manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said he is "expecting a lot" from Sofyan Amrabat after handing him a rare start against Arsenal at Old Trafford this afternoon.
The Moroccan has been included in the starting line-up for the first time since the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup at the end of February.

Casemiro is set to start at centre-back once again.
