Which new Manchester United signings could face Arsenal?
Arsenal are set to face Manchester United in a friendly on Saturday night, with one of Erik ten Hag’s new signings likely to feature.
Manchester United have had a busy summer so far, spending almost £90m on new signings and preparing to invest more before the transfer window closes.
Arsenal are likely to get a look at one of those signings on Saturday night, with centre-back Leny Yoro available for selection.
The former Lille defender has already featured for United once in pre-season so far, starting and playing 45 minutes in their friendly win over Rangers last week.
With another week of training under his belt, Yoro may now be ready for an hour or more against Arsenal.
United have also spent a significant sum on Joshua Zirkzee, but the former Bologna striker is unavailable to Erik ten Hag following his participation at Euro 2024 with the Netherlands.
Though Zirkzee only played a total of four minutes in the entire tournament, the Netherlands made it all the way to the semi-final stage. The striker was still in action with his country on July 10th.
As such, Zirkzee isn’t expected to join United’s tour of the United States.
Manchester United have been linked with a few other players this summer, including Noussair Mazraoui of Bayern Munich.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is increasingly expected to depart, with West Ham United interested and the right-back’s current club open to doing business before his deal is up in 2025.
But for the time being, Wan-Bissaka is likely to play against Arsenal on Saturday, with neither deal done yet.
