Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Manchester United will be a different proposition in Sunday's FA Cup third-round clash as a result of extra training time with Ruben Amorim.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta often comes under criticism for not signing prolific attackers. The Spaniard took charge of the Gunners just over five years ago. He has done a lot of good work on and off the pitch and has completely transformed the club.

Mikel Arteta has conceded that Arsenal have not spent as much on forwards as their rivals but says that bringing in an extra body is not guaranteed to improve the squad. Arsenal have failed to score or scored only once in 13 out of their 30 matches in all competitions this season and passed up several opportunities against Newcastle in the first-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle.

The Gunners have struggled to turn chances into goals, leading to suggestions they should invest in a new striker.

Combining with Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, the pair terrorised defences in Germany on the way to winning the tournament. Arsenal, along with Chelsea and a host of other sides, were already tracking him before that but were left with little choice but to sit up and pay massive attention to his demands after his performances.

Mikel Arteta says there is a possibility that Arsenal could be active in the transfer market this month, but only if it is to bring in a player who can make an immediate impact in the first team. The Gunners are trying to hunt down Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table,
