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.

      Rashford off is good news as a non owner. 2 more goals for United here.

      1. Oggle22
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I have him and Martial decided to captain Rashford

      2. Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He went straight down the tunnel with medical staff, is that really good news?

    • Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      United's last league hat trick was in April 2013. Unlucky Martial owners

    • It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Wow, so many salty non-MU owners

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        They all deserve a good spanking

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I say!

    • Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Eurrghh, went Grealish instead Of Martial. Can still do the move though Grealish > Martial?

      Not watching the game, were they gifted goals?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Both.

        Rashfords goal the only good one.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Ahh ok cheers bud,
          May leave it then, don’t trust Man U at all

      2. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, Newcastle an absolute joke today unfortunately

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Ahhh bloody typical hey

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Newcastle are pants today. 1st goal was a keeper fumble, 2nd was a pass to Martial (essentially) by a Newcastle player.

        Grealish also playing well, so not a super rush to ship him.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Sorted then, cheers man appreciate it, keep Grealy for now

        2. Railwayman
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          This.

      4. Ini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Keeper should have stopped the first, and the second was the best through ball by a defender you’ll see - a gift. His effort off the post was nice though.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Certainly sounds gift wrapped, shall watch the highlights later

      5. Blunder fc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yes but he's been best player on the pitch

      6. WVA
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Gifted

    • sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Rash straight to cryo chamber. Fit for next week.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He’s no Vardy

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly. He isn't injured. He is being wrapped in cotton wool to protect him for the next two games. Nailed to start now.

      3. Railwayman
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

          Leicester fixtures are very good though

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Don't think anyone will care, if he blanks Vs pool and martial will have a huge utd following can see it being a popular move

        3. Feloh
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          surely martial gets a hatty here.

          1. Railwayman
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Not today.

            6 years, 4 months ago

            • Railwayman
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              I have Rashford but since my rival has him as a C it's actually not so bad for him to get off. And he is a popular pick in the top 10K too.
