John Egan returns from suspension and takes the place of Ethan Ampadu while there’s no debut for Rhian Brewster whose move from Liverpool wasn’t completed in time for the striker to go straight into the side.

Here’s a selection of views from United fans on social media after the team was revealed.

@MiserableBlader said: “Looks like we're sitting deep then to counter @Arsenal's strength. They do have some trickery in whatever team they do play so it could be a dangerous game. Hopefully Burke can exploit their poor defence but I'd love to be taking it off them in their penalty area!”

@Brown_Dog74 added: “Happy with that. Love Flecky, but Osborne played well so keeps the shirt. Need Lunny and his energy today too.”

@BunningRichard posted: “Thought Ampuda might have played centre mid today and moved berge into the lundstram role. Unlucky to miss out he was very good last week.”

@Kahleb20 said: “Don’t understand these two striker partnerships we seem too be going for, neither of them seem too be working and honestly I think Burke would have an easier time of it with mcburnie next too him, he wins a lot of headers and those headers could end up with a few chances for him.”

And @SteamedStearman said: “Feel sorry for Norwood, been an instrumental player for us in the last 2 seasons and dropped without putting a foot wrong.”
