Team News: Victor Lindelof in for Phil Jones as Manchester United host much-changed Arsenal

One change for Man Utd against Arsenal

Manchester United have made one change to their starting XI for Sunday's Premier League meeting against a much-changed Arsenal outfit at Old Trafford.

Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho has kept faith with the bulk of the side which beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in last week's FA Cup semi-finals, with just Phil Jones dropping out of the squad in place of Victor Lindelof.

In contrast, Arsene Wenger has made eight changes to his lineup, with an eye on Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg at Atletico Madrid.

Shkodran Mustafi, Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck, Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette have all dropped out.

Calum Chambers and Konstantinos Mavropanos start at centre-back, while Granit Xhaka will captain the side and 19-year-old defender Jordi Osei-Tutu, who is yet to make a first-team appearance, is on the bench.

Manchester United: De Gea; Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Young; Herrera, Matic, Pogba; Lingard, Sanchez; Lukaku Subs: Pereira, Rojo, Mata, Martial, Rashford, Fellaini, McTominay

Arsenal: Ospina; Bellerin, Chambers, Mavropanos, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Maitland-Niles; Iwobi, Nelson, Mkhitaryan; Aubameyang Subs: Cech, Holding, Monreal, Osei-Tutu, Willock, Welbeck, Nketiah
