Arsenal’s The poor season continued against Manchester United in the FA Cup at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners were knocked out of the competition by Ruben Amorim’s side in spectacular fashion.
After a 1-1 draw in normal time and extra time, the two teams advanced to a penalty shootout which the Red Devils won 5-3.
The Man United goalkeeper, who saved a penalty from Martin Oegaard in normal time, was the hero against the Gunners after he saved Kai Havertz’s penalty in the shootout.
It was a game where nothing went right for the north London club, who missed several easy chances in the game.
Not only have they been knocked out of the FA Cup, they have also been beaten 2-0 by Newcastle United in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
To make matters worse for Mikel Arteta’s side, the Gunners lost Gabriel Jesus to what looked like a serious injury in their FA Cup clash.
The attacker was stretchered off in the 40th minute of the match after a clash with Bruno Fernandes that left the attacker with a knee injury.
Arteta has provided a worrying update on the 27-year-old striker’s injury.
He said, as reported GOAL:
“A big concern, that’s my feeling. He had to go down on a stretcher in a lot of pain, touching his knee. It doesn’t look good.”
Arsenal need a new attacking signing in January
The Gunners have lost both Bukayo Saka and Jesus for quite some time now and their attacking depth is currently suffering.
Their season could end in January if they fail to land an attacking signing this month.
Jesus is expected to have further tests today to determine the extent of his injury, but as Arteta commented, it doesn’t look good for the Brazilian.
The Gunners have reported it made a phone call to Man United to show their interest in Marcus Rashford.
This signing would make perfect sense for them and cover the loss of Saka and Jesus in the squad.
another attacking option being looked at by the Premier League giants he is Kingsley Coman of Bayern Munich.
