Man United went down 2-1 at the hands of Sheffield United, a club who are at the bottom of the Premier League table and they must now redeem themselves against Arsenal.
The Red Devils travel to London on Saturday and Solskjaer’s men will need to get back to winning ways if they wish to maintain their push for the league title.
Arsenal have won five of their last six Premier League matches but Man United have been in immaculate away form over the last year, winning 12 of their last 14 away matches.
Ole’s men will go into this game as the slight favourites but after their loss against Sheffield United, United will not be given the same amount of respect by Arsenal which they would have commanded after that 3-2 win over Liverpool.
Man United team news vs Arsenal:
David De Gea made an error which led to United going 1-0 down on Wednesday but he’s still a fair bit away from being dethroned by Dean Henderson.
Eric Bailly did not feature against Sheffield after he took a bang in training and there’s a doubt if he will be fit in time to face Arsenal. If Bailly is not available then Lindelof will play in central defence alongside Maguire.
Alex Telles started at left-back against Sheffield but the summer signing will make way for Luke Shaw on Saturday.
Scott McTominay and Fred should both return to the starting XI to face Arsenal and just like Solskjaer does for the big games, Paul Pogba will be deployed on the left wing.
Anthony Martial had a pathetic outing against the Blades but still managed to remain on the pitch for the whole 90 minutes. But at the Emirates, the Frenchman will undoubtedly start on the bench with Edinson Cavani leading the line.
Bruno Fernandes failed to impress in midweek but the Portuguese will keep his place in the starting line-up meaning Van de Beek, once again, remains on the bench.
Rashford also had a poor outing against Wilder’s side but the England international will remain in the starting XI against Arsenal.
