The early start presents United with an opportunity to respond to the poor performance at Liverpool on Tuesday and maintain an unbeaten league run in London that stretches back to 1 January 2020, when today's opponents beat us 2-0. Bruno's fellow Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo spearheads the team after missing the Anfield game due to compassionate leave, with Scott McTominay fit enough to play in midfield after being an unused substitute on Merseyside. The Reds must win in the capital to retain any real hope of making next season's Champions League but meet a Gunners side high on confidence again after a brilliant 4-2 win at Chelsea in midweek ended a run of three successive defeats.

Man Utd: Ten Hag could lure "sensational" £67m star to Old Trafford (GiveMeSport)

One of ten Hag’s first tasks when he arrives in the red half of Manchester will surely be to sort out the club’s striker situation. It’s claimed that Benfica are ‘open to a sale’ and are expected to demand around €70 million (£58.2m) for their prized asset, with initial conversations expected to conclude in the coming weeks.
