Pogba still on Man United bench as Greenwood earns rare start

Paul Pogba (£8.4m) will have to wait a little while longer to get his first league start since returning from injury.

He has been named on the bench for the Gameweek 19 meeting with Newcastle United which kicks off at 17:30 GMT.

The Frenchman made his comeback with a 26-minute cameo against Watford in Gameweek 18 and still hasn’t featured from the beginning since Gameweek 7.

However, there is a rare start for Mason Greenwood (£4.3m), just his second of the season.

The youngster has been stationed on the right-hand side of an attacking midfield trio, Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) on the opposite flank and Anthony Martial (£7.7m) up-front.

Meanwhile, there is some rotation for Newcastle United too.

Dwight Gayle (£5.0m) comes into the line-up in the place of Andy Carroll (£5.4m), who finds himself on the bench.

Joining him among the substitutes is central midfield pair Jonjo Shelvey (£5.1m) and Isaac Hayden (£4.4m), who have been replaced in the first XI by Sean Longstaff (£5.0m) and Matthew Longstaff (£4.5m).

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Fred; Rashford, A Pereira, Greenwood; Martial.

Newcastle United XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Lejeune, Fernández, Schär, Manquillo; Almirón, M Longstaff, S Longstaff; Joelinton, Gayle.

        Logic Alli (C)

      Yeah his two goals were exceptional, awful GK'ing and a tragic defensive pass to put him 1on1

  5. dark91

    Captained Martial 1 GW too early but still good to own him

  6. Rolls-Royce

    What an assist by M.Longstaff!

  7. Mo Salah No Mane

    Get the F*** in Martial!
    Not even going to try and say I was thinking about captaining.
    Definitely not selling on my wc anymore.
    Rashford C and Martial working out nicely now 🙂

    Andreas has horrible decision making...

    1. Johnny Drama

      This. United is in big need of a no. 10

        Hopefully Pogba next game.

        Think he's only in the holding role because McTominay had to come off. And they're winning, so they benefit from his long balls from deep on counters.

    Might have to get in Rash on wc. Cant get me to trust Martial

  10. Rainer

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I would have just done Son to Alli

    • L'Aeroplanino
      • 7 Years

    • Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

        • 11 Years

        Kane has yet to justify his price, even after today's G
