Antony And Casemiro To Start, Elanga And McTominay Out: United’s Predicted XI To Take On Arsenal

Manchester United’s performance against Leicester midweek would have pleased manager Erik ten Hag. While there are still a lot of things to improve upon, the Red Devils will head into Sunday’s clash against Arsenal with renewed confidence.

David De Gea is expected to start in goal at Old Trafford, while the same back four could also be picked, with Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia all looking impressive during recent runouts.

There could be a change in midfield, though. Casemiro is a big game player and, with Arsenal short of options in midfield, the Brazilian could help United dominate the ball. Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes will likely keep their places.


Ten Hag seems to be pondering whether to throw Antony in straight away after only a few training sessions. The £86m signing could come in for Anthony Elanga to make a front three with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Face Arsenal:

De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia, Eriksen, Casemiro, Fernandes, Antony, Rashford, Sancho
