In an exclusive interview with Sky News' lead world news presenter Yalda Hakim, senior Hamas official Dr Basem Naim also warned that former UK Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair would not be welcome in any post-war role for Gaza. Latest updates: Palestinians head back north - as Israel pulls troops back Israel and Hamas have agreed to a first phase of a peace deal brokered by the US president, with a ceasefire taking effect on Friday. Dr Naim said the ceasefire would not have been possible without President Trump, but insisted he needed to continue to apply pressure to Israel to stick to the agreement. He added that Hamas would be willing to step aside for a Palestinian body to govern a post-war Gaza, but that they would remain "on the ground" and would not be disarmed. Dr Naim said in the interview: "Without the personal interference of President Trump in this case, I don't think that it would have happened to have reached the end of the war. "Therefore, yes, we thank President Trump and his personal efforts to interfere and to pressure Israel to bring an end to this massacre and slaughtering." 👉Listen to The World with Richard Engel and Yalda Hakim on your podcast app👈 He added: "We believe and we hope that President Trump will continue to interfere personally and to exercise the maximum pressure on [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu to fulfil its obligation. "First, as according to the deal, and second, according to the international law as an occupying power, because I think without this pressure, without this personal interference from President Trump, this will not happen. "We have already seen Netanyahu speaking to the media, threatening to go to war again if this doesn't happen, if that doesn't happen." Questions remain over the next phases of the peace plan, including who will govern Gaza as Israeli troops gradually pull back and whether Hamas will disarm - as called for in Mr Trump's ceasefire plan. Mr Netanyahu has hinted that Israel might renew its offensive if Hamas does not give up its weapons. However, Dr Naim said Hamas would not completely disarm and that weapons would only be handed over to the Palestinian state, with fighters integrated into the Palestinian National Army. "No one has the right to deny us the right to resist the occupation of armies," he said. On future governance, Dr Naim criticised plans for Sir Tony to play any role in overseeing the future of Gaza, saying that Hamas and Palestinians were angered by his role in previous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Dr Naim added: "When it comes to Tony Blair, unfortunately, we Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims and maybe others around the world have bad memories of him. "We can still remember his role in killing, causing thousands or millions of deaths to innocent civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq. "We can still remember him very well after destroying Iraq and Afghanistan." Under Mr Trump's plans, Sir Tony would form part of an international supervisory body. The international body, the Council of Peace or Board of Peace, would govern under plans approved by Mr Netanyahu.

The body would hold most power while overseeing the administration of Palestinian technocrats running day-to-day affairs. It would also hold the commanding role of directing reconstruction in Gaza. Dr Naim added that Hamas was satisfied Mr Trump's plan would achieve peace in Gaza. But he said it could never be fully satisfied after accusing Israel of genocide. Israel has continually denied this, claiming it has been fighting Hamas terrorists to defend itself following the October 7 massacre in 2023.

The 58-year-old plays entrepreneur Cameron Beck in The Iris Affair, a drama about the world's most powerful quantum computer. Dubbed "Charlie Big Potatoes" - it could eat ChatGPT for breakfast. It's a timely theme in a world where artificial intelligence is advancing at pace, and just last week, the world's first AI starlet - Tilly Norwood - made her Hollywood debut. Hollander is not impressed. He suggests rumours that Norwood is in talks with talent agencies are "a lot of old nonsense", and questions the logistics of working with an AI actor, asking "Would it be, like a blue screen?" Norwood - a pretty, 20-something brunette - is the creation of Dutch actor and comedian Eline Van der Velden and her AI production studio Particle6. It's planning to launch its own AI talent studio, Xicoia, soon. Hollander tells Sky News: "I'm perhaps not scared enough about it. I think the reaction against it is quite strong. And I think there'll be some legal stuff. Also, it needs to be proven to be good. I mean, the little film that they did around her, I didn't think was terribly interesting." The sketch - shared on social media and titled AI Commissioner - poked fun at the future of TV development in a post-AI world. Stars including Emily Blunt, Natasha Lyonne and Whoopi Goldberg have objected to Norwood's creation too, as has US actors' union SAG-AFTRA. Hollander compares watching an AI performer to watching a magic trick: "You know with your brain that you're watching something that's bullshit… If they don't have to tell you, that would be difficult. But if they've told you it's AI, then you'll watch it with a different part of your brain." Always screen-ready, with no ego and low salary requirements, Norwood is being billed as a studio's dream hire. In line with Hollywood's exacting standards for female beauty, she'll also never