Newcastle United’s trip to Old Trafford comes amid a very hectic fixture schedule as the Magpies have league, cup and European commitments to balance at a crucial period of the season. Eddie Howe’s side have done well to manage these to date, however, with a growing injury list, they face a difficult test against the Red Devils.
Whilst Manchester United’s injury problems don’t match their opponents’ concerns, Erik ten Hag still has a number of issues to contend with ahead of the game. Here, we take a look at the very latest injury news from both camps ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Newcastle United:
