Manchester United and Arsenal have named their teams for Sunday’s Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim has resisted the temptation to thrust in new signing Benjamin Sesko from the start, with the forward named on the bench for Manchester United. However, fellow recruits Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo make their debuts for the Red Devils.
There’s no place in the squad for Andre Onana, who is yet to return from a hamstring injury. Altay Bayindir deputises in goals.
Rasmus Hojlund is also excluded from the matchday squad as Manchester United look to offload the forward.
For Arsenal, Viktor Gyokeres makes his first appearance. The Swedish striker, who played under Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim at Sporting Lisbon, leads the line for the visitors. Martin Zubimendi also makes his Arsenal debut in central midfield.
In defence, William Saliba partners Gabriel, and Riccardo Calafiori starts ahead of Myles Lewis-Skelly at left-back.
Manchester United XI: Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Mount, Cunha.
Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Martinelli, Gyokeres.
