Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made six changes to the starting line-up for tonight’s Premier League clash against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
The Red Devils have picked up eight points from the last four league outings and they are currently just four points behind the automatic Champions League places.
United have not won a league game at the Emirates since 2017. They have the opportunity to end the streak tonight. Ahead of the encounter, Amorim has made six changes.
Andre Onana continues in goal for the Red Devils, but there is an enforced change in the back three.
With Lisandro Martinez suspended, Harry Maguire partners Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
Diogo Dalot moves to right wing-back tonight with Tyrell Malacia getting a surprise start at left wing-back. Amad Diallo drops to the bench despite his rich vein of form.
Kobbie Mainoo (suspension) and Casemiro make way in central midfield. Manuel Ugarte has been reinstated into the starting XI and will be partnered by Bruno Fernandes.
In the final third, there is a new-look attack. Alejandro Garnacho and Mason Mount will start in the attacking midfield positions with Rasmus Hojlund leading the attack.
Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee scored twice against Everton, but they are back on the bench.
Confirmed Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1): Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Maguire; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Malacia; Mount, Garnacho; Hojlund.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have suffered a double setback in the defensive scheme of things. Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori have not recovered from their knocks and are not in the matchday squad.
Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko will replace the injured duo. Thomas Partey has been picked over Jorginho in the number six role. Gabriel Martinelli will start on the left wing ahead of Leandro Trossard.
