‘We want to improve our image’: Amorim’s Man Utd hope for statement FA Cup win vs Arsenal
Manchester United will be travelling to London to face Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
James Ward-Prowse’s first-half goal helped Southampton beat Fulham 1-0 in the Emirates FA Cup on Saturday.
Happy with the win, Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino believes his side can use the 1-0 victory as a platform to build on. Pleased with the spirit of his players, he said, “It was important because we needed a performance like this to show to the others that we are really strong as a team.”

“I think we defended well and we showed spirit from the beginning until the end of the game. It was a difficult game, because Fulham are a good team who play good football and manage the ball well. But I think we looked dangerous on the counter-attack and could’ve scored the second goal,” he said to the official website of Southampton.
