Man Utd defender to miss Arsenal clash on Sunday?

Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui may not return for the Premier League clash against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Morocco international has been away on Africa Cup of Nations duty over the past few weeks. He made all the way to the final last weekend before a dramatic loss to Senegal.

Mazraoui has since returned to Manchester, but reports claim that he has been given a two-day break after suffering a big disappointment with his country.

With that in mind, the Moroccan's involvement against the Gunners is in doubt. He could be left out of the matchday squad for the encounter.

Diogo Dalot has been the regular starting right-back in Mazraoui's absence and he could continue in the role against the Gunners in north London.

United are currently just one point behind fourth-placed Liverpool and boost their Champions League prospects by beating the Gunners.

They have not won at the Emirates since December 2017.
