The Premier League game between Manchester United and Newcastle United will go off late today at St. James’ Park.
In spite of their current winning run of three games, the Red Devils have had difficulty in Europe. They drew 3-3 with Galatasaray on Wednesday night in the Champions League.
The club intends to resume its winning ways this evening. Before the game, manager Erik ten Hag has the option to make up to three changes. In midweek, Marcus Rashford should start after his ban.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-up:
Despite making two prominent mistakes in the 3-3 tie in Istanbul, Andre Onana is still the clear favorite in goal. The boss has publicly backed him, and he will look to make apologies by recording his sixth clean sheet of the premier league season.Aaron Wan-Bissaka ought to stay in front of him at right back in order to handle Anthony Gordon’s offensive threat. On Wednesday, he performed admirably in holding Wilfried Zaha at bay. After his injury comeback, Luke Shaw appears to be the obvious pick at left back over Sergio Reguilon.Right now, Harry Maguire is an unquestionable starter at central defense position. Raphael Varane may need to take the field instead of Victor Lindelof, who has been his teammate in recent weeks. Surprisingly, the World Cup victor has been rested for tactical reasons.In the midfield, Scott McTominay appears to be a lock to start at number eight with Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount still sidelined. Although Ten Hag has acknowledged that he is not prepared to play against the Magpies, the latter has resumed his training.In place of Sofyan Amrabat in the holding midfield position, Kobbie Mainoo ought to be selected. The United alumnus made a fantastic league debut against Everton last weekend, but he was merely a midweek substitute. Before Amrabat, the teenager ought to be added back into the starting lineup.Alejandro Garnacho is currently unstoppable going forward after scoring in back-to-back games. The United graduate will start on the left side of the field. Despite playing his finest right wing game of the season, Antony should still make room for Rashford, who was given a suspension on Wednesday.As usual, Bruno Fernandes will start at number ten to guide the team. With a goal and an assist against the Turkish champions, he was outstanding, but Onana’s mistakes in goal let him down.As long as Rasmus Hojlund is healthy and available, the Red Devils will undoubtedly start him. Although he has five goals in Europe, the Dane is still scoreless in the Premier League. St. James’ Park, which has been the Magpies’ stronghold in recent months, offers him the chance to make amends.