age. Hollander's Iris Affair co-star Niamh Algar, who plays genius codebreaker Iris Nixon in the show, doesn't feel threatened by this new kid on the block, poking fun at Norwood's girl-next-door persona: "She's a nightmare to work with. She's always late. Takes ages in her trailer." But Algar adds: "I don't want to work with an AI. No." She goes on, "I don't think you can replicate. She's a character, she's not an actor." Algar says the flaw in AI's performance - scraped from the plethora of real performances that have come before it - is that we, as humans, are "excited by unpredictability". She says AI is "too perfect, we like flaws". Hollander agrees: "There'll be a fight for authenticity. People will be going, 'I refuse makeup. Give me less makeup, I want less makeup because AI can't possibly mimic the blemishes on my face'". He even manages to pull a positive from the AI revolution: "It means that live performance will be more exciting than ever before… "I think live performance is one antidote, and it's certainly true in music, isn't it? I mean, partly because they have to go on tour [to make money], but also because there's just nothing like it and you can't replace it." Algar enthusiastically adds: "Theatre's going to kick off. It's going to be so hot." As for using AI themselves, while Hollander admits he's used it recently for "a bit of problem solving", Algar says she tries to avoid it, worrying "part of my brain is going to go dormant". Indeed, the impact of technology on our brains is a source of constant inspiration - and torture - for The Iris Affair screenwriter Neil Cross. Cross, who also created psychological crime thriller Luther, tells Sky News: "We are at a hinge point in history." He says: "I'm interested in what technological revolution does to people. I have 3am thoughts about the poor man who invented the like button. "He came up with a simple invention whose only intention was to increase levels of human happiness. How could something as simple as a like button go wrong? And it went so disastrously wrong. "It's caused so much misery and anxiety and unhappiness in the human race entire. If something as simple as a small like button can have such dire, cascading, unexpected consequences, what is this moment of revolution going to lead to?" Indeed, Cross says he lives in "a perpetual state of terror". He goes on: "I'm always going to be terrified of something. The world's going to look very different. I think in 50 or 60 years' time. He takes a brief pause, then self-edits: "Probably 15 years' time". With The Iris Affair's central themes accelerating out of science fiction, and into reality, Cross's examination of our instinctual fear of the unknown, coupled with our desire for knowledge that might destroy us is a powerful mix. Cross concludes: "We're in danger of creating God. And I think that's the ultimate danger of AI. God doesn't exist - yet." The Iris Affair is available from Thursday 16 October on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW

Coupled with the support of four other independent MPs, it held the blueprints of a credible party. But ever since the launch of Your Party (working title) the left-wing movement has faced mockery and exasperation over its inability to look organised. First, we learned Jeremy Corbyn's team had been unaware of the exact timing of Zarah Sultana's announcement that she would quit the Labour Party. Then a much bigger row emerged when she launched a membership drive linking people to sign up to the party without the full consent of the team. It laid bare the holes in the structure of the party and pulled focus away from its core values of trying to be a party to counter Labour and Reform UK, while also drawing out some pretty robust language from their only woman MP calling the grouping a "sexist boys club". It gave the impression that she was being sidelined by the four other male MPs behind the scenes. This week, they tried to come together for the first time at a rally I attended in Liverpool and then, in quick succession, another event at The World Transformed conference the day after. But not everyone I spoke to who turned up to see the two heroes of the left found them all that convincing. Jeremy Corbyn admitted to me that "there were some errors made about announcements and that caused a problem". He said he was disappointed but that "we're past that". Zarah Sultana said they were like Liam and Noel, who managed to "patch things up and have a very successful tour - we are doing the same". The problem is, it didn't really explain what happened, or how they resolved things behind the scenes, and for some, it might have done too much damage already. Layla signed up as a member when she first saw the link. It was the moment she had been waiting for after becoming frustrated with Labour. But she told me she found the ordeal "very unprofessional, very dishonest and messy", and said she doesn't want to be in a disorganised party and has lost trust in where her money will end up. She's now thinking about the Greens. She said their leader, Zack Polanski "seemed like such a strong politician" with "a lot of charisma". Since Polanski's rise to power as leader, the Green Party has surged in popularity. According to a recent poll, they went up four points in just one week (following their conference). Voters, particularly on the left, seem to like his brand of "eco populism". While he has politely declined formally working in conjunction with Your Party publicly, he has said the "door is always