Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said he is "expecting a lot" from Sofyan Amrabat after handing him a rare start against Arsenal at Old Trafford this afternoon.

The Moroccan has been included in the starting line-up for the first time since the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup at the end of February.

He is poised to join forces with Kobbie Mainoo and Scott McTominay, who is sporting the captain's armband, in midfield. Christian Eriksen started the 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday night but has made way to accommodate Amrabat's incision.

Casemiro is set to start at centre-back once again.
