Team news for Newcastle trip
Michael Carrick has provided an update on his Manchester United squad, ahead of Wednesday night's Premier League clash at Newcastle United.
The Reds moved into third place with the weekend win over Crystal Palace and are looking to extend our unbeaten run to 12 games.
We then have a gap until our next fixture, at home to Aston Villa on Sunday 15 March, the team we overtook on Sunday and the last side to beat us (on 21 December).
Press conference: Newcastle (A)
PRESS CONFERENCE | Michael Carrick discusses illness in the camp, grappling, Bruno Fernandes, Eddie Howe and more…
During his briefing with broadcasters at Carrington, the United head coach was asked about the availability of Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire, after they were withdrawn due to feeling ill in the victory over Palace.
"Yeah, we're hoping so," he replied about their involvement at St James' Park. "We're working towards it.
"They weren't feeling too good. We've still got a little bit of time to the game and we will just have to see how they feel. So we'll obviously give them every chance.
"No, it wasn't injury, it's just both of them weren't feeling too good. So, yeah, it's one of those things really. But we'll just have to see how they are today and tomorrow morning."
Lisandro Martinez has been out for the past couple of games, while Mason Mount is making progress in his recovery.
Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu is a longer-term absentee and Matthijs de Ligt has not played since the win at Crystal Palace in November.
Benjamin Sesko made the most of his first start under Carrick with the winner on Sunday, while Amad looked lively after coming off the bench.
NEWCASTLE'S TEAM NEWS
Nick Woltemade has emerged as a doubt for the hosts, and Tino Livaremento may not be back from his injury.
Key midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is definitely absent, while Jacob Ramsey, who scored in the 3-2 defeat to Everton last time out, came off feeling unwell but has recovered.
"Nick has come down ill," Eddie Howe revealed at his pre-match press conference. "There's potentially an illness in the squad. He hasn't trained but we will give him every chance for tomorrow.
"Jacob trained fine yesterday. Tino Livramento is getting closer and closer. This game possibly comes too soon for him but we are desperate for him to become available."
Emil Krafth, Fabian Schar and Lewis Miley are also sidelined.
