Manchester United vs Arsenal confirmed lineups as new signing Antony starts for Erik ten Hag’s side

Arsenal will be hoping to maintain the 100% record in early season of the 2022-2023 Premier League season as they make a trip to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.

For United, it has been a rollercoaster first five games in charge for new manager Erik ten Hag, but his volatile side look to have turned the corner after a difficult start to the season.

Latest signing from Ajax Antony starts in United’s XI as the Brazilian makes his debut in the Premier League.

The Red Devils have bounced back from damaging defeats to Brighton and Brentford to open the season with three straight victories over Liverpool, Southampton and, on Thursday evening, Leicester.

Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are in fine form too – the division’s best in fact – and top the fledgling Premier League table after a perfect five wins out of five.

In-form pair Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli were once again on the scoresheet in midweek as Aston Villa were comfortably seen off, but the trip to Old Trafford – to face a home side with renewed confidence – represents their toughest test so far.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Malacia, Martinez, Varane, McTominay, Eriksen, Fernandes, Antony, Sancho, Rashford

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Xhaka, Lokonga, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus
