BBC Sport reported that the Manchester outfit had to come from two goals down to see off Nottingham Forest, albeit controversially.

Man United's growing injury list

Ten Hag will have more than his team's form to worry about ahead of United's trip to the Emirates, with the Old Trafford dwellers currently having a number of players on their treatment table.

According to Manchester Evening News, Raphael Varane is the latest addition to the already growing list of injured players just three games into the new season.

The publication reports that the Red Devils are yet to reveal the cause of the Frenchman's injury.

However, it has since been confirmed that he will be out for a 'few weeks', meaning he will play no role in the Sunday cracker.

7. Tom Heaton

Mount misses sitter

Sports Brief also reported on how Mason Mount missed a sitter early in the game against RC Lens.

Having started the game brightly, United got a brilliant chance in the 15th minute, and it came to their £55 million signing.

After some intricate passing, United youngster Alejandro Garnacho found himself through on goal, but the angle was a bit tight and he decided to square the ball to Mount, who had also made the run forward.
