Mikel Arteta have provided a positive injury update ahead of Arsenal’s clash against Manchester United. The Gunners will be determined to get off to a winning start when they face Ruben Amorim’s side at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Speaking to reporters at the Sobha Realty Training Centre ahead of the tie, Arteta was quizzed on the difficult start to the campaign. The Spaniard said: “We need to play each other, we need to play at some point and we’ll start at an incredible stadium with so much history and a beautiful way to start the season.

Gabriel Jesus suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during the Gunners’ defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup third round at the start of the year. In March, the 28-year-old striker announced that he had successfully completed the first seven weeks of his rehabilitation programme.
