Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is backing his young guns to shoot down rivals Arsenal in Monday’s 9pm Premier League showdown at Old Trafford.
With strikers Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford both struggling for fitness and midfielder Paul Pogba is carrying an ankle problem, United’s options are again stretched.
After scoring in their last two games, red-hot teenage striker Mason Greenwood looks set to start, while Solskjaer is also impressed with defenders Axel Tuanzebe (21) and Brandon Williams (19).
Solskjaer says: “I see them every single day in training and we don’t have any issues with attitude, work rate or desire.
“Now it’s [a question of] can we trust ourselves? Can we find that composure?”

Meanwhile, Arsenal coach Unai Emery believes the rivalry between the two sides still makes it one of the best matches to watch.
Emery says: “It’s an amazing moment, an amazing match between these two teams in the past, the present and the future.
“I think all around the world, if someone wants to watch a football match [today], it’s this one.”
Emery will be hoping the return of centreback Rob Holding will put an end to his Arsenal side being the defensive laughing stock of the Premier League.
