Jonny Evans is set to continue his strong form in the lineup, especially with Harry Maguire yet to play in pre-season.
This makes Evans the likely choice to start, given his match fitness.
At left-back, Sam Murray is expected to start, given Tyrell Malacia’s return to training and Luke Shaw’s absence.
Murray has been preferred in previous friendlies, likely due to his greater experience compared to younger players like Harry Amass.
Casemiro will continue in the starting lineup, as Manchester United’s search for a new defensive midfielder continues.
Although Scott McTominay is back and could be an option, Casemiro’s role seems secure.
Toby Collyer has been making a strong case for a place in the team, suggesting that a competitive debut might be in his near future.
Amad Diallo, fresh from a stunning goal against Rangers, is expected to start again on the right wing.
His recent performances, including his finish to last season, solidify his position as a key player.
Mason Mount has been showing positive signs in pre-season, building confidence and match fitness.
With Bruno Fernandes still away, Mount is likely to start, especially after assisting Diallo’s goal against Rangers.
Marcus Rashford is expected to return from a minor injury, and manager Erik ten Hag has expressed confidence in Rashford.
The player will be looking to regain his form.
Rasmus Hojlund, aiming to improve on his performance after a challenging Euro 2024, is likely to start against Arsenal.
With Ethan Wheatley also on the tour, Hojlund will probably be integrated back into the team to sharpen his readiness for upcoming matches like the Community Shield.