open" to collaboration especially as he sees common goals between the two parties. Zarah Sultana said this weekend though that the Greens don't describe themselves as socialists and that they support NATO which she has dubbed an "imperialist war machine". While newer coalitions may not be the problem for now, internal fissures might come sooner than they expect. Voters at the rally this weekend came with pretty clear concerns about some of the other independent MPs involved in Your Party. Read more on Sky News:AI 'distorting women online'Pros and cons of digital IDsImpact of new online safety rules I asked Ayoub Khan if he considered himself left-wing. A question that would solicit a simple answer in a crowd like this. But he said his view was very simple, that he is interested in fighting for equality, fairness and justice: 'We all know that different wards, different constituencies have different priorities and MPs should be allowed to represent the views of the communities they serve." To him, that can sometimes mean voting against the private school tax and against decriminalising abortion. The Your Party rally on Thursday night was packed, but the tone was subdued. People came full of optimism but they also wanted to make up their mind about the credibility of the new offering and to see the renewed reconciliation up close. The organisers closed the evening off with John Lennon's song, Imagine. That was apt, because until the party can get their act together, that's all they'll be doing.

"This has to be more. It's not enough. He needs to keep on going. I thought it's 30 at least! And then I would have said 'well it's not enough' because I'm never, never satisfied." It had been a straightforward question to Tuchel, trying to elicit some praise for Saka, after he became the highest goal-scoring Arsenal player for England with a fine strike in the friendly win over Wales on Thursday night. But instead, the response showed even England's warm, popular, Starboy winger isn't safe from Tuchel's ruthless analysis. A smirk crept onto Tuchel's face midway through his assessment of Saka's output at international level, with the German perhaps aware of his reputation as a hard task master. But he does not hesitate to speak plainly when he feels his players are short of the highest standards he sets. Thomas Tuchel calls England fans 'silent' in Wales win: 'We didn't get any energy'Report and ratings: England 3-0 WalesAs it happened | Teams | Match stats Earlier in his post-match press conference, Tuchel had agreed Saka had "stepped up" in what was just his second appearance under the German - before adding: "He had to, as well." Tuchel has been impressed by the performances of Noni Madueke for England and it seems Saka is not the shoo-in at right wing he was assumed to be. "He will fight for his place," said Tuchel. "This is what we demand from him." Saka - who has 45 caps for his country - admitted himself he had further steps to take to return to his top level as he builds up after the injuries which limited his involvement for Tuchel's England in previous international breaks. "The way I perform for Arsenal, I want to take it into England and perform better in games and be more effective," he said. Tuchel is well-liked by the England players. The club-like feel he is building in camp is testament to that. But it is a squad steered - and selected - with a firm hand. Is honesty the best policy? It has put Tuchel into awkward positions in the past in his club career and grabbed headlines during his England tenure. His explanation for Jude Bellingham's absence from this squad, for example, could easily have been rephrased to cause less of a storm. By indicating Bellingham had wanted to join up, Tuchel opened the door for questions to be asked why he wasn't picked when other players recently returned from injury or short on game time had been. His "repulsive" tag for some of the Real Madrid midfielder's actions on the pitch back in June led to an apology but looms over their perceived relationship. England latest news and analysisWC 2026 European qualifying schedule | Who has qualified so far? Similarly, Tuchel's criticism of England supporters at Wembley on Thursday night for the atmosphere generated at the national stadium pulled no punches. But Tuchel's one-tournament deal with the FA gives him some licence to rock the boat in a bid to try to draw out a greater performance from his players - and even the fans. After all, he may only coach the national team two or three more times at Wembley. Tuchel was hired to get the job done, not build long-term friendships. He'll be popular enough if he delivers World Cup glory. The signs against Wales, particularly in the first half an hour, were that he has England on the path to mounting a strong challenge in North America to do just that next summer. His England team - shorn of some star names - are building momentum on the back of that 5-0 World Cup qualifying win in Serbia. The strong words and tough love appear to be a galvanising force for now, uniting a group of players who have gone up a level together over the past two months. Will that hold true in the pressure-cooker of a World Cup or if results take a turn for the worse? That is the line Tuchel is treading. But don't expect him to change. "The competition is on," has become one of Tuchel's favourite phrases. Everyone - even established stars such as Saka and Bellingham - must show they are ready to compete and contribute for a coach who, as he says, "is never satisfied".

