Manchester United

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been dropped by interim manager Ralf Rangnick for Saturday's Premier League match at Arsenal.

Maguire has endured a difficult week. I can only tell you, never in my life will I be part of Instagram. But Eric Bailly was not the man to replace Maguire in Rangnick's team to face Arsenal. Both defenders were named among the substitutes with Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof starting at center-back.

Hello, and welcome to The Athletic's coverage of this afternoon's top-four Premier League battle between Arsenal and Manchester United.

It's wonderful play from Sancho to tee up Matic for the cross. 34' Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd 40' Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd De Gea is equal to it and parries it clear. His fierce effort is saved, though. Dalot is played in down the right and he tries to beat Ramsdale at his near post.

"I am ultimately responsible and accountable for the results. "If my protective attitude comes at the expense of myself, so be it. I make no concessions in that regard."

The England international may be left out of the United starting XI at the Emirates on Saturday lunchtime by Ralf Rangnick.

One key change looks set to be made in the United defence, however, with Maguire dropping out of the side. We all know how difficult it is to go to Anfield. They have really good moments in the season, they have exceptional players, and they have the ability to beat any team." With United confirming the arrival of Erik ten Hag from next season, there could be a number of players with a point to prove.

Man United opted to hire Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their next manager rather than PSG's Mauricio Pochettino.

The 52-year-old was chosen over Pochettino as United decided that he is the manager that most closely aligns with their identity and strategy. We want your views, Reds. You can become even more involved with our Man United coverage by signing up. United have been big admirers of Paris Saint-Germain boss Pochettino for a number of years but passed on the opportunity to hire him in 2019 when they instead made Ole Gunnar Solskjaer their permanent manager.

Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick says Manchester United need a 'major operation' to fulfil the club's potential.

"There were also other people involved in those two clubs, people in certain positions, no matter what area it was, in order to rebuild and build something we want to build here. “I still see where we could develop. "This is something that not just one single person as a manager can do. "The most vital part is that the club manages to get in the best possible players, and we have the attitude, the energy. “Obviously, he needs the assistance of all the people inside the club and he will get that and have the chance to mould a new team together with the scouting department and the board, which is necessary. This can happen within one year."

Manchester United put in an insipid performance against Liverpool on Tuesday night, but they're far from the only team to look lost against Jurgen Klopp's rampaging side. Cristiano Ronaldo also returns to the side after missing out for personal reasons.

Arsenal boosted their chances of a top-four finish as Granit Xhaka capitalised on a Bruno Fernandes penalty miss.

Dalot then hit the post after a Ronaldo pass while Tavares was fortunate not to be penalised for a challenge on Elanga on the fringes of the area. McTominay worked Ramsdale and, when Ronaldo spun and lashed home after a Fernandes headed flick, he was denied by the tightest of offside calls. He was reprieved when Fernandes stuttered, hopped and dragged his kick against the outside of a post. The same could be said of Tavares’s decision to jump for a United corner with his arm outstretched. Their last line was all over the place, and soon let Eddie Nketiah in for a one-on-one chance. The excellent Bukayo Saka shaped a shot for the far corner which was tipped out by De Gea at full stretch, but the United defence remained on their heels, particularly Dalot, and Tavares was able to tap home.

Man United have officially appointed Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their next permanent manager.

You can’t have a club buying and recruiting players that the manager does not know about. "Ralf Rangnick has been here and been really honest, but is he elevating his fingerprints on the club to take the pressure off him with what is happening with results at the football club. We have not said that often enough with Manchester United and that needs to improve going forward.

He found space inside the box, beat his man superbly, but blazed a shot high and wide. United had been a threat throughout the opening half hour, and pulled a goal back through Cristiano Ronaldo, who stole in at the far post to fire home a looping cross. The first half was action-packed, and had flown by. Moments later Nketiah thought he had beaten the keeper, only for the goal to be ruled out by VAR for a very close offside call. The crowd were up for it from the kick off, and the team responded immediately. There were just two minutes on the clock when Tavares gave us the lead.

United have to go and beat Arsenal, the players that want to stay at Manchester United have to turn up in this game and show everybody that they want to be a part of the future. To get anything, United have to be a team. It's very difficult to see Manchester United getting a result after the recent performances, which look as if United are just turning up and they can't wait for the end of the season. Just drop @TomCantonMedia a DM for details on how to get involved. If the players that stay and want to be a part of a United team in the Champions League, this is a must-win game and hopefully there's some kind of response, but fans have been waiting for a while and it hasn't come. There will be an extra incentive for Arsenal to get the win, after disappointingly losing the reverse fixture 3-2 this season. A win for Arsenal against Manchester United on Saturday afternoon will take Arteta's team six points ahead of Ralf Rangnick's side, with still an extra game in hand to play. Arsenal's pressure in the first few moments has been telling. Arsenal writers Chris Wheatley, Kaya Kaynak and Tom Canton will be updating you throughout the day. Saka shoots and David De Gea just palms it into Tavares' path to slot home an open goal. A win will also give the north London side breathing space in the top four race. I haven't got any great expectation that we'll turn up there and get a result.
