Manchester United will be hosting Newcastle on Wednesday evening in their final home game of the season, a season many a fan would wish just ended.
Newcastle are United’s current direct rivals in the fight for Europe, albeit a mere conference league place, and not even a win will get them over the Magpies in account of their superiorly inferior goal difference.
Heading into the game, United are just as injury-plagued as they have been all season although there is some good news in that regard.
Captain Bruno Fernandes who missed the last two games, the first time he has missed a game through injury in his entire career, is back and in contention to participate.
Marcus Rashford who has also been struggling with an ankle issue since the semi final of the FA Cup vs Coventry may be back as manager Erik ten Hag confirmed.
Long term absentee Lisandro Martinez has been in training for about a week so there is a solid chance he may get some minutes.
Casemiro has been having a torrid time at centre back in the last 2 games but with Martinez still not ready to start, he will most likely partner Evans in defense once more.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot are likely to retain their full back partnership completing the back 4 in front of Onana.
Amrabat impressed at the 6 vs Arsenal so he may start alongside Kobbie Mainoo and returning Bruno Fernandes.
Amad Diallo was another star against Arsenal and he deserves the start once again partnering Garnacho on the opposite flank to support lone striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Man Utd possible lineup 4-2-3-1: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Evans, Casemiro, Dalot, Amrabat, Mainoo, Fernandes, Antony, Garnacho, Hojlund.