In a post to his Truth Social platform on Friday, the US president said Beijing had sent an "extremely hostile letter to the world" and imposed "large-scale export controls on virtually every product they make". Mr Trump, who warned the additional tariffs would start on 1 November, said the US would also impose export controls on all critical software to China. The president added that he was imposing the tariffs because of export controls placed on rare earths by China. He wrote: "Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the USA, and not other nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a tariff of 100% on China, over and above any tariff that they are currently paying. "It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is history. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Mr Trump said earlier on Friday that there "seems to be no reason" to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in a scheduled meeting as part of an upcoming trip to South Korea at the end of this month. He had posted: "I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems no reason to do so." Read more:China tightens control of global rare earth supplyThree things you may have missed from China this week The trip was scheduled to include a stop in Malaysia, which is hosting the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit, a stop in Japan and then the stop to South Korea, where Mr Trump would meet Mr Xi ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. Mr Trump added: "There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration." The move signalled the biggest rupture in relations in six months between Beijing and Washington - the world's biggest factory and its biggest consumer. It also threatens to escalate tensions between the two countries, prompting fears over the stability of the global economy. Friday was Wall Street's worst day since April, with the S&P 500 falling 2.7%, owing to fears about US-China relations. China had restricted access to rare earths ahead of the meeting between Presidents Trump and Xi. Under the restrictions, Beijing would require foreign companies to get special approval for shipping the metallic elements abroad.

By the time he was 13, the neurological condition was causing full-body movements so extreme he compares himself with the young heroine in horror film The Exorcist. John tells Sky News: "There's a scene where the girl's on the bed and her whole body's twitching about and screaming. That's almost what it felt like. My tics became so extreme that I was hurting myself. I was pulling muscles. I was tired all the time. "I would break down and cry so many times in a day because I was totally out of control. Something had completely taken over my mind and my body." Growing up in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders, John was repeatedly told his symptoms were in his head - or worse, intentional - when a chance meeting with a visiting junior doctor while in hospital led to a diagnosis. Largely unheard of in the 1980s, today, high-profile figures including Scottish musician Lewis Capaldi and US star Billie Eilish have publicly spoken about living with Tourette's. Affecting more than 300,000 people in Britain, it's more common than many think. One schoolchild in every hundred is estimated to be affected by the syndrome, according to NHS England. While severity can range, there is currently no cure. And while the University of Nottingham is working on a device which uses electrical pulses to suppress tic urges, the wristband - called Neupulse - is currently awaiting full medical approval. 'Medication turned me into a zombie' Treated with drugs as a child, John suffered devastating side-effects: "Anti-psychotic medications turned me into a zombie. I've got probably about a two-year period in my teens where I have no real proper memories." Frustrated by the lack of support available to him growing up, John is now a Tourette syndrome campaigner, recognised for his work with an MBE. But even that came with challenges unique to his condition. At the 2019 ceremony at Holyrood Palace, when collecting his award, John shouted "F*** the Queen" at Elizabeth II. He says: "It was horrific for me. It was like the last thing I ever wanted to have to shout. And I think that's the nature of the coprolalia, part of the condition, where it's the worst possible thing you could say in that situation." Affecting a minority of the Tourette's population, coprolalia is the involuntary utterance of socially inappropriate words or phrases. While less common, it's the feature of Tourette's most often portrayed in the media. John goes on: "It came as much of a shock to me as to everyone else, you know? But I'm the one in the moment having to deal with those emotions and feelings of wanting the ground to swallow me up. [Thinking] I don't want to be here any more." 