'There is going to be a different pressure' on United's next three gamespublished at 17:13 14 January
17:13 14 January
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton thinks there have been really encouraging signs at Manchester United, but "we're going to find a lot more about them in the next three games".
United have home three games in a week, starting with Southampton on Thursday, before Brighton and Rangers travel to Old Trafford.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, Sutton said: "They still haven't won a game in [their past] six 90 minutes - they won on penalties [against Arsenal] and drew at Liverpool.
"I'm pleased for Ruben Amorim. He's gone into Manchester United and tried to change a whole culture. It's really encouraging how they got over the line against Arsenal.
"But the next three games they're at home - and the last time they were at Old Trafford, Newcastle could have had any amount of goals. They demolished them.
"This is going to be a different pressure. Manchester United have to control and dictate games better. The expectation will be there to do that."

New York Times chief football correspondent Rory Smith thinks Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim now "knows his team" and that with the extra time on the training pitch, United have been able to see the benefits.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, Smith said: "There is no question now that the biggest difference is he now knows his team.
"There might be a bit of changing in the two behind Rasmus Hojlund, but he has figured out a way to get something out of that team.
"Short of major surgery which will have to wait until the summer, that will be what carries United through for the rest of the season.
"And, he's had time on the training pitch to work with them. That's really important."

Brian C asked: I'd like to know where Manchester United have got their past two top performances from. After all Ruben Amorim was so disarmingly honest a few weeks back saying "we've got such a long way to go!" Not that long it seems! What has made the difference?
Phil replied: Hi, Brian. I've been really impressed with Manchester United in their last two games. The sheer fight and determination has been outstanding, apart from all the other qualities.
I think we need to reserve judgement though, Brian, because even Bruno Fernandes has said it's OK doing it against Liverpool and Arsenal, but you have to do it every game.
Ruben Amorim said the club needed a "shock" and maybe his brutal honesty delivered it.
It is clear the players are playing for him and maybe they are now becoming more accustomed to his three-man central defensive strategy.
Let's not kid ourselves, though. Amorim still has a massive rebuilding job on his hands and two good results and performances do not change that.

Former Premier League midfielder Michael Brown says beating Arsenal "will build confidence" at Manchester United but he is cautious of people getting carried away with their small progress in recent weeks.
The Reds came into this game without a win in their previous five matches in the league, and Amorim will hope this is the start of a run of form that can get United going under his leadership.
"I don't want to give too much credit and I don't want to look too far into it because we've seen this Manchester United show promise before and slip back into their old ways," said Brown on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"We understand the manager, what he's trying to bring, the energy, the determination and the press.
"There are some good players at Manchester United who can score and who can cause problems. But when it is tough, that is when they fell away.
"The result will build confidence as it showed determination and the guts that is needed to get through like that. It's a start and it's something good.
Man Utd beat Arsenal on penalties - the fans' verdictpublished at 10:44 13 January

We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's FA Cup game between Arsenal and Manchester United.
Here are some of your comments:
Arsenal fans
Guy: Extremely disappointed by the loss. We have a lack of a killer instinct yet again. Another game where we had possession and shots but couldn't convert. It isn't unlucky at this stage - it's poor coaching, a poor team and poor player purchases in recent windows. Our front line is toothless without Bukayo Saka.
Dan: If that isn't Mikel Arteta's cue to either get into the transfer market for an attacker or leave, I don't know what is. Yet again, useless in the final third!
Jude: Laboured and uninspired performance. Now that Gabriel Jesus is injured, we cannot continue pretending to have a forward. Let's sell Kai Havertz and use the money on a striker who doesn't spend half the time crawling around.
Vince: I've been a staunch follower of Arteta's policy that eschews the need to splurge on a natural forward. This loss, and the one to Newcastle in the league cup, tell me I've been severely myopic, if not downright blind. We're still in the January transfer window and with Jesus sidelined for who knows how long, please go get that striker before the month ends and our hopes with it.
Andy: Grit. Determination. Desire. All we want to see as United fans, great performance now we need to replicate that as a baseline rather than just against the 'big' teams. A confidence builder for sure
Chris: The last two games have shown a glimpse of what this team are capable of, but it will be the next two games that will really show the true mentality change. If they are positive, hopefully the second half of the season will move towards another trophy and a far more respectable league position than currently.
Agim: Something good is in the air. Something good is building. Two hard games away and United have believed in themselves and got rewarded for it. Respect for Ruben Amorim for not letting his guard down and making the players understanding the importance of playing for Manchester United.
Peter: Even though it was an extremely difficult watch - especially the first half - you can see that Amorim had a strategy and a plan to contain and beat Arsenal. To do it with 10 men was phenomenal. Arsenal should have won this game but the steely determination and togetherness Amorim has instilled in this team is fantastic. If these players had fought like this for Erik ten Hag, he'd still be in a job. Amorim's got everything it takes to succeed, let's just hope he gets as much time as Fergie did because he is a winner.

