Arsenal enjoyed a much more pleasant night than Manchester United on Thursday as they booked their ticket to the Europa League last 16 with a narrow 1-0 victory over FC Zurich.
Kieran Tierney scored the goal to send the Gunners through as group winners, unlike United, who'll now take part in a play-off round against a side demoted from the Champions League next February in a bid to continue their run in the competition.
Now knowing their schedule for the early part of 2023, Mikel Arteta and Arsenal's bigwigs can look further towards the future, with transfer plans for the January window reportedly in place already. Sitting top of the Premier League with just two games to go before the season pauses for the World Cup, the Gunners will want to capitalise on their new-found success in the transfer market.
