Manchester United’s line up against Newcastle has been announced.
Confirmed XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Pereira, Greenwood, Rashford, Martial
Substitutes: Romero, Pogba, Lingard, James, Jones, Mata, Young.
There are two changes to the team with Andreas Pereira and Mason Greenwood coming in for Jesse Lingard and Dan James.
Paul Pogba has to wait a little longer for his first start since September, and David de Gea retains his place in goal despite his error against Watford.
Background
United are looking to bounce back from a horrendous 2-0 loss away at Watford.
That result puts us level on points with opponents Newcastle heading into this fixture.
Tottenham won against Brighton earlier, meaning we have to win just to stay in touch with the top four race.
A fixture away at Burnley follows two days later for United before Arsenal on New Year’s Day.
