Lineups for Preseason Friendly: Arsenal vs Man United's Starting 11

Arsenal and Manchester United face off in preseason clash in USA.

The preseason tour for Arsenal and Manchester United continues with an exciting match at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Both teams have had successful starts to their summer schedule, with United securing victories over Leeds United and Lyon, while Arsenal dominated an MLS All Star team with a 5-0 win on July 20.

This fixture marks the next phase of preseason for both managers, Mikel Arteta and Erik ten Hag, as they aim for a strong start to the 2023/24 campaign. The match will take place at the MetLife Stadium on Saturday, July 22 at 5 p.m. local time.

For viewers in the USA, the match will be televised on ESPN (English) and ESPN Deportes (Spanish), both of which can be streamed on Fubo, with a free trial available for new users. Fans from around the world can access live streaming coverage of the game on Arsenal.com and MUTV. MUTV is also available as a TV channel for subscribers.

Arsenal fans can look forward to seeing their new signing, Rice, in action, as he made a cameo appearance off the bench in the match against the MLS All Stars. Onana, on the other hand, is not expected to feature in this game due to delayed transfer talks. However, another new signing, Mason Mount, is likely to start.

The projected starting lineups for both teams are as follows:

Arsenal (4-3-3, right to left): Ramsdale (GK) -- White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior -- Odegaard, Rice, Havertz -- Saka, Jesus, Nketiah

Manchester United (4-2-3-1, right to left): Heaton (GK) -- Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Fernandez -- Mejbri, Fred -- Diallo, Mount, Antony - Sancho

Arteta will prioritize the health of his players and will not take risks with those carrying injuries. As a result, Leandro Trossard, the Belgian international, is expected to miss out on the match due to a muscle strain.

It promises to be an exciting clash between two top English clubs as they continue their preparations for the upcoming season. Fans can expect an entertaining and competitive match at the MetLife Stadium.
