Man United are in 14th place in the Premier League table and have been eliminated from the FA Cup this season. That means their last chance to save the season is the Europa League title. But everyone understands that it is a very difficult task considering the team's performance at the moment.
Coach Ruben Amorim and his team have only won 2 of their last 7 matches in all competitions, against the opponents competing for relegation, Ipswich Town and Leicester City.
The Red Devils have conceded more than one goal in six of their last seven games at Old Trafford in the top flight. They have also not won back-to-back Premier League games. Being stuck in 14th place has left fans frustrated and dissatisfied with what Amorim is doing.
On the other side, Arsenal are currently second in the rankings, but are 16 points behind Liverpool. It is very likely that the Gunners will have a third consecutive second place when the gap is too big.
However, the good news is that they have overcome the attack crisis, after defeating PSV Eindhoven 7-1 in midweek. Arsenal became the first team to score 7 away goals in a knockout match in the Champions League.
The Gunners are confident, having won against Man United in all four Premier League meetings. But the defeat in the third round of the FA Cup on penalties in January will bring hope to Amorim and his team in this reception.
Expected lineup
Manchester United: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Lindelof; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Zirkzee, Garnacho; Hojlund
Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard
