Arsenal aims to continue their successful 2024 pre-season as they face Manchester United on Sunday, July 28, in the United States. After their narrow 5-4 penalty shootout win against Bournemouth in their first pre-season match, the Gunners are eager to secure another victory. This would help them maintain momentum as they prepare for the upcoming league season.
Regarding team news, Arsenal will be missing several key players for the upcoming match. Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka, David Raya, and William Saliba are absent due to their recent involvement in the latter stages of this summer's European Championship. They are currently on an extended break before rejoining the squad for the new season.
On a more positive note, Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz are expected to join the team for this match. While their participation against Manchester United isn't guaranteed, their presence could provide a boost. However, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu will miss the game due to injuries. Despite these absences, Arsenal still has a strong lineup for the pre-season fixture, with key players like Martin Odegaard, Ben White, Gabriel Jesus, Jorginho, Jurrien Timber, Jakub Kiwior, and Oleksandr Zinchenko anticipated to start.
Karl Hein is set to continue as the starting goalkeeper after strong performances in previous pre-season matches. However, Emile Smith Rowe is likely to be absent, as he is reportedly close to a move away from Arsenal.
The pre-season match against Manchester United will kick off at 1 AM Nigerian Time.
