🚨 Rashford on the bench! Man Utd and Newcastle name their starting XIs

Manchester United host Newcastle United this evening, with new boss Ruben Anorim hoping to get some points on the board.

The Christmas period hasn’t been kind to the Portuguese tactician, with losses to Bournemouth and Wolves in their last two fixtures have come without a single goal scored.

Captain Bruno Fernandes will miss out after he picked up his third red card of the season against Wolves, and Manuel Ugarte is also suspended having received five yellow cards during the campaign.

Here’s how they line up.

Manchester United: Onana, De Ligt, Maguire, Martínez, Mazraoui, Casemiro, Eriksen, Dalot, Amad, Zirkzee, Højlund

Newcastle will be hoping the in-form Alexander Isak continues his rich vein of form, having netted in his last five consecutive Premier League outings.

Tino Livramento has shaken off a recent bout of illness to make the bench, which sees Kieran Trippier retain his place in the XI.

Who will come out on top at Old Trafford?
