Ruben Amorim press conference live Manchester United updates ahead of Arsenal fixture

Ruben Amorim will speak to journalists on Friday ahead of Manchester United's game against Arsenal.

The misery of last season is firmly in the rear-view mirror at Old Trafford and Amorim is hoping to oversee major improvement in 2025/2026 after an encouraging pre-season this summer.

Amorim has been backed with the signings of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Diego Leon, and Sesko could make his debut against Arsenal this weekend.

Arsenal are looking to mount another Premier League title challenge and will pose a huge test for United on the opening day of the campaign. The Gunners drew 1-1 with United when they played at Old Trafford in March.

Amorim will address the media in the revamped press conference room at Carrington for the first time, following a £50million makeover to create a world-class training complex.
