Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe had several injury concerns heading into the game.
Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak were doubts ahead of the match and didn’t travel to Old Trafford.
But one player who did make the trip was Jonjo Shelvey. The midfielder was named in the Newcastle squad for the first time this season after picking up a hamstring injury in pre-season.
NUFC line-up: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Longstaff, Joelinton; Murphy, Almiron, Wilson
Subs: Karius, Lascelles, Shelvey, Lewis, Targett, Wood, Fraser, Willock, Anderson
