In recent seasons the players arrived individually at Old Trafford with four hours to go until kick-off, primarily to enjoy a pre-match meal at the stadium. 

However, following the official opening of our leading-edge facility at Carrington, the Reds will now meet at the training ground, eat together and travel as a group. 

We can confirm Ruben’s Reds are expected to arrive at Old Trafford around 14:45 BST on Sunday and, as before, the players will continue to embrace supporters who are waiting by the tunnel area. #MUFC [mu]

Amorim on the new pre-match routine: “We’re going to change things a bit. Old Trafford should be the heart of the match, but we can’t spend four hours there waiting for the game.

And I think with these facilities [at Carrington], we can stay here, prepare for the match away from Old Trafford, and when we arrive at Old Trafford, we need to feel the fans and then go straight into the game.

We know a lot of people are waiting for us there, to see the players and get autographs. It’ll be the same experience for the fans, but for us, it’ll be better, because we’ll be closer to the match and spend less time there.”

Manchester United’s starting eleven for Darren Fletcher’s first league game as the under-18s head coach.

A very young squad. Douka Nkoto makes his first start and appearance at this level - JJ Gabriel also starts as expected.

Benjamin Sesko has left Manchester United players and staff shocked with his incredible work ethic internally, always the first in and last to leave training. Always doing 'hours' of extra recovery + gym work even after the normal sessions [SullyTalkz] #MUFC

Omar Berrada's message for the start of the season:

"Welcome to Old Trafford for our first match of the new Premier League season, where we host Arsenal this afternoon. We come off a positive pre-season, which began in Sweden, followed by the Premier League Summer Series in the United States and the Snapdragon Cup here at Old Trafford.

It is always a pleasure to see our incredible supporters around the world. The passionate and dedicated Manchester United fans never disappoint. Wherever we go, you are always there in full force. We are also working with world-class partners and have enjoyed incredible activities with adidas, Snapdragon, and many others during our travels.

This has been a summer of change as we have moved into our fully renovated training center. It is a state-of-the-art complex, reflecting the significant investment made in it. We are confident that it will create a high-performance environment for our coaches, players, and staff.

Jason Wilcox and the football department have worked hard this summer to attract the best talent to help us improve the team. We are thrilled to welcome Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and Diego Leon among us and are confident in the impact they will have.

Throughout last season, you have always stood by us, no matter the results. The spirit of this club, which is about never giving up and always aiming for success, lives in each of you. Everyone at the club is committed to giving you even more reasons to celebrate this season.

Finally, on behalf of everyone at Manchester United, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of Diogo Jota and André Silva, as well as everyone at Liverpool Football Club. We will have the opportunity before the match to pay tribute to these two young men and the tremendous impact they had on all those who knew them.

Enjoy the match, and as always, thank you for your incredible support."
