Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim claimed that his team managed to unsettle Arsenal by exposing a hidden tactic. However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta quickly dismissed Amorim’s comments, insisting that there was no hidden tactic at play.
Amorim felt that his team’s disciplined defensive strategy successfully disrupted Arsenal’s rhythm in the first half. He highlighted a specific approach that he believed unsettled the Gunners, although he did not provide detailed specifics. “We managed to unsettle them with our tactics,” Amorim said post-match.
In response, Arteta rubbished Amorim’s claim, stating that there was no hidden tactic and that Arsenal simply executed their game plan effectively. “We played our football, and we were clinical in our set pieces,” Arteta countered. “There was nothing secretive about our approach.”
Despite Amorim’s efforts, Arsenal managed to break the deadlock in the second half, scoring twice from corner kicks to secure a 2-0 victory. The win was a testament to Arsenal’s ability to capitalize on set pieces, a strength that has been a hallmark of their season so far.
