There could be a few unfamiliar faces in the Manchester United squad when they travel to face Arsenal in the FA Cup this weekend.
Ruben Amorim's side will be looking to build upon their impressive 2-2 draw with Liverpool last time out against a side they lost 2-0 to away in the Premier League last month.

Hide AdUnited still have a handful of injury concerns heading into the FA Cup third round trip, after Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans all missed the Anfield draw. Marcus Rashford remains a doubt after he missed the clash due to illness.
To bolster the numbers at first-team training this week, Amorim has included a quartet of promising youngsters in the sessions, all of whom will hope to catch his eye ahead of their weekend trip to North London.
Elyh Harrison has been spotted taking part in the sessions after his loan spell with Chester FC came to an end earlier in the week. The 18-year-old goalkeeper is not expected to depart the club in the second-half of the season and will remain at the club to support Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton in training sessions.
Jack Moorhouse has also been included in the sessions this week as a reward for his fine form at youth level. The 19-year-old has been nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award for his recent performances at U21 level. Teenage defensive duo Tyler Fredricson, 19, and Godwill Kukonki, 16, have both also trained with the first team given their shortage of options at centre-back. At least one of them could be on the bench at the Emirates this weekend if none of United's three sidelined defenders are back.
