Newcastle United predicted line-up versus Manchester United: Steve Bruce to name controversial change?

Newcastle United travel to Manchester United on Sunday evening – but who will make Steve Bruce’s starting XI?

The Magpies head coach confirmed there was no fresh injury news to report, which means Callum Wilson, Fabian Schar, Javier Manquillo and Federico Fernandez remain sidelined, though Bruce did provide a positive update on the latter two.

Bruce said: “Thankfully, we’ve not got any new injuries ahead of the weekend.

"Federico Fernandez trained yesterday and the day before but Sunday will be too soon for him. We’re hoping he’ll be ready for Wolves.”

He added: “The one who looks better is Manquillo, he twisted his ankle badly, but has responded very well to treatment.”

So, who will get the nod for the Premier League clash at Old Trafford?
