Does Ronaldo start or not? ….. that’s all that matters.
Manchester United have lost just one of their last 36 home league games against Newcastle (W26 D9), with that defeat coming in December 2013 under David Moyes (0-1).
Newcastle have opened the scoring in six of their last eight Premier League meetings with Manchester United but have gone on to win just two of those (L4).
After losing three of their first six league games last season (W2 D1), Manchester United have lost just a further three in their subsequent 35 Premier League matches (W21 D11).
Newcastle have taken 10 points from their last 15 available away from home in the Premier League (W3 D1 L1), though they did lose last time out at Aston Villa. The Magpies had earned just nine points from their previous 42 available on the road (W2 D3 L9).
Manchester United have scored at least once in each of their last 14 Premier League home games, netting 40 times in total (2.9 per game). However, they’ve only kept three clean sheets in that run (19 conceded), shipping at least once in each of their last six at Old Trafford.
Team News:
Manchester United could take on Steve Bruce’s Magpies without six senior players. The likes of Alex Telles, Dean Henderson, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford and Phil Jones are all likely to be unavailable for the clash.
Another player who is facing a race against time to feature on the night is Jadon Sancho. The 21-year-old withdrew from the England squad after picking up a minor injury.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup:
de Gea – AWB – Varane – Maguire – Shaw – Matic – Pogba – Fernandes – Greenwood – Ronaldo – Sancho
