Manchester United v Arsenal: match preview

Manchester United must beat Arsenal at Old Trafford to have any hope of finishing third and avoiding a qualifier to enter the Champions League group stage
  
  


For Manchester United to have any chance of finishing third they must beat Arsenal, who have a match in hand, with Louis van Gaal saying: “We can put pressure on Arsenal and that is what we want to do on Sunday.” However, Arsène Wenger has a settled side while Van Gaal will be without Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Luke Shaw, and Jonny Evans and Rafael Da Silva are doubts, so United’s task is made even more difficult.
