Manchester United could have two new first teamers in their line up vs Arsenal

As strong as possible?

United can field a competitive XI against Arsenal even without their latter stage European Championship and Copa America participants.

Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Marcus Rashford and Antony are yet to figure in pre-season but Maguire confirmed he is due to play at the SoFi Stadium. Rashford is the obvious left-sided winger to start ahead of Jadon Sancho.

Manager Erik ten Hag could name an XI of Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Yoro, Murray, Casemiro, McTominay, Mount, Amad, Rashford and Hojlund.

Amad's opportunity?

Amad came on against Arsenal in New Jersey last July and lasted 14 minutes before he sustained a serious knee injury. One year and one day on, he would be the fans' favourite to start against the same side in Los Angeles.

Hojlund at the tip of the arrow?

United invested £72million to sign Hojlund and 16 goals was a decent return in his first season but he has to break the 20 barrier in his second.

Midfield issues?

Arsenal will have Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard to pit against United's
