Two names can be erased from Manchester United's seemingly endless injury list.

On Sunday, David De Gea and Marcos Rojo were included in United's starting XI for the Red Devils' Premier League fixture versus Arsenal, replacing Sergio Romero and Joe Riley, respectively.

De Gea suffered a knee injury 10 days ago while warming up for the first leg of United's Europa League tie against FC Midtjylland, forcing Romero to put on a pair of gloves at the last minute and also play the second leg.

Rojo, meanwhile, dislocated a shoulder during a training session in December and subsequently underwent surgery. He returned to the pitch as a substitute for the second leg of United's tie against Midtjylland, but hasn't featured in the Premier League since United's 2-1 victory at Watford in November.
