Manchester United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim, has expressed his determination to lead the club back to Premier League glory.

Amorim, who took the reins from Erik ten Hag during the November international break, knows the weight of expectation that comes with managing the iconic club.

Despite a recent setback in the Carabao Cup, he remains focused on bigger ambitions.

On Thursday night, United faced a tough 4-3 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, ending their Carabao Cup journey.

The match was a rollercoaster, with both teams fighting hard, but ultimately, it was Spurs who edged out the Red Devils.

This loss was disappointing for United fans, especially given the club’s history of success in domestic cup competitions.

However, Amorim isn’t dwelling on the defeat. For him, the real goal is clear: reclaiming the Premier League title.

Speaking after the game, the 39-year-old Portuguese coach emphasized the need for long-term progress rather than quick fixes.

“We can’t think winning silverware will fix everything. We are improving as a team,” he explained.

“Our goal is to win the Premier League. How long it will take, I don’t know.”

Amorim, who previously managed Sporting Lisbon and earned praise for his tactical skills and leadership, faces a tough challenge ahead. United’s current league position, 13th, is far from ideal.

They are six points away from the coveted fourth spot and a significant 14 points behind their fierce rivals and current league leaders, Liverpool.

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has urged Arsenal to make a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen when the transfer window opens in January.

Arsenal’s struggles with finding consistent attacking form have been a significant concern this season, with their inability to score from open play in their last four matches.

While the Gunners have shown strong defensive stability, their offensive challenges have limited their ability to keep pace with the top teams.

Currently, Mikel Arteta’s side sits in third place in the Premier League, trailing Liverpool and Chelsea, and their goal-scoring woes are becoming increasingly apparent.

Ferdinand, a well-known pundit and former England international, believes that a striker like Osimhen could be the key to reigniting Arsenal’s title aspirations.

The 24-year-old Nigerian forward has been in exceptional form for Napoli, known for his physicality, clinical finishing, and ability to lead the line in high-pressure situations.

Ferdinand highlighted Arsenal’s need for a proven number nine who can consistently make an impact on matches, stating, “You ain’t having a number nine that’s coming on impacting games.”
