Ultimately, Kai Havertz missed a crucial penalty, allowing United to advance to the fourth round via a penalty shootout victory.
Post-match, United fans highlighted a specific instance in the closing moments that confirmed Amorim’s influence on the players’ mentality.
Video footage captured United’s players sprinting back to defend in stoppage time after their own free-kick was caught by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.
Notable efforts from Matthijs de Ligt, Toby Collyer, Amad Diallo, and Joshua Zirkzee demonstrated their determination to get back into position as Arsenal launched a late counter-attack.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: “YES! This is the clip I’ve been looking for. 90+1, look how every single United player immediately started sprinting back to defend the moment Raya got the ball.
“Now, this is a proper team fighting to win. Amorim has completely changed the mentality.”
Another tweeted: “Something snapped after the Newcastle loss. Since then we’ve looked completely different.”
A third supporter added: “This is the big difference in football under Amorim and before his arrival.”
Someone else wrote: “If we maintain this attitude, we will turn around back to greatness.”
A fifth commented: “The shift in mentality is clearly visible; we just need to improve our football, which will obviously develop with more time on the training field.”
Another fan said: “Something we see in all the good teams. Amorim is going to get us there.”
As a result of beating Arsenal, Man United can now look forward to a fourth-round tie against Leicester City at Old Trafford.
