Mikel Arteta has told his Arsenal fringe players they have worked their way into contention for Sunday's clash with Manchester United after a strong Europa League showing in the win over Dundalk.
The Gunners made 11 changes for the game against their Group B opponents as goals from Eddie Nketiah, Joe Willock and Nicolas Pepe secured a comfortable 3-0 victory.
The wholesale alterations came on the back of two consecutive Premier League defeats as the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Thomas Partey remained on the bench against the Irish champions.
