The Red Devils entertain their fierce rivals at Old Trafford on Sunday and ahead of the game, United have received good news on the injury front.

Bruno Fernandes , Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford could be involved, but Martinez won't be in the matchday squad this weekend.

He has just returned from a long-term injury and Ten Hag has revealed that he won't play Martinez despite his eagerness to face the Gunners.

He said: "Lisandro Martínez is desperate to play, he wanted to play vs Arsenal but it’s too early."

"I'd never gamble with a player's fitness. It's about them and their futures.

"That is the most important thing. I have to take responsibility for it."

United face a must-win situation against Arsenal or they could be trailing in the race to qualify for the Europa League or Conference League.
