Manchester United must dust themselves off quickly as they return to Premier League action against Nottingham Forest this weekend.
Ruben Amorim suffered his first defeat as United boss on Wednesday at Arsenal with his side undone by the Gunners’ devastating set piece routines.
The Portuguese rotated his side that night with Amad Diallo, Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee all starting on the bench despite all starring in the 4-0 win over Everton last weekend.
Alejandro Garnacho started in north London on Wednesday but a quiet display did little to justify him keeping his place this weekend if rotation is the order of the day again as expected.
Amorim meanwhile will have a decision to make up top with Rasmus Hojlund also struggling to make an impact, albeit with little help isolated up front on his own for much of the game in north London.
United will have Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo available again after serving suspensions midweek.
Leny Yoro meanwhile came off the bench to make his competitive debut having recovered from the fractured metatarsal suffered in pre-season.

The teenager showed moments of real promise, dropped into a role on the right of the back three to deal with the one-on-one threat of Leandro Trossard.
While Amorim has stressed the importance of exercising caution with those returning from injury, Yoro will hope for more minutes this weekend.
How United could line up on Saturday…
Luke Shaw meanwhile is facing another spell on the sidelines.
The England international came off the bench to slot in on the left of the back three times under the new manager but a hamstring issue has disrupted the manager’s plans for him with no real timeline for his return as of yet.
Predicted Man XI to face Nottingham Forest
Onana, Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Amad, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot, Rashford, Fernandes, Hojlund
