Newcastle United v Manchester United: Premier League – Live! | Football

An email: “The team selection tonight was terrible,” writes Neil Carter. “I am struggling to understand what is going on inside Ole’s head with this. Henderson deserves a start, he wouldn’t have started Maguire, Shaw, James and it only takes one from Fred or McTominay. Where is Greenwood? Donny, poor Donny, will anyone, for God’s sake, think of Donny? What do you have to do to get started? Poch will be sitting at home drinking a nice hot Bovril rubbing his hands together. ”

An interesting sight of a Manchester United fan. To be clear, I have no idea where Greenwood is and I suspect Poch is more of a dull man.

Premier league: Manchester City have beaten Arsenal at the Etihad, where Raheem Sterling scored the only goal of the game to take all three points for his team. It was a close affair, but Arsenal have yet to defeat any of their Big Six teammates on the road since 2015.

Those teams: Steve Bruce makes just one team change that knocked out Burnley in style, bringing in Jamaal Lascelles for Fabian Schar.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær, by contrast, makes four changes from the team that received their collective back from Tottenham. Victor Lindelof replaces Eric Bailly at the heart of Manchester United’s defense, while Scott Mac Tominay, Juan Mata, Fred and Dan James also enter the wing.

Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic fall to the bench, while there is no place for Mason Greenwood on the game day team. Donny Van de Beek’s wait for a first Premier League start continues. Harry Maguire begins, despite talk of a hit he received while on duty in England against Denmark.

Newcastle United: Darlow, Krafth, Fernández, Lascelles, Lewis, Hayden, Shelvey, Hendrick, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton, Wilson

Subs: Gillespie, Schar, Manquillo, Murphy, Almiron, Fraser, Carroll

Manchester United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Mata, Fernandes, James, Rashford.

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Telles, Matic, Pogba, Van de Beek, Ighalo

While Dwight Gayle, Sean Longstaff and Martin Dubravka are out with injuries, Steve Bruce has a host of treatment room returnees to choose from in Ciaran Clark, Paul Dummett, Jamal Lascelles and Matty Longstaff. Despite doubts about their involvement after taking hits on international service, Miguel Almiron and Jamal Lewis could also play a role in tonight’s game. Fit Allan Saint Maximin will take the field tonight with ink barely dry on the new six-year deal he signed with Newcastle earlier this week.

After being sent off against Denmark while on duty in England, it is doubtful whether Harry Maguire suffered any unspecified blows that may have explained his slow return to the locker room in 31 minutes. However, he has been included in tonight’s team.

Still in quarantine after his arrival during the transfer window, Edinson Cavani is unavailable while his new partner Alex Telles is in the travel group despite speculation that he might rest after his flight back from South America to midweek, where I was on an international trip. duty for Brazil.

Anthony Martial will sit on the Naughty Step as he serves the first game of his three-game suspension after being sent off against Tottenham Hotspur.

Sky Sports subscribers may have to fork out £ 14.95 in addition to their regular monthly fees to watch this game, but Guardian readers can read all about Manchester United’s trip to Newcastle here. The pressure is mounting on Ole Gunnar Solskjær after a rather dismal start to the Premier League season.

An opening day loss to Crystal Palace was followed by a somewhat serendipitous victory against Brighton, before the Norwegian was forced to watch in horror as his team was thrashed 6-1 by Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford just before the international stoppage.

Newcastle fans remain unconvinced by Steve Bruce despite a decent start to the season, but even the most curmudgeon would be forced to admit that their team’s performance in the emphatic win against Burnley was impressive. It’s not like that? Kick-off is at 8pm, but stay tuned in the meantime for preparation.
