Manchester United will launch a Premier League campaign on Sunday, with Arsenal closing the weekend with Old Trafford with Old Water Supplies. Reuben Amorim has a series of key decisions against Mikel Arteta’s side, ranging from goalkeeper to striker and multiple territories between them.
Express Sport is running through the potential United lineup against the Gunners, with both clubs competing for a marker for the upcoming season.
Man UTD predicted Xi vs Arsenal (3-4-3)
Goalkeeper – Onana
Andre Onana didn’t play a single game during the preseason after suffering an early hamstring injury in training, but he is expected to be the right person to face Arsenal.
His inclusion is a risk, as Cameroonians don’t stimulate confidence in perfect fitness. He is fortunate that he hasn’t even been persuaded by his backup Altay Bayindir.
Defense – Yoro, de ligt, Shaw
Amorim has a dilemma in the centre of his back three, with Mattigis de Liguto and Harry Maguire fighting for the departure berth. He was able to invest in the future by choosing the former.
Rennie Yoro will be one of the names on the team sheet throughout the season. He’s bulky throughout the summer and appears ready to bolster his reputation among the world’s most exciting young defenders.
Luke Shaw is set to launch the campaign as United’s first-choice left central back, with Lisandro Martinez continuing to recover from a knee ligament injury in February.

Midfield – Amado, Casemiro, Fernandez, Dolgue
Diogo Dalot could potentially face Arsenal due to the fact that visitors are hoping to see more balls. However, the preseason suggests that Amado is the top candidate for Amorim’s right-wing back position.
Patrick Dolgue appears ready for a big season with the left-wing back, with the young Dane licking his lips thinking of a 6-foot-5-inch presence ahead.
As United are looking for an athletic midfielder, Casemiro will start before Manuel Ugarte along with Captain Bruno Fernandez. It is a blatant realm of weakness.

Attacks – Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko
Amorim splashed the entire summer budget by overhauling the attack, allowing fans to display all three new arrivals against Arsenal.
Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha almost certainly have a 10 position behind two ‘No. Strikers.
Benjamin Sesco was able to nod to his Premier League debut as Rasmus Hojlund and Match Fitness’s Joshua Zirk shorted out from Amorim’s plan.
