Manchester United may pose a threat to Arsenal in the remaining few days of the January transfer window amid injury concerns for both clubs. The Gunners are keen on adding to their squad before the deadline on Tuesday, but face a potential rush to get any deals completed.
The midfield is a particular area of concern, with the deeper options at Mikel Arteta's disposal particularly limited heading into the latter half of the season. Mohamed Elneny faces a spell out with an injury while there will be some relief that Thomas Partey's initial issue against Manchester City on Friday isn't serious.
"Well, we need some more cover in midfield ideally if we can," Arteta told reporters. "In this market it’s pretty complicated to do that. The most important thing is that we get the performances and the time on the pitch that we need with the players we have available today that are already really good."
