Manchester United Team News, Updates and Facts

Man Utd Team News

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains without defensive options such as Marcos Rojo, Diogo Dalot, Tim Fosu-Mensah, and Eric Bailly.  Paul Pogba has returned, however, and that’s great news for their hopes.

Man Utd Key Man

Paul Pogba may not be 100% fit yet, but United really need him right now. He came on and changed the game against the Hornets, giving them a chance, even if they never did much with it in the end.  He’s just that good and classy, whether it’s with a long or short pass, and that’s going to be needed.  Anthony Martial will come into this game in a nice run of form in this specific fixture.  He’s scored two years in a row against the Magpies on this ground, so he’ll look to make a trend out of it by doing so yet again.

Newcastle Key Man

It took nearly an entire year, but Miguel Almiron has finally grabbed his first goal for the Magpies, and it was a brilliant one, too.  He had just gotten his first assist recently, so his play has gone up a notch, showing he might be coming good on his expensive transfer fee.  In goal, Martin Dubravka just keeps on showing his worth to the Tynesiders.  He made some tremendous saves in the win over Palace on Saturday, giving them a ton of confidence that they are in safe hands back there.

Newcastle Team Form
