'He's utterly useless!': Newcastle fans react as forgotten man is handed start at Manchester United

The Spaniard has made three changes from the side that lost to Leicester City - handing starts to Federico Fernandez, Yoshinori Muto and forgotten man Javier Manquillo.

And it's the inclusion of Manquillo that has stirred up debate from Newcastle fans - who seem far from pleased that the full-back features.

@JordNufcMorris commented: "Apart from manquillo that’s a good team but with dummet injured we don’t have a choice to play him so glad to see muto and Perez start as a front 2 possibly but fully expect one to drop when off the ball"
