Fans are concerned about the team’s chances at the Emirates Stadium, especially given Arsenal’s recent resurgence.
Ruben Amorim, United’s new manager, has been revitalizing the squad, but losing two critical players threatens their momentum in the race for a top-four finish.

Unfortunately, both players were booked during the match, eliminating them from contention for the high-stakes Arsenal game. Fans have voiced frustration, criticizing the lack of discipline, especially as the team was comfortably leading.

United, buoyed by their dominant performance against Everton, must navigate the challenge without two of their key players, a task that promises to test their depth and resilience.