'Living with it is absolutely awful' Now, in a bid to tackle the stereotype, a film is being made about John's life based on his 2025 memoir, with Game Of Thrones star Robert Aramayo playing the lead role. No stranger to media exposure himself, John has appeared in numerous documentaries over the years, following on from the groundbreaking 1989 documentary about his life, John's Not Mad. But it hasn't always been a positive experience. John says: "Every time they make a documentary, they make such a thing about the swearing part, which then stigmatises the condition because people are then left to assume that everyone with Tourette's swears and shouts obscenities." In reality, coprolalia is not typical of the condition and only affects around one in 10 people with Tourette's. John acknowledges there is a comedic element to this: "When people think of uncontrollably swearing like that, it's funny. 'Oh my God', you know, 'shock, horror'. But for the one living with it, it's absolutely awful." 'Let's have sex!' It's a sentiment the film's director echoes. Kirk Jones first met John in 2022. Meeting him at his house to discuss the potential of making the film, John opened the door and, after inviting him in, shouted in his face: "Let's have sex!" His first introduction to John's verbal ticks, the director admits it was a "steep learning curve". He tells Sky News: "There's something about Tourette's, which I don't think has made it a very friendly or accessible condition. I think that's down to the fact that people who have coprolalia come across as being aggressive or argumentative or difficult or upsetting people, and I think that's unfair. They need as much support as anyone else." The director says it took him some time to gain John's trust, showing he wanted to do more than just revisit tired stereotypes. He says: "The Tourette's community had been kind of abused in the past. They've been invited to appear on TV shows or radio or be in newspaper articles, under the guise of helping people to understand Tourette's more. But what the TV channel or the radio show really wanted was just a cheap laugh. "When I first met John and started talking about the idea of the film, he was understandably suspicious." Handing over some creative control, John is also an executive producer on the film. 'When you laugh, it breaks the ice' Now, at 54, and having lived with the condition for over 40 years, John believes people are becoming more tolerant of Tourette's, but would love to see further acceptance. "It's about not being shocked. It's not about being dead serious with a straight face. Feel free to laugh, because when you laugh, it breaks the ice. "I wish people had the confidence to approach people with Tourette's and just deal with it as if it was an everyday thing." The director, too, hopes the film will have a real-world impact and open people's eyes to the reality of the condition. He says: "I hope this film can play a small part in starting to refocus people's attention on helping and supporting people rather than just laughing or mocking." I Swear is in UK and Irish cinemas from Friday 10 October. Anyone looking for support or information about Tourette syndrome can access resources at Tourettes Action or Tourette Scotland for those living in Scotland.

But a lot has changed since it began in 2016, organised then by the Corbyn-backed group Momentum. And like the former Labour leader himself, TWT has gone independent. From Thursday to Sunday, a programme of politics, arts and cultural events will be held in Manchester, a week after Labour's annual party gathering ended. "It no longer made any sense to be a fringe festival of the Labour conference," Hope Worsdale, an organiser since 2018, tells Sky News. "We need a space for the independent left to come together." This decision was made before the formation of Your Party in July and the surge of support behind the Greens and its new leader Zack Polanski, but both these factors have given TWT some extra momentum. Organisers say it is not just a festival, but a "statement of intent from the British left" - and a left that looks different from how it used to. Previous headline speakers were Labour MPs in the left-wing Socialist Campaign Group, and in 2021, the showstopper was American democrat Bernie Sanders calling in live for an event alongside John McDonnell. This year, Mr Polanski, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana are the only British politicians due to speak at events - though Brian Leishman, who lost the Labour whip in the summer, is also scheduled on a panel. TWT was put on pause last year for organisers to reflect upon its role going forward, after Sir Keir Starmer's election victory. