Martinez, Fernandes, Mount – Manchester United injury news and return dates before Arsenal fixture

Manchester United will be targeting a much-needed victory when they welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

United have won just two of their previous 10 Premier League games and Monday night's 4-0 thrashing at Crystal Palace marked a fourth defeat in that particular run. It means United head into this weekend's clash in eighth position.

Although victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final later this month will guarantee Europa League qualification, United are running out of time to qualify for Europe for next season via their league position.
