Mikel Arteta is desperate for reinforcements, but he has now conceded that Arsenal are unlikely to make many big signings in this year's January transfer window

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Manchester United will be a different proposition in Sunday's FA Cup third-round clash as a result of extra training time with Ruben Amorim.

Mikel Arteta has conceded that Arsenal have not spent as much on forwards as their rivals but says that bringing in an extra body is not guaranteed to improve the squad. Arsenal have failed to score or scored only once in 13 out of their 30 matches in all competitions this season and passed up several opportunities against Newcastle in the first-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is impressed by the impact new boss Ruben Amorim has had on Manchester United, and expects it to be a beautiful game when the two teams face off in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.
