Man United receive huge double injury boost ahead of Arsenal clash

Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford have been included in the Manchester United squad for the Premier League clash against Arsenal.

The duo arrived at the Lowry Hotel with the squad on Monday afternoon, despite manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently casting doubt on their availability.

Solskjaer said in his pre-match press conference that he "wouldn't put my life" on Rashford recovering from a groin injury for the Arsenal game, while Pogba has apparently shaken off an ankle knock.

However, it's not all good news for United. There was no sign of Luke Shaw or Aaron Wan-Bissaka with the squad, while Anthony Martial is also set to miss out on the match.

Premier League preview: Manchester United v Arsenal

United's 17-year-old academy striker Mason Greenwood looks likely to play at least some part in the match after starting and scoring in both the Europa League against FK Astana and the Carabao Cup against Rochdale, in which he also scored in the penalty shootout.

With no Shaw or Wan-Bissaka, it could be something of a makeshift defence for Solskjaer. His options at full-back are likely to be Ashley Young and Marcos Rojo, with Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof set to start in the centre of defence.

Confirmed squad : David de Gea, Sergio Romero, Lee Grant; Victor Lindelof, Axel Tuanzebe, Harry Maguire, Marcos Rojo, Brandon Williams, Ashley Young; Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic, Andreas Pereria, Fred, Paul Pogba; Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Daniel James, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood
