Arsenal handed massive double boost for Man Utd clash with new signing set to feature
Arsenal stars Leandro Trossard and Martin Zubimendi had been doubts for the Gunners' season opener against Manchester United on Sunday but Mikel Arteta has provided a hugely positive update Mikel Arteta is confident that both Leondro Trossard and new signing Martin Zubimendi WILL be available against Manchester United. The Gunners begin their new Premier League season with a trip to Old Trafford on Sunday and there've been doubts over whether the pair would feature. Trossard, 30, missed Arsenal 's final two friendlies with a muscle injury while 26-year-old Zubimendi wasn't seen in any images from the club's media day ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Spain international Zubimendi has been signed to take Arsenal to the next level and improve their midfield. The playmaker cost £55.8million from Real Sociedad, making him the Gunners' second-most expensive signing of the summer transfer window. And it's good news for fans wanting to see him in competitive action for the first time, having shown glimpses of his quality in pre-season. "Yes, he had a great integration," Arteta told reporters when asked if Zubimendi would be available. "As everybody can see this immediately, he's had a very big impact on the team. I'm really happy and he will be fit. Trossard, who's been linked with a move away this summer, is expected to join him in Arsenal's matchday squad. "Yeah, I think he's much better," Arteta added. "I think he will be able to train again tomorrow (Saturday) and if that's the case, he will be fit." The Gunners manager will have numerous difficult decisions to make when he selects his starting XI. The most noteworthy is who'll get the nod up front? Viktor Gyokeres has arrived in a deal which could rise to £63.7m but Kai Havertz is back in contention after missing most of the second half of last term through injury. Asked whether it's a fight between Gyokeres and Havertz for the No.9 position, Arteta replied: "It's always good. "I play with 11 players, there are going to be some players on the bench that are going to be used, some others that cannot be used, some players that we're going to have to leave in the stands. That's the next level that we're going to face, something that we probably haven't faced before. "I've heard a lot that you have two players per position, well we have three and four because there are players that can play in different positions as well. It's going to be about earning the right to play, to compete and when you don't have the chance to do that, to cooperate in the right way with any teammate to improve the level. "It's going to happen to all of them because the season is going to be so demanding that the first week is going to be a little bit different. But the moment we start to play three times a week, it's going to flow in a really natural way."

One of the most fascinating elements of my extended chat with Ruben Amorim in the United States this summer was his admission that he set off for games last season fearing Manchester United would Amorim has promised United fans his side's performances and results will be better this season – admittedly they could hardly be worse – I was intrigued to know his feelings ahead of Sunday's Old Trafford encounter with was not an unqualified response. Amorim could have said it will definitely be better - but he didn' also referred to "four weeks" as the time he has had to work with his squad, when it is actually six – for the overall Amorim gave the impression of someone who is in a far better place when it comes to managing his group of players than he was during his tortuous bedding-in process."It is hard to know because we cannot change everything in four weeks but we are better," he said. "I know that we are training harder, are training better and are more prepared to cope with the demands of the game."Step by step we are going to be a better team. I am more confident."
