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.

    Kane captain at Norwich anyone?

    Definitely going to start - unlike mane, Salah and vardy who may be rested.... thanks

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I am.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Think he was ok today, and had an overall good game.

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

      Eriksen likely to start too...

    3. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      See below 😀

    4. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yep did ok today all things considering.
      And I agree hes less likely to get rotated.
      City asset the other one I'm considering, but I'm sure KDB gets rotated

    5. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Why he’s he definitely going to start? He looked shattered by full time today. As did Alli.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He always starts....cant see Jose resting him

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

      Is he not due another 7 blanks now?

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Next two fixture looks good tbh

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years

  6. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I cannot BELIEVE I was swayed to play Cantwell over Maddison.....what.a.joke.

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

      Who forced you?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        probably me :p
        But nah, everyone said Cantwell over Maddison. It was the logical move

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I started Mousset, Mount and Ings over him. All benched and 1pt cameo

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      In fairness villa were leaky at home to saints.
      Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Certainly wasnt a stupid move.

    2. KDB4PREZ

  10. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Alli goal was special.
    Watched the highlights. Should have got another one ...
    I guess I'll keep the armband on him for another GW

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

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Moura Kane were better performance wise, but like Kane Ali could have gotten another. Hopefully not rested

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      It was nice. None better this GW than Ayew's though, claaaass!

  13. diesel001

    Newcastle doing better under Bruce this season, than Benitez at the same stage last season.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Bruce highly underrated.

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

        I think he is crap manager, tbh.

        But what has changed is getting some players in with pace (e.g. Saint-Maximin and Willems) and someone to hold the ball up (Joelinton).

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          If only they could score more goals....

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Very.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      FSW was a myth.

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Very experienced manager. Not a bad defender in his day 😉

  14. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    On WC what to do with alli? Also considering pogba but not sure to get him

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Dont get it. He got 8 points today. Has norwhich.
      Why do you want to get rid?

      1. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He got injured at the end of the game

        1. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

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

            Don't know. Not been mentioned as the quickest YC so far.

            Vinnie Jones once got booked after about 5 seconds, may have been pre PL though.
