How Manchester United could line up against Arsenal

How Man United could line up against Arsenal

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo will be back in the squad for Saturday's Premier League clash with top-four rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

The 37-year-old tragically lost his newborn son a few days ago and did not take part in Tuesday's 4-0 defeat to Liverpool, but he is set to travel to the capital with his teammates.

Ralf Rangnick is still working without Fred, Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw due to injury, and Paul Pogba has joined the trio in the treatment room after suffering a calf injury at Anfield, which could rule him out for the rest of the season.

The United boss may be able to welcome Raphael Varane back from a knock, and the French World Cup winner could be thrown straight back into the first XI alongside Victor Lindelof, with Harry Maguire reportedly set to start on the bench after a bomb threat at his home.

Phil Jones will surely drop out of the side after a rare start and half-time withdrawal in midweek, while Alex Telles could also be reintroduced ahead of Diogo Dalot.

Pogba's spot in the middle will be filled by Scott McTominay following his recent recovery from a foot injury, and the lack of engine room options should see Nemanja Matic hold his place.

If Ronaldo is in the right headspace to lead the line, Marcus Rashford will surely make way, with Anthony Elanga, Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho featuring behind the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Man United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Telles; Matic, McTominay; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo
