prepare for their clash with Manchester United, there will be a moment for Mikel Arteta to reunite with Ruben Amorim.
The new United boss has faced off with the Gunners manager once before, with the Europa League putting his Sporting CP side up against the north London outfit.
Two draws played out, requiring extra time and penalties, which the Portuguese manager came out on top in.
Arteta was asked about possible revenge upon meeting Amorim again in his pre-match press conference, though he wasn’t too keen to go as far as calling for revenge.
He said: “Not revenge, football is about another opportunity. It’s another game it’s going to be very different to the past, we played against Sporting a few weeks ago and it was very different to before, it has no meaning.”

Chris Sutton makes Arsenal vs Man United prediction
Ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United, plenty of predictions have come flooding in for how the match may pan out.
Among those is pundit Chris Sutton, a former Premier League striker who has been conducting the predictions for the BBC.
Looking ahead to the game for BBC Sport, Sutton predicted: “We have seen some classic games between these teams down the years, but Arsenal are a long way ahead of United, especially now Odegaard is back – he has taken them to the levels we were expecting from them all season.
“It would be a real eye-opener if United go to Emirates Stadium and get something, but I can’t see it. Arsenal have scored a lot of goals in the past week and that should continue here. They will win, and win well. 3-1.”
