Red Devils can claim the win
This may be a friendly, but both sides will be keen to win to keep momentum going in their pre-season campaigns and United, who are slight underdogs, may have the best chance of doing so.
Both sides are still missing key players due to their previous international commitments, but the Gunners arguably have the greater absentees with Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba all missing.
The Red Devils are without their own stars, but Marcus Rashford has plenty of game time under his belt already and Rasmus Hojlund should be in line for a start.
United won a pre-season friendly against Arsenal in the United States just over a year ago and can take the win again.

Amad to shine once more
Amad Diallo was the best player on the pitch in United’s win over Rangers last weekend and he capped off his performance with a wonderful goal.
The 22-year-old will be eager to impress as the new season draws closer and a couple more performances like that would push Erik ten Hag into giving him some competitive starts early next term.
Amad scored and assisted against Newcastle in his penultimate appearance of last season and netted a dramatic winner against Liverpool in their FA Cup campaign, so he has the ability to strike again in California.

Goals in short supply in California
The last pre-season friendly meeting between these sides ended 2-0 to United and, despite the small stakes, another relatively low-scoring game may be on the cards.
Arsenal’s only outing this summer ended 1-1 against Bournemouth this week and United have scored just two goals in two games against Rosenborg and Rangers, with both of those fixtures featuring fewer than four goals.
Under 3.5 goals has been a winner in each of these teams’ last four matches and that looks a good bet once again.
