Manchester United are gearing up to face Newcastle United in a highly anticipated Premier League match at Old Trafford on Monday. However, there are a few changes in the lineup that manager Ruben Amorim will have to consider, especially in the midfield department.
The Red Devils will be without key players Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte, who are both unavailable due to suspension and injury respectively. This has left Amorim with a bit of a dilemma, but he may opt to include either Christian Eriksen or Casemiro in the starting lineup. In addition, with Fernandes out, Amorim is likely to hand the captain's armband to Harry Maguire for the match against Newcastle.
Speaking of Maguire, the defender has received praise from Amorim in the lead-up to the game and is expected to continue in his central defensive role. There is also a chance for Matthijs de Ligt to make a return to the lineup after recovering from an illness. However, there are still doubts over the availability of Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, and Victor Lindelof for the Red Devils.
Given United's recent struggles under Amorim, it's difficult to predict the exact starting lineup for the match. The manager has a history of shaking things up and with doubts over the futures of players like Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, it's even harder to make an accurate prediction. However, our friends at Metro have given it a shot and you can see their prediction below.
As for watching the match, it will be broadcasted live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with a live stream available on the Sky Go app and NOW TV. Kick-off is at 8pm on Monday, December 30.
Predicted Manchester United XI to face Newcastle United: Onana, Martinez, De Ligt, Maguire, Mazraoui, Mainoo, Casemiro, Dalot, Antony, Amad, Hojlund.
