FPL managers expect win and clean sheet for Man United against Newcastle

Paul Pogba (£8.1m) will be the Fantasy Premier League focus of Saturday’s late kick-off, amid rumours over manager Jose Mourinho’s future.

The Manchester United midfielder is the most popular player in the fixture as Newcastle United visit Old Trafford. He is currently in 14.7% of squads.

He recently overtook Romelu Lukaku (£11.0m) whose ownership suffered from the switch to Harry Kane (£12.5m) for Gameweek 8, who blanked in a 1-0 win over Cardiff.

Meanwhile, there will be interest in the Man United defence with Newcastle’s recent struggles in front of goal.

David De Gea (£5.9m) remains the most fashionable Red Devil defensive asset, in 19.8% of squads, but Luke Shaw (£5.1m) may prove the more effective.

He has 10.5% backing from the Fantasy community and looks like he could also pull in some attacking returns.

Newcastle are still a club for the Fantasy hipsters, with no player boasting more than Joselu‘s (£5.0m) 4.8%. However, the striker has not started the match with Ayoze Pérez (£6.1m) and Yoshinori Muto (£5.7m) preferred up front.

MANCHESTER UNITED XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Smalling, Bailly, Young; Matic, McTominay; Martial, Pogba, Rashford; Lukaku

NEWCASTLE UNITED XI (4-4-2): Dubravka; Manquillo, Fernandez, Lascelles, Yedlin; Kenedy, Diamé, Shelvey, Ritchie; Pérez, Muto.

    My name is Jawahar Dhingra from Kerala. I have been a staunch supporter of Manchester United ever since Alex Ferguson won his first PL title at the club. I must regrettably inform you all that today, I am switching allegiance to Manchester City, as I love Pep Guardiola. Mourinho sucks!

      You're switching clubs because you don't like a manager? Because a team isn't winning? To a team from the same city who are winning? And a team you started supporting because they were winning?

      I know this will get me a ban but you sir, are the supporters that truly suck in football. Just don't support a team.

      I don't know that i'd be hasty - damage done this week and no idea what's going to happen on Monday. He's still a world-class keeper and may have an inspired defense in front of him by next weekend.

        Chelsea away, fixtures aren't great. Are you saying you wouldn't sell or not for a hit? Only would be for a hit as I want Salah back in as well and can't see myself doing it for free in GW10 as I'll likely need to make another move then.
