United Kingdom, – Manchester United have already faced Arsenal twice in 2024/25 – three times, if you include last summer’s pre-season friendly in Los Angeles.
Both competitive clashes have come at the Emirates Stadium, with the club from the capital winning December’s reverse league fixture 2-0, before United avenged that defeat by coming out on top in January’s dramatic Emirates FA Cup third-round tie on penalties, following a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes.
Bruno Fernandes had put Amorim’s side ahead before Diogo Dalot’s 61st-minute red card was almost instantly followed by Gabriel’s equaliser for the Gunners.
Playing with 10 men for the remaining hour or so, the Reds battled hard and, after Altay Bayindir saved Martin Odegaard’s penalty in normal time, our Turkey international goalkeeper kept out Havertz’s effort in the shootout as we prevailed 5-3 on penalties.
End.
