Manchester United could be without centre-back pair vs Arsenal

Bailly, Lindelof could miss Arsenal game

Manchester United could be without centre-back pair vs Arsenal

28 January 2021 - 21:11

Manchester United could be without both Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof for the Premier League clash against Arsenal on Saturday.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso


  • Lindelof has been struggling with a nagging back problem and that has meant that his playing time has been limited over the past few weeks.

    Bailly had earned a regular run of games in his absence, but the Ivorian is now on the sidelines after sustaining a knock in training.

    Axel Tuanzebe and Harry Maguire were the centre-back pairing against Sheffield United last night where the club suffered a surprise 2-1 loss.

    In an early update from the club's official website, it is suggested that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have to stick with the same duo this weekend.

    Tuanzebe made his first Premier League start of the season against Sheffield, but he looked out of sorts with his positioning.

    The United graduate will need to make a massive improvement on that display in case he gets the nod to start against the Gunners.
