Is Manchester United v Newcastle on TV?

The game has not been selected for television coverage by Sky Sports or BT Sport.

The televised picks for October were announced by the Premier League on July 29.

That is the same state of affairs as last season, when Cristiano Ronaldo’s United return was untelevised in the UK.

The kick-off time of the match has been moved to Sunday at 2pm because of United’s involvement in the Europa League on Thursday nights.

Manchester United v Newcastle team news

Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Harry Maguire will not be fit for this game and could return to training next week.

Anthony Martial could be fit for the game after missing Thursday’s 1-0 win over Omonia Nicosia.

The likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Donny van de Beek and Brandon Williams will not be fit to play in this one.

Raphael Varane could make his first start after injury in the Manchester derby, having been managed carefully back into action.

Scott McTominay is suspended after picking up five yellow cards in the league this season, while Martin Dubravka cannot face his parent club.

Manchester United v Newcastle: Our prediction

Newcastle could come out and attack United, which may lead to an open game with goals at both ends of the pitch.

United need to be ready for that and also more clinical than they have been in recent matches, most notably against Omonia.

We’ll go for a 3-1 victory after a tough game, as United finally play a Premier League match at home once again.
