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.

          Son + Rashford to Kane (C) and Martial - 4 paying off... But is it time to ship Abraham?

          At last! Told my son to get off the x box so I can watch the match - other TV has match but no sound (??)....he said wait until half time - then they go 1-0 down........turn off completely

          Now Martial gives me something back....get a hattie now

                Not sure. Just think he has had his incredible run now.

                Best to get a player about to go on a run, rather than one who just had one....

                Maybe chatting nonsense tho

          No one relevant has Martial. Rash blank is the most important in this game.

            10% EO in the Top 10k. So not hurting non-owners that much.

            He was a good one or two week punt for people who are wildcarding as late as possible, so a few have him.

              Hmm. Actually think sterling/KDB get rotated these 2 games. Feel one of them will start each game. And sterling vs Sheffield United at home is captaincy worthy

              Abraham + Pulisic > Maupay+ Sterling -4 (leaves .1 itb) is being considered here.

            Unwise of Newcastle to score early against United since they need to concede before they start playing.

              I've had a lot of fires to put out in my team so haven't been able to get rid of Pulisic yet. Do I keep him for the Arsenal game? Given he came on as a sub in this game meaning good chance he starts the next game and there's likely to be heavy rotation in the next GW meaning I may have to heavily rely on my bench any replacement I bring in my end up benched.

                Keep. Have a feeling he may start up front instead of Abraham.
