Manchester United XI vs Newcastle: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League

Marcus Rashford has returned to the Manchester United squad for their Premier League with Newcastle.

The forward has missed the last few games after Ruben Amorim cited “standards” behind the scenes, with Rashford later confirming he was looking for a new challenge.

He, however, is back in the squad for the game at Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte are both out due to suspension.

Fernandes is banned after his red card in the 2-0 defeat at Wolves on Boxing Day and Ugarte is out after picking up five yellow cards in the Premier League.

It leaves Ruben Amorim facing a midfield rethink for the visit of in-form Newcastle.

Matthijs de Ligt comes back into the defence.

Amorim will also have to decide on his captain with Fernandes missing. Harry Maguire is a likely candidate to skipper to the side.

Amorim said: “You will have to wait until the game and see the captain.”

On Maguire, Amorim adeed: “He works really well, he is focused on the job and not what people say.

“He has no excuses, even if he had some tough moments. I think in that department he is an example. He is there to play, to help the team and he's trying to do that.”

Predicted Man Utd XI: Onana; Mazraoui; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Eriksen; Amad, Zirkzee, Hojlund

Subs: Bayindir, Kukonki, Malacia, Yoro, Collyer, Mainoo, Antony, Garnacho, Rashford

Venue: Old Trafford
