Manchester United fans give verdict on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Axel Tuanzebe decision vs Arsenal

Manchester United fans think Axel Tuanzebe will impress as a make-shift right-back after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named his latest starting XI to face Arsenal tonight.

United headed into the clash with the Gunners, knowing a win could take them as high as fifth in the Premier League after an indifferent start to the season.

Part of United's form could be put down to a series of injuries that have hit the front line, with Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba returning after their own absences but Anthony Martial still absent. Mason Greenwood has scored twice in two games away from league action as Solskjaer has put his faith in youth to cover the senior injuries but he starts against Arsenal on the bench.

At the back, first-choice full-backs Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were both missing again against Arsenal, meaning another youngster - Tuanzebe - was preferred at right back and Ashley Young given a start on the left.

But fans were more focused on the inclusion of Tuanzebe, who is no stranger at playing right-back against Arsenal having made his full United debut at the Emirates in 2017.
