MU dismisses Amorim, Arsenal could immediately sign 3 superstars

Ruben Amorim's exit from Manchester United marks the close of a frustrating period at Old Trafford and simultaneously creates attractive transfer prospects for Arsenal.

After a turbulent 14 months, Ruben Amorim officially leaves his coaching position at Manchester United. Inconsistent results combined with controversial statements meant the Portuguese manager did not receive the patience Mikel Arteta once had at Arsenal. However, behind this sacking lies a significant consequence in the transfer market, especially for the Emirates Stadium side.

During the most recent summer transfer window, Manchester United signed three players previously targeted by Arsenal: Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko. While Amorim was still in charge, these three were seen as the foundation for a new project at Old Trafford. Now, with Amorim gone, United’s personnel strategy is likely to shift, potentially allowing Arsenal to revisit these former targets.

Overall, Arsenal’s current squad has reached a high level of stability and depth, leaving few Manchester United players able to break into the starting lineup. Nevertheless, Arsenal continues to seek fitting pieces to upgrade their attack, especially since the striker issue remains unresolved. Pressure surrounding Viktor Gyokeres’ situation makes adding a forward in the summer increasingly realistic.

Among the three names mentioned, Benjamin Sesko is the least likely option. This striker was once considered very close to joining Arsenal before choosing Manchester United, but his current form is not convincing enough for Arsenal to take a risk, especially as he faces similar challenges to Gyokeres in making a significant impact. Abandoning a major deal to return to Sesko would therefore contradict Arteta’s squad-building logic.

Bryan Mbeumo is a different case. This winger is regarded as the most successful signing among United’s three newcomers and was once part of Arsenal’s plans. However, with many quality options on both flanks, Mbeumo is unlikely to become a top priority at the Emirates.

The most notable name is Matheus Cunha. Arsenal previously pursued the Brazilian forward, and although his goal tally at United hasn’t been outstanding, many believe Cunha suits a possession-based, high-press system like Arsenal’s. At 26, Cunha is entering his prime and could provide the versatility Arteta desires.

Of course, no transfer is straightforward. But with financial pressures at Old Trafford and a new coach likely to restructure the squad, Manchester United might be forced to offload players. In this context, Amorim’s departure inadvertently opens three transfer avenues, and Arsenal should be ready to seize the opportunity if it arises.