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, while he was leader of the opposition, the festival was able to "co-exist" with Labour as a space for activists on the left to discuss ideas. But the prime minister's "shift to the right" has alienated so many of those grassroots members that it was felt TWT's core audience would no longer be at Labour Party conferences, says Hope, who joined Labour in the Corbyn years and has since left. "Our official position isn't that Labour is dead and no one should engage with it," she says. "But they have shifted the values of Labour so radically since the last election, broken promise after promise, attacked civil liberties… there's been such a suite of terrible decisions that mean people who are generally progressive and generally left wing feel like they have to take their organising elsewhere." So what's on the cards? There will be 120 events held in Hulme, Manchester, from Thursday to Sunday evening. At the heart of the programme is daily assemblies, which organisers say are "designed to hold genuinely constructive debates about what we should do and how we should do it". But there's just as much partying as there is politics - Dele Sosimi and his Afrobeat Orchestra are headlining the Saturday night slot while a "mystery guest" will host what TWT calls its "infamous" pub quiz on Friday night. Back in 2018 that was Ed Miliband's job, when 10,000 activists were expected to attend TWT. This year, organisers anticipate around 3,000 people will gather, but those involved insist this is a real chance for the left to strategise and co-ordinate, given the involvement of over 75 grassroots groups, trade unions, and activist networks. Collaboration 'vital' A key question the left will need to address is how it can avoid splitting the vote given the rise of the Greens, socialist independents and the formation of Your Party, One activist from the We Deserve Better organisation, which is campaigning for a left-wing electoral alliance and will be at TWT this weekend, acknowledged collaboration is "vital" if the left is to make gains under Britain's first-past-the-post system. But it remains to be seen whether Your Party co-leaders Mr Corbyn and Ms Sultana can even work together following their public spat last month, let alone with other parties. The pair put on a united front at a rally in Liverpool on the eve of TWT, when Sultana said she was "truly sorry" and promised "no more of that". But will the truce last? "It's not ideal", says the activist. "Hopefully they are back on track...a lot of collaboration is happening at the grassroots and we need to make sure it's formalised so we can beat Labour and the right, we need to put on united front." They point to seats like Ilford North, where Health Secretary Wes Streeting clung on by a margin of just 528 votes in the general election, after a challenge from British-Palestinian candidate Leanne Mohamad, who ran in protest against Labour's stance on Gaza. Meanwhile, in Hackney, the Greens are hoping to gain their first directly elected mayor next May, with the Hackney Independent Socialist Group of councillors throwing their weight behind the party's candidate, Zoe Garbett. The We Deserve Better activist says Labour's "hostile war on the left" has made these areas ripe for the taking, and what is more important than party affiliation is galvanising momentum behind one candidate who shares socialist values on issues like public ownership and immigration - be they the Greens, independents, or Your Party. "The World Transformed reflects a general reorientation of the left outside of Labour. If they are taking these places for granted, we are going to win. If we unite as the left then we can win even bigger. Bring it on." Is Labour in danger? There is some cause for Labour to be worried. It is haemorrhaging votes to both the right and the left after a tumultuous first year in office (13% to Reform UK, 10% to the Greens and 10% to the Lib Dems, according to an Ipsos poll in September). Many Labour MPs feel the prime minister has spent too much energy trying to "out Reform Reform" with a focus on immigration, and he needs to do more to win back moderate and progressive voters that will be gathering at TWT this weekend. One fed-up MP told Sky News it was a shame TWT had decided to branch away from Labour, but not a surprise. "This was something that was on the cards for a while, a parting of the ways, it's another thing to show what's happening with the direction of the party." He said in previous years the festival "was full of people for the first time in their life who were excited about politics and had a leadership looking at how it could challenge the biggest issues in our country". "Debates could be heated but it was always a place for intellectual discussion and that inside the Labour Party is now dead." But he said the party ultimately had bigger things to worry about than TWT, with a budget round the corner and potentially catastrophic local elections in May. "I don't think it will keep Keir Starmer or Morgan McSweeney up at night."

"Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years," the Manchester United minority owner told The Business podcast. "Football is not overnight. It's three years.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺Choose the Sky Sports push notifications you want! 🔔 Arteta has gone on to justify the club's faith by turning Arsenal into consistent Premier League title challengers. But does Amorim have Manchester United on the same path to long-term success? And what do their records after 50 games in charge tell us? Results compared While Arsenal were a long way below their current level in Arteta's first 50 games between December 2019 and April 2021, their record was much better than that of Amorim's Manchester United. Arteta won 27 of his first 50 games compared to Amorim's 19, giving him a win rate of 54 per cent to Amorim's 38 per cent. Arteta lost 13 games to Amorim's 19, drawing 12 to Amorim's 10. The goals scored columns are nearly identical, with Arsenal scoring 79 times to Manchester United's 78 under Amorim. But there is a big difference in goals conceded, with Amorim's side having let in nearly 60 per cent more than Arsenal, on 76. Arsenal kept 18 clean sheets in Arteta's first 50 games, hinting at his capacity to make the side more difficult to beat. Manchester United, by contrast, have only managed eight shut-outs under Amorim. They have conceded three or more goals on nine occasions, something that only happened three times in Arteta's first 50 games at Arsenal. League positions and silverware Arteta inherited a team sitting 10th in the Premier League when he took the Arsenal job in December 2019. Manchester United were lower, in 14th, when Amorim took over at Manchester United. Arteta oversaw slight improvement relative to his starting position, although Arsenal's eighth-placed finish at the end of his first campaign, which included the interruption of the Covid pandemic, was the club's lowest since coming 10th in 1992/93. Manchester United finished even lower than the position in which Amorim found them at the end of his first season, coming 15th in a record-low for the club, with a points total of 42 to Arsenal's 56 in Arsenal's first season under Arteta. Both managers reached cup finals at the end of their first seasons. But while Arteta guided Arsenal to FA Cup success, beating Chelsea in the final having overcome Manchester City in the last four, Amorim suffered Europa League disappointment against Spurs. Arteta was unable to improve on Arsenal's eighth-placed finish in his first full season in charge, with Arsenal ending up in the same spot in the table. They were ninth at the time of his 50th game, a 3-0 loss to Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in April 2021, only a place higher than Manchester United's position at Amorim's half-century. Formations used Arteta showed pragmatism in winning the FA Cup, moving away from his favoured 4-2-3-1, which has subsequently evolved into a 4-3-3, and instead using a back three, a change he said was intended to make the most of the players at his disposal at that time. Amorim has taken a more rigid approach, sticking to his favoured 3-4-2-1, despite external pressure to adapt his system. While Arteta showed variation in his starting formations in his first 50 games, Amorim has used a back three consistently, the only variation from 3-4-2-1 being 3-4-3, which he has used five times. Personnel compared Bukayo Saka is the only player from Arteta's first Arsenal line-up still at the club this season. The England international was used as a left-back in their 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Boxing Day in 2019. There has been turnover at Manchester United under Amorim too, albeit in a shorter time frame, with five players who started the 1-1 draw with Ipswich in his first game in November of last year having gone, either on loan or permanently, in Andre Onana, Jonny Evans, Christian Eriksen, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford. The pace of change was relatively slow initially for Arteta at Arsenal, although he was able to include Gabriel Magalhaes, Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey in his team for the defeat to Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in his 50th game. Amorim enjoyed a win to mark his half-century as Manchester United beat Sunderland 2-0 last weekend with a starting line-up which included three new signings. Transfer spending Arsenal's transfer spending has ramped up in recent years, culminating in this summer's record £257m spend. But the club's outlay was more modest over the course of Arteta's first 50 games. Arteta mostly had to rely on loan signings and free transfers, with spending totalling only £81.5m across two transfer windows. Partey and Gabriel were the only players signed for significant fees. Manchester United have brought in fewer players under Amorim but spent considerably more in transfer fees, with Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Senne Lemmens, Diego Leon and Ayden Heaven arriving for a combined £232.4m, dwarfing Arsenal's figure in Arteta's first two transfer windows. As for sales, Arsenal only received a fee for one player during Arteta's first 50 games, with Emiliano Martinez sold to Aston Villa for £17m. Manchester United have been more successful on that front, recouping £61.7m from the sales of Garnacho and Antony. So what's the verdict?
