Manchester United faces uncertainty ahead of their clash with Arsenal this weekend, with key players such as Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay battling fitness concerns, according to Evening Standard.
Manager Erik ten Hag hinted at Fernandes' possible return, stating he is "fighting" to feature, while McTominay's status remains uncertain despite hopes for a swift recovery.
The absence of Fernandes and McTominay in the recent defeat to Crystal Palace exposed United's need for reinforcements, with only Sofyan Amrabat available on the bench.
However, neither Amrabat nor Amad Diallo seem to be trusted to start games by the manager.
Although updates are expected from ten Hag during his pre-game press conference, little indication has been given regarding the fitness of the absent players.
Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial's return to training is anticipated, but their long-term absences require patience.
Defensive woes continue for United, with Harry Maguire sidelined due to injury and a lack of options at the back.
Jonny Evans and Casemiro may be forced to fill the void against Arsenal unless reinforcements like Amrabat or Lisandro Martinez become available.
Despite initial doubts surrounding Marcus Rashford's recovery from injury, he now appears set for a comeback, providing a potential boost for United ahead of the crucial fixture.
