Manchester United vs Arsenal predicted lineups, team news, analysis
The Manchester United vs Arsenal predicted lineups were tough to put together as there are plenty of options for both Ruben Amorim and Mikel Arteta heading into the new season. MORE — Man United vs Arsenal preview, how to watch live info We know both managers are very clear on their formation and style of play and a big summer of recruitment for both has seen their options strengthened considerably. Below we reveal our Manchester United vs Arsenal predicted lineups, with analysis on the possible starters and combinations. Manchester United predicted lineup —- Bayindir —- —- Yoro —- De Ligt —- Maguire —- —- Diallo —- Ugarte —- Fernandes —- Dorgu —- —— Mbeumo —— Cunha —— ——- Sesko ——- The big question mark for United is whether Andre Onana will be fit to start in goal and if not Altay Bayindir will get the nod. In central defense there are plenty of options for the three center backs and it feels like Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt are the two who will start. It is between Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Ayden Heaven for the left-sided spot and Maguire may get the nod to help deal with Viktor Gyokeres. Out wide Amad Diallo and Patrick Dorgu will be the wing backs and Bruno Fernandes will start in a deeper central midfield role. Manuel Ugarte will probably get the nod alongside Fernandes ahead of Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo due to his defensive work and mobility, but that is a toss of the coin. In attack Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha will start underneath fellow new signing Benjamin Sesko in a totally revamped forward line. Arsenal predicted lineup ——- Raya ——- —- White —- Saliba —- Gabriel —- Lewis-Skelly —- —— Odegaard —— Zubimendi —- Rice —— —— Saka —— Gyokeres —— Martinelli —— The back four is very settled for Arsenal and the only questions are whether Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori have been able to usurp Jurrien Timber and Myles Lewis-Skelly from their starting spots. Timber has been nursing an injury in preseason, so White may start. In midfield the trio of Martin Odegaard, Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice are nailed on to start with the latter given more freedom to roam as new signing Zubimendi will plug the gaps defensively and keep things ticking over. In attack Gyokeres will start up top and Bukayo Saka will be on the right. It is very likely Gabriel Martinelli will get the nod on the left as Noni Madueke continues to settle in, while Kai Havertz is the odd player out but will be the first off the bench.

Real Italian interest in the star Yves Bissouma
Juventus are interested in signing the Tottenham star. Getty Images Mali international Yves Bissouma has been left out of the squad for Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain in Udine, a dramatic match that PSG won on penalties. The player's absence increases doubts The 28-year-old's absence from this important final comes despite his status as a cornerstone of the English team, even after the arrival of coach Thomas Frank. According to the reliable newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, the player has a good relationship with his new coach. Juventus were keen on signing Swiss star Granit Xhaka, but after failing to secure the former Arsenal star, the Italian club turned their attention to another North London player, Malian Yves Bissouma. The former Everton player is attracting interest from the Italian giants to strengthen their squad for next season, especially as the team needs reinforcements in the vital position he occupies.

Ex-Liverpool star urges Arne Slot to sell key player to solve transfer headache
Ex-Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamman believes the Reds should look to sell Ibrahima Konate should they land Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi. Liverpool's summer this year has been much busier than last year, with the Reds having already signed the likes of Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong. They are also poised to land Parma defender Giovanni Leoni for an initial £26 million ($35.3 million) after Reds boss Arne Slot confirmed Liverpool had agreed a deal to sign the 18-year-old. They are also still interested in Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who has told the Magpies he has no intention of playing for them ever again, even if he is not sold this summer. However, Newcastle wants £150 million ($204 million) for Isak. They rejected a bid of £110 million ($150 million), with Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher adamant the Reds should not spend $200 million on the Swede. READ MORE: Harry Redknapp makes Premier League title prediction as Liverpool tries to retain crown READ MORE: Every word Arne Slot said on Giovanni Leoni, Marc Guehi and Liverpool's title defense Another name the Reds have been linked with this summer is Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi, who is out of contract next summer. Palace wants to sell the defender so as not to lose him on a free. There is currently a gap in the valuations between the Reds and Palace, however. Liverpool would do a deal between $41M to $48M, while Palace wants $54 million. But, should they come to an agreement over a deal for Guehi, former Liverpool midfielder Hamman believes the Reds should then look to sell Ibrahima Konate. The French defender, who rejected the Reds' first extension offer, is also out of contract next summer. "Liverpool have always been very strict and clear when these things happen," said Hamman via CasinoHawks. I wouldn't be surprised if Marc Guehi were to sign, they let Ibrahima Konate go and cash in on him. "We've seen with the big clubs, you've got to make decisions, and sometimes those decisions are not popular. We saw it at Barcelona with Marc-Andre ter Stegen, a new keeper was brought in. "We've seen it in PSG now, Gianluigi Donnarumma has been exceptional last season, in the Champions League, then they bring in a new keeper because he hasn't signed a new contract, and he's probably got to leave the club now. "I think the big clubs, the way they see it is that they offer them contracts, they see what they do. "And then once it goes past a certain deadline or a certain date, they say, 'Okay, we have to act.' And this is what they do. "I'm 100 percent certain Liverpool is looking actively, because you've got to be in control of the situation, which you wouldn't be if you just say, 'Let's try going into the season with Konate, there may be signs and in contract.' "If he doesn't, then you've got a problem because if you need somebody next season, when he's leaving on a free, everybody knows that maybe the players get a bit more expensive. "Liverpool will be looking actively for a replacement."
