How Manchester United should line up vs Arsenal in Premier League fixture

Manchester United take on Arsenal at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

United defeated Leicester 1-0 on Thursday, which means Erik ten Hag's side have now won three consecutive matches. United began the new season with two humiliating defeats, but recent performances have been encouraging.

Jadon Sancho scored the Reds' matchwinner versus Leicester at the King Power Stadium and United's back four impressed again. Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are building a strong relationship and they were key in recording another clean sheet.

However, Arsenal head into this match as the only side with a perfect record in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta signed Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City this summer and both signings have made an immediate impact in North London.

Here's how our writers think United should line up:

Samuel Luckhurst

Casemiro and Ronaldo have to come in. United have won their last three matches with the same starting XI but were unconvincing at Southampton and so casual at times against Leicester Casemiro was sent on before the hour.

Anthony Elanga puts in a shift but is not as reliable putting in a cross or the ball in the back of the net. United are not in prolific form, so it is logical to recall the game's greatest goalscorer who has claimed two-goal hauls against Arsenal at the ages of 19 and 36. Gabriel and William Saliba would much rather have Marcus Rashford to marshal than Ronaldo.

The back five obviously picks itself.

Tyrone Marshall

Changes are likely after the game on Thursday night but they shouldn't come at the back, where United have performed admirably in the last three