Should Bayindir be United's first choice goalkeeper?published at 07:25 13 January

Media caption,
Match of the Day's Micah Richards believes Altay Bayindir has given Ruben Amorim a tough decision going forward after impressing in the FA Cup.
Could the back-up goalkeeper earn a spot as first-choice goalkeeper ahead of Andre Onana?
"It is hard because it is one game so you have to be careful not to be reactionary," said Richards. "Onana has been alright [this season] but he does make a lot of mistakes.
"In terms of calmness, United looked really comfortable in their structure so it will be one for the manager to decide."
Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer said: "When you get your opportunity, you have to take it - and he took it!"

'Arsenal did not deserve to lose but we deserved to win'published at 18:47 12 January

Ruben Amorim spoke to the BBC after Manchester United's victory against Arsenal: "Thankfully the players were there, they fought. Sometimes what we talk about before the match is not tactical or technical, it's this. We have to compete no matter what, no matter what the situation we competed today. We deserved to win, Arsenal didn't deserve to lose but we deserved to win. The way we played, the way we fought was really tough since the beginning. We didn't have the ball too much but we had control without the ball.
"I want to also say thank you to all the fans. It was unbelievable. I did not understand that all that area was our supporters, so it was a good day for us now we have to rest the players, I'm already thinking about the next game they're really tired.
"Sometimes we have the feeling that everything in the end is going to be okay. I felt that since the beginning of the second half, even after the penalty. I think the Arsenal team felt that maybe today is not their day. I'm really pleased for the way they controlled the game without the ball. We defended very well, set pieces we were really strong. It was a good day but now I'm thinking about the next game and worried about the next game.
"We were facing a great team and it was not just 90 minutes, it was more than that and then you feel like the players are really tired. They put in new players, they controlled the ball all the time, it was a sacrifice for my players. But we deserved to pass through this round because we suffered all together and we showed character and that's a very important thing."
Manchester United have won three of their last four penalty shootouts in all competitions, after only winning one of their eight shootouts prior between April 2009 and February 2022.
Altay Bayindir is the first Premier League goalkeeper on record in the FA Cup (since 2013-14) to save a penalty in both normal time and in a penalty shootout in the same game.

Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir spoke to BBC after Sunday's victory against Arsenal: "I just help my team. I am working everyday. I am patient. I just want to help this great team.
"I want to make everyone happy for this great club. I'm working here everyday."
"If you are not playing it doesn't matter. You have to be ready every minute, every second, if you are a Man Utd player you have to be ready always."
"[Ruben Amorim] is talking with us everyday and he wants to help us. We love him and he's always trying to do his best. He has a very good relationship with the players and we are trusting him, he is trusting us. We are fighting together."
Bruno Fernandes spoke about the goalkeeper's performance: It's a big moment for him, the first penalty and another save here and we are really happy for him .It's tough to be second goalkeeper, he came here to play, whenever he gets his chance he's top class for us, he's top class in training, he's always available for everyone and he truly deserves this moment.
"I know we want to celebrate and everything but our focus is now Southampton, that is when we have to back it up. The big games against Liverpool, Arsenal, everyone steps up because it's a big game. You want to be in these kinds of games, you want to be involved, you want to be the best but we have to do it in Old Trafford with these fans again. We have to give it back for the club. We need to do it every week, every game."
