Mikel Arteta will be without Max Dowman and Christian Norgaard for Arsenal's opening clash of the new Premier League season. The Gunners will be determined to get off to a winning start when they lock horns with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

football.london understands that Dowman travelled with the first team, but he was not deemed ready to be part of the squad. The 15-year-old midfielder enjoyed a promising pre-season with the north Londoners, making a few cameo appearances off the bench.

Meanwhile, Norgaard hasn't trained this week. The 31-year-old midfielder, who joined Arsenal from Brentford in July for £15million, wasn't recently spotted in any pictures or videos at the Sobha Realty Training Centre.
