Manchester United won’t give me the time Mikel Arteta had at Arsenal, says Ruben Amorim

Arsenal travel to Old Trafford on Sunday in the Premier League (16:30 GMT) and face a United side without a number of key players including long-term absentees Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount.

Amorim said it was unlikely any other injured players would return for Sunday, but did raise hopes that Amad Diallo could be back before the end of the season.

“I think it is just Amad [who is out long-term],” said Amorim.

“Even Amad, we will see the end of the last month [of the season].

“I have the hope to have Amad before, we will see.

“Kobbie [Mainoo] can return. [Harry] Maguire, we have to be careful, Manuel [Ugarte] will return, and I think Mason [Mount] and Luke Shaw can return also.”

Arsenal beat PSV Eindhoven 7-1 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday, while United managed a 1-1 draw away at Real Sociedad two days later.

Despite being Europe’s secondary competition, Amorim says playing in the Europa League impacts Premier League form more than the Champions League.

“In the beginning people talked about our rotation in Europe. We were changing all the time and it is because of this,” said Amorim.

“Europa is so much harder than Champions League. Not the games, but the recovery to play Premier League on the weekend. We have to deal with that.”
