Manchester United will be without Phil Jones , Eric Bailly and Marouane Fellaini for Saturday's Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Injury has sidelined defensive pair Jones (thigh) and Bailly for the last four matches, whilst Fellaini missed Tuesday's 4-2 win at Watford.

Nemanja Matic is also being assessed having come off in the second half at Vicarage Road with what boss Jose Mourinho has described as a muscular issue.

The United squad were spotted boarding the train to London from Stockport station as preparations for the match began.

There was no sign of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but the Swede is likely to be included in the squad as he completes his return to match fitness.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was also missing ahead of the journey but is expected to be involved despite being left out of 3 of the last 4 United squads.

Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Lindelof, Rojo, Smalling, Valencia, Young, Darmian, Blind, Shaw, Tuanzebe, Pogba, Matic, Herrera, McTominay, Mata, Lingard, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rashford, Lukaku, Ibrahimovic.
