5 rookies appeared, Man Utd lost 3 important stars when facing Arsenal

Sources from Manchester Evening News show that Man Utd has a strong squad before the confrontation with Arsenal.

Rasmus Hojlund joined Man United in a £72 million deal from Atalanta in the summer but missed the start of the season due to a back injury.

The 20-year-old returned to training last week and Erik ten Hag confirmed that the striker is available to play against Arsenal.

Sergio Reguilon is also about to make his Man United debut after completing a loan contract from Tottenham on the last day of the summer transfer window.

In addition, the Man United first team coming to London also includes Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. Similar is the case of Jonny Evans.

On the contrary, Jadon Sancho and Scott McTominay were suddenly absent. Sancho has not started a single match in the Premier League this season, and has only appeared as a substitute in all three matches. Meanwhile, McTominay is said to intend to leave.

Currently, Sofyan Amrabat has not completed the procedure so he cannot register to compete in time, and Mason Mount is injured and has to miss 4-6 weeks.

List of Man Utd players marching to London:

Goalkeepers: Onana, Bayindir, Vitek

Defenders: Martinez, Lindelof, Maguire, Evans, Dalot, Reguilon, Wan-Bissaka

Midfielders: Fernandes, Casemiro, Eriksen, Hannibal, Gore

Forwards: Rashford, Hojlund, Antony, Garnacho, Martial, Pellistri

Fans of the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United can now see their club’s chances of going all the way in Europe this season.

However, one club is a massive favourite to go on and win the Champions League at Wembley Stadium in June.

According to the supercomputer, holders Manchester City have a 44.2 per cent chance of reaching the final again.

The Treble winners have also been given a 32.1 per cent probability of successfully defending their crown.

It comes after City were drawn in a relatively easy group on paper, consisting of RB Leipzig, Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade.

Arsenal have a 15 per cent chance of reaching the final, along with the fourth highest probability of qualifying for the knockout stages.

The Gunners are only behind City, Bayern Munich and Barcelona as they make their Champions League return after six years away.

Mikel Arteta’s side will take on Sevilla, PSV and Lens in the group stage.

Manchester United have been given a slightly lower probability of making it to the Wembley final at 9.8 per cent.

They are also only predicted to come second in their group behind Harry Kane’s Bayern.

The German champions are second favourites to reach the final at 21.8 per cent.

Despite being drawn in the group of death alongside PSG, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan, Newcastle have been tipped to advance to the last 16.

The supercomputer has made the Magpies second favourites in their group behind PSG with a 55.1 per cent chance of progression.

That’s despite being a Pot 4 team.

Newcastle also have a seven per cent probability of reaching the final.

Celtic are the only Scottish representatives in the group stage after Rangers’ play-off elimination.

Drawn with Atletico Madrid, Lazio and Feyenoord in group E, they have been given just a 0.9 per cent probability of making the final.

The group stage will begin on September 19, with the full set of fixtures released on Saturday morning.
