The arrival of Bruno Fernandes in January of this year transformed the way Manchester United play and enabled their attacking players to show their true ability.

He has helped the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood unlock their true potential and score goals at will. It was therefore no surprise to see the young trio rank amongst the most lethal attacking trios in Europe last season.

Manchester United further enhanced their attacking options by signing veteran striker Edison Cavani on a free transfer during the summer window. He has only been used as an impact substitute till now and it will be a role he will have to be content with even on Sunday against Arsenal. Anthony Martial is out of the matchday serving the last of his 3 match suspension.

It will therefore be up to Manchester United's pair of youth academy products Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood to rattle the Arsenal defense on Sunday and get the goals that will secure a vital 3 points for Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford was appearing to pick up form just before the international break and during it with a goal for England. He then got a goal against Newcastle before scoring yet another winner against PSG in the Champions League.

This week he impressed one and all; and answered his critics who had said that he needs to focus on his football with a 16 minute hattrick (his first ever) coming of the bench against RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

He is proving to be a champion both on and off the field and will be looking to continue his good work against Arsenal on Sunday.

Solskjær had to field a lot of questions related to Mason Greenwood's rumored bad behavior in his recent media interactions but the Manchester United boss threw his support behind Greenwood and shut down all rumors.

His faith was rewarded during midweek as Mason Greenwood scored his first UCL goal with his first ever shot in the competition. There was also a noticeable difference in his body language and work ethic against RB Leipzig and he will be eager to build on his performance by getting on the scoresheet against Arsenal.

Possible Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Tuanzebe, Maguire and Luke Shaw; Matic, Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes; Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood.
