United can field a competitive XI against Arsenal even without their latter stage European Championship and Copa America participants.
Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Marcus Rashford and Antony are yet to figure in pre-season but Maguire confirmed he is due to play at the SoFi Stadium. Rashford is the obvious left-sided winger to start ahead of Jadon Sancho.
Manager Erik ten Hag could name an XI of Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Yoro, Murray, Casemiro, McTominay, Mount, Amad, Rashford and Hojlund.
Amad came on against Arsenal in New Jersey last July and lasted 14 minutes before he sustained a serious knee injury. One year and one day on, he would be the fans’ favourite to start against the same side in Los Angeles.
