Manchester United U21s vs Arsenal LIVE Premier League 2 updates and Zidane Iqbal latest

Manchester United's Under-21s welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford in the Premier League 2 on Friday night.

United were defeated 6-0 in the Manchester derby two weeks ago and manager Mark Dempsey will be expecting a response from his side, especially when considering that Premier League 2 loss came after a defeat against Chelsea.

The Reds had gone eight games undefeated prior to those poor results and they'll be hopeful of a bounce to form against Arsenal at Old Trafford, where a limited number of tickets have been sold for the contest.

As a result of injuries and Casemirio's suspension, Zidane Iqbal and Kobbie Mainoo are likely to included in the first- team squad to face Newcastle on Sunday, but both of those young midfielders could still feature against Arsenal. Brandon Williams, who could leave at the end of the season, might also make the starting line up.

The 17-year-old joined United last summer from Stevenage Town on a scholarship deal, but became eligible for professional terms when he celebrated his birthday last month.

Taking to social media on Tuesday, Harrison confirmed that he has now signed a professional contract at the club as part of his next stage of development.
