Manchester United players in selfie mood as they look to re-ignite old rivalry at the Emirates against Arsenal

Man Utd trio Ander Herrera, Mata, Di Maria and De Gea were all smiles as they take a selfie on the road to the Emirates

Manchester United's players appear to be in good spirits ahead of their clash against Arsenal on Saturday despite their injury ravaged squad and inconsistent start to the season.

David De Gea was a doubt for the match after dislocating his finger on international duty with Spain but trained with the squad and was all smiles in Ander Herrera's upload via Instagram.

Luke Shaw, Angel di Maria and Michael Carrick also trained in the week in what is undoubtedly a massive boost for manager Louis van Gaal.

But United's midfield will be missing Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo is still out of the defence as he recovers from a shoulder injury. 

Arguably the most frustrating absentee is Radamel Falcao, who has picked up another injury after struggling initially with a calf issue.

  

United are seventh in the Premier League table but a victory at The Emirates on Saturday would see them overtake Arsene Wenger's side.
