Erik ten Hag's predicted Manchester United XI to face Newcastle United amid Marcus Rashford worry - gallery

Manchester United are the side that stands in the way of Newcastle United’s quest for their first major trophy in over half-a-century.

The two sides have met once this season, a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford that could have seen either side walk away with three points from a hotly-contested game.

The Red Devil’s, who are looking to end a trophy drought that stretches all the way back to 2017, have been boosted over the weekend with the news that Nick Pope will miss Sunday’s game after being dismissed during the clash with Liverpool.

They will also benefit from Marcel Sabitzer’s challenge on Wout Faes during the game with Leicester City going unpunished - meaning the loanee will be able to take part at Wembley. However, there are concerns over the fitness of Marcus Rashford who was injured during their game with Barcelona.
