The Red Devils will be keen to build on the momentum when they host Arsenal in what promises to be a Premier League cracker.

Team News

Erik ten Hag will have a nearly fully fit squad to select from when they take on Arsenal, including Antony's summer arrival.

The Brazilian winger is, however, unlikely to be handed a start and only afforded a place on the bench.

His namesake, Anthony Martial, represents the only injury concern for Ten Hag, with the Frenchman currently battling a hamstring injury.

As such, there is every chance Cristiano Ronaldo could start in attack after sitting out the majority of United's most recent fixtures.

Meanwhile, in the Arsenal camp, Arteta is facing major injury issues which have hit his camp, with a number of key players set to miss the Old Trafford trip.

The midfield duo of Mohamed Elney and Thomas Partey remain sidelined with thigh injuries, while Reiss Nelson is a long-term absentee.

Elsewhere, Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsedale will need to be assessed after picking knocks against Aston Villa.

Possible starting XI

Manchester United:

De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Casemiro, Eriksen; Sancho, Fernandes, Ronaldo; Rashford

Arsenal:

Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Lokonga; Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli; Jesus
