Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said he is "expecting a lot" from Sofyan Amrabat after handing him a rare start against Arsenal at Old Trafford this afternoon.
Christian Eriksen started the 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday night but has made way to accommodate Amrabat's incision. Casemiro is set to start at centre-back once again.Ten Hag, speaking ahead of kick-off, has confirmed he has made the decision to reinstate the Fiorentina loanee to the starting line-up because he will strengthen United's chances of winning the ball back in midfield.
"Arsenal are a team who are strong in possession, so we have to make interceptions there and make the middle a bit stronger. We need our out-of-possession game to be very aggressive and anticipating. I am expecting a lot from him."
