Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named his Manchester United starting XI to face Arsenal ahead of the crucial Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.
United can leapfrog Mikel Arteta’s men with a game in hand if they secure victory today, and confidence should be sky-high after Wednesday’s thrilling 5-0 drubbing of last year’s Champions League semi-finalists RB Leipzig.
Solskjaer has opted for the same back four that kept a clean sheet against Leipzig in midweek, with Victor Lindelof retaining his place in the side ahead of Axel Tuanzebe.
Alex Telles is currently isolating with after returning a positive coronavirus test so is unavailable for an Old Trafford debut.
Donny van de Beek is unfortunate to drop to the bench after a stellar performance against Leipzig; Bruno Fernandes comes in for the Dutchman and makes up what looks like a midfield diamond with Paul Pogba, Fred and Scott McTominay.
Hat-trick hero and man of the moment Marcus Rashford starts up front alongside Mason Greenwood, with Edinson Cavani waiting to make an impact from the bench.
