Manchester United travel to face Arsenal at The Emirates on Wednesday evening.

The Arsenal match is the start of a run that will see Manchester United play four of their next five games away from home.

Next Saturday’s clash against Nottingham Forest is the last match at Old Trafford until Bournemouth visit later this month on 22nd December.

Ruben Amorim has enjoyed an unbeaten start to life as United head coach, but his toughest tests will come this month, starting with the trip to Arsenal.

United have failed to win against Arsenal at The Emirates in the Premier League since 2017 under Jose Mourinho.

Man United’s away record is a concern

United are unbeaten in the last seven matches with the 2-1 defeat to West Ham in Erik ten Hag’s final game the latest defeat.

But the Red Devils have struggled all season when it comes to playing away from Old Trafford.

United have played eight games away from home this season and only won once – the 3-0 victory over Southampton back in September.

The win at St Mary’s Stadium was still far from convincing with Andre Onana superbly saving a penalty to inspire the victory.

Picking up a victory at The Emirates will be a tough ask but Amorim insists that is the aim – to win every game. United need to start doing that more away from home.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s record-breaking away form at Man United

Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign as manager, United were so impressive away from home that they actually broke a record previously held by Arsenal.

Between February 2020 and September 2021, Solskjaer led United to 29 away league games unbeaten.

It beat the record previously set by Arsenal under Arsene Wenger between 2003-2004.

With United facing the Gunners on Wednesday, Amorim will hope he can have a similar effect on United’s away form starting with a positive result in North London.
