Manchester United fans have identified a key moment that highlights how Ruben Amorim has transformed the team’s mentality.
On Sunday afternoon, the Red Devils delivered an impressive performance against Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup at the Emirates Stadium.
Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring for United, but Gabriel Magalhaes equalized, leading to a tense match that remained level after 120 minutes.
Ultimately, Kai Havertz missed a vital penalty in the shootout, allowing United to advance to the fourth round.
After the match, fans pointed to a specific moment in the closing stages as proof of Amorim’s influence on the team’s mindset. During stoppage time, United players were seen sprinting back to defend after Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya caught a free kick and initiated a counter-attack. Players such as Matthijs de Ligt, Toby Collyer, Amad Diallo, and Joshua Zirkzee were all giving their maximum effort to regain defensive positions.
Fans praised this display of determination on social media. One said, “YES! This is the clip I’ve been looking for. 90+1, and every single United player immediately started sprinting back to defend the moment Raya got the ball. This is a proper team fighting to win. Amorim has completely changed the mentality.”
Another tweeted, “Something shifted after the Newcastle loss. We’ve looked like a different team ever since.”
A third fan commented, “This is the big difference in football under Amorim compared to before.”
Others expressed optimism, with one writing, “If we maintain this attitude, we’ll return to greatness,” and another adding, “This is what we see in all great teams. Amorim is taking us there.”
With their victory over Arsenal, United now prepare for a fourth-round tie against Leicester City at Old Trafford.
