TEAM NEWS
United have carried a couple of injury concerns through the summer, but there has been positive news on that front in recent days.
Both Andre Onana and Lisandro Martinez have been pictured working their way back to fitness at our revamped Carrington training base, the former vocal about his hope to be fit to start the Arsenal game, but the opener is likely to be too soon for the latter.
Joshua Zirkzee and Noussair Mazraoui did not appear in the American leg of Tour 2025, presented by Snapdragon, nor in the Fiorentina friendly back in M16, so updates on that pair, plus any further team news, may be delivered by Amorim in his pre-match press conference on Friday.
The boss could also confirmed whether new arrival Benjamin Sesko is likely to be involved.
The visitors are kicking off the season with a relatively clean bill of health. Gabriel Jesus is the most notable absentee, as he is still recovering from a knee injury sustained in our visit to the Emirates Stadium in the Emirates FA Cup back in January.
Leandro Trossard is the only other concern, having picked up a slight groin strain in the Gunners' pre-season meeting with Tottenham Hotspur, but Mikel Arteta hopes to have him back available for selection for Sunday.
