Team News: Leandro Trossard on bench for Arsenal against Manchester United

Trossard on bench for Arsenal against Man United

Leandro Trossard has been named on the bench for Arsenal's Premier League clash with Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

The Belgian attacker completed a £26m move from Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday, and the Gunners managed to get the deal over the line by the 12pm registration deadline.

As a result, Trossard will be able to make his debut at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon, but he has unsurprisingly been named on the bench as Mikel Arteta sticks with an unchanged XI.

Eddie Nketiah continues to lead the line in the absence of Gabriel Jesus, while Bukayo Saka is aiming to score for the third game in a row against the Red Devils.

However, both Mohamed Elneny and Cedric Soares have missed out on places in the squad again, with the former nursing a knee injury, while Cedric - who is in talks over a move to Fulham - has a muscular problem.

As for Man United, Scott McTominay is given the nod alongside Christian Eriksen in midfield with Casemiro suspended, while Burnley loanee Wout Weghorst starts up front, with Diogo Dalot and Anthony Martial not involved due to injury.

Arsenal starting lineup: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah

Arsenal subs: Turner, Tomiyasu, Holding, Tierney, Lokonga, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Marquinhos, Trossard

Man United starting lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; McTominay, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst

Man United subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Fred, Mainoo, Pellistri, Elanga, Garnacho
