Mikel Arteta will be desperate to return to winning ways when Arsenal lock horns with Manchester United. The Gunners will host the Red Devils at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, with a place in the FA Cup fourth round up for grabs.
Arsenal head into the heavyweight tie following a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday. Despite creating numerous opportunities to get back into the clash, the Magpies ended the north Londoners’ 13-game unbeaten streak across all competitions.
While Arteta puts his players through their paces in training, higher-ups will be working hard this month to bolster the Spaniard’s squad.
Bellingham makes shock decision
According to The Sun, Jobe Bellingham looks set to stay at Sunderland despite interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Borussia Dortmund. The report states that the 19-year-old midfielder, who has impressed in the Championship this season, could cost up to £20m.
It’s said that the Black Cats are determined to hold onto Bellingham as they look to secure promotion to the Premier League. The Sun add that the teenager, who sees his contract expire in June 2028, would prefer to leave his homeland and join a top European club – just like his brother, Jude, did in 2020.
