Owen on Arsenal lesson for Manchester United: how Amorim can save his job.
According to The Sun: Michael Owen believes that Manchester United can learn from Arsenal, who have undergone a significant evolution under Mikel Arteta.
Arteta, appointed in 2019, initially faced numerous challenges, and at times it seemed he could be dismissed.

Owen, 45, notes that although the 'North Londoners' are a 'completely different phenomenon', Manchester United can learn to 'fit into the process', as their rivals did with Arteta.
The former Manchester United star emphasizes that progress can manifest not only through results.
What is needed for progress
Owen also highlights that the situation at Manchester United is more 'uncomfortable', as Amorim is not demonstrating progress 'visually.'
“Even if there is no visible progress, people must support the process,” Owen stated.
He insists that the Portuguese coach needs to find a way to demonstrate achievements that will impact management and fans.
“Arteta is an example of when you support someone if you see early results that go beyond simple expectations.”
Key players for Amorim
Owen believes that three key players can help Amorim turn things around at Manchester United. These are team captain Bruno Fernandes and new signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, who can solve the problems of converting chances.
He also added that hopes are pinned on new signings, as scoring goals has become a significant issue in recent seasons.
Prospects for young talent
United also spent £74 million on Benjamin Sesko in the summer to strengthen their attacking line. Sesko, 22, has played in all seven Premier League matches, starting in only four of them, scoring twice.
“I wouldn't want to rate him at an early stage of the season,” Owen asserts.
Owen believes that over time, Sesko can become an important asset for Manchester United due to his physical attributes and presence on the pitch.
