Revealed: Our team to face Newcastle

Michael Carrick's men are looking to consolidate our hold on third place in the Premier League, but it will no doubt be a tough assignment at St James' Park, where we haven't won since October 2020.

Our hopes have been boosted by the recovery of Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw from illness, and both players start on Tyneside.

The only change to the side which began the 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace sees Noussair Mazraoui come in for Diogo Dalot.

Mazraoui replaced Shaw on Sunday but it looks as though he will feature at right-back this evening.

Benjamin Sesko continues up front and his next goal will see him reach double figures in a red shirt.

Godwill Kukonki replaces Jack Moorhouse on the substitutes' bench and it is the second time the teenager has featured in a squad this term, after the 1-1 draw at Leeds in early January.

United: Lammens; Mazraoui, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes (c), Cunha; Sesko.

Subs: Bayindir, Dalot, Heaven, Kukonki, Malacia, T.Fletcher, Ugarte, Amad, Zirkzee.

Newcastle: Ramsdale; Trippier (c), Thiaw, Burn, Hall; Ramsey, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Gordon, Barnes.

Subs: Pope, Botman, A. Murphy, Shahar, Willock, Osula, J. Murphy, Neave, Wissa.
