Ten Hag names team to face Newport

The Reds welcome Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw back into defence, in front of debutant keeper Altay Bayindir.

Martinez makes his first start since the UEFA Champions League clash away to Bayern Munich on 20 September, while Shaw makes his opening appearance of the calendar year.

Casemiro also returns, after being an unused substitute in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham last time out, and is paired with Kobbie Mainoo in the engine room.

Antony plays on the right, with Alejandro Garnacho on the left.

Marcus Rashford is absent because he was not well enough to be in the squad, following illness. The England international has instead stayed at Carrington to train, as he recovers.

However, Jonny Evans is among the substitutes, after also being ill on Friday, alongside fit-again Harry Maguire.

Full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is sidelined through injury.

Amad is available again, and he and Omari Forson are among the attacking options on the bench.

United: Bayindir; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Antony, Fernandes (c), Garnacho; Hojlund.

Substitutes: Heaton, Evans, Kambwala, Maguire, Eriksen, McTominay, Amad, Forson, Pellistri.
