Manchester United’s Road to Emirates FA Cup Glory
Manchester United will face Arsenal in a high-stakes Emirates FA Cup third-round clash on Sunday. The match, kicking off at 15:00 GMT, marks the beginning of United’s title defense after lifting the trophy at Wembley last May.
The Reds are coming off a spirited 2-2 draw against Liverpool, a performance filled with determination and grit. Fans will expect similar qualities as the team battles Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed during Friday’s press conference that Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will start in goal. Amorim hinted at potential changes in the lineup, continuing his trend of rotation since taking the reins at Old Trafford.
