SPORTS 14 MATHEUS CUNHA remains sidelined as Manchester United look to bounce back after a “really tough” week, manager Ruben Amorim said yesterday. United stumbled to a 1-0 home loss against 10-man Everton on Monday, ending a five match unbeaten run that had lifted spirits at Old Trafford. Amorim’s side were missing Cunha after the Brazil forward suffered a knock in training, compounding the absence of striker Benjamin Sesko, who has a knee injury. Neither will be available for today’s (8pm)

Devils seek to rebound at Palace trip to Crystal Palace, where experienced defender Maguire will again miss out. early in the game after Idrissa Gana Gueye slapped teammate Michael Keane.

Amorim’s men blew leads against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham earlier this month before snatching 2-2 draws in both games. “It’s hard to point to one thing why we are not winning away,” said the Portuguese, whose team are 10th in the Premier League. “We need to show the players why we lost control against Nottingham, why we lost control against Tottenham, so if you look at those games, they were there to win,” said Amorim. “Sometimes a small detail can change anything. “I’ve felt the intensity at home has been higher. But against Everton, it was not on the same level. I think it’s something we need to work on. There are a lot of issues we are improving and we need to know how to finish the games to win.” – AFP/The Independent

“It was really tough, the week, as it should be,” Amorim said. “It was hard this result, this defeat, but the process needs to continue, and we need to go for the next game. We need to understand that especially in our league this year, everything can change really fast, so let’s go again and focus on the next one.” United are seeking just their second away win of the campaign against a Palace side unbeaten in their past 12 Premier League home matches.

“Sesko is going to take a little bit more time,” United boss Amorim said. “Harry the same. I expect to have Matheus in the next one (against West Ham on Thursday), not this one.” The absence of Cunha and Sesko is a major blow for United, who have failed to score in their past four Premier League meetings against Palace. Amorim’s side need to lift the mood after Monday’s embarrassing home loss to an Everton team reduced to 10 men

Declan Rice against Spurs recently. – REUTERSPIC

MIKEL ARTETA believes there is more to come from Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice ahead of tomorrow’s (12.30am Malaysian time) battle with Chelsea’s formidable duo Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. The trio cost more than £300 million (RM1.7b) overall with each signed for a nine-figure fee and amongst the best players in the Premier League this season. Rice this week revealed he voted for Caicedo in his 2024-25 team of the year as debate over the better player rumbles on, but Arteta backed the England international to go up another level despite an impressive level of consistency over the past 12 months. Asked if this is the best version of Rice, Arteta said: “Probably a year or two ago, yes, but now being with him every single day, understanding and connecting with him in the way I have done, we are going to get more. “Because he wants more, the team knows him better, his role is growing around the team. The impact he has on the team, it’s huge. “I knew him for a long time (before signing) and I knew how he could evolve and change the team. He has certainly done it and probably improved on those expectations.” Rice’s best work at West Ham occurred in a more deeper position in front of defence, but Arteta has unlocked new levels to his game in an advanced midfield role.

The long-serving Gunners head coach could not remember a specific fixture which convinced him to sign Rice, but always had his current position in mind. “I would have to think about it but most of the time, if you have the option to see a player live and sense him, get that energy, presence and charisma, on top of his qualities, it’s something else,” Arteta reflected. “Probably when he was around I said, ‘hmm, that’s a special player.’ “To be fair I had this one, I had another position that was a little bit further back to do something else and he can adapt to anything you throw at him. “At the moment, that is what we were thinking, in front is probably much more positive for the team.” Rice’s stature as a leader at Arsenal has grown in recent seasons and he has made clear his desire to lead the club to trophies. Arteta added: “A huge amount. Obviously he was captain at West Ham. He comes here to a new club, a new environment and there were things already set, but he has earned the right to increase that role. “To be more important, to be very present in everything we do, he’s in the leadership group, which is very important. “He’s a real presence. He doesn’t need to wear the armband to feel really connected, really powerful and really important in the team.” – The Independent
