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.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      Lindelof was out of position so he had to move across tbf.

      How is Gollum still manager? Embarrassing (and hilarious)

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years

        So good

      2. Lebowski85

        6 years, 4 months ago

        Haha...he does look like Smeagle doesn't he

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

        Really don't think they can expect much more, same with Arsenal, need to stop sacking everyone and accept they are a top 10 team for a bit

      4. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        top6 record has saved him otherwise they'd be in a relegation battle

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Meh, like not dumping a girl who does your head in just because she is a good cook.

          1. BeaversWithAttitude

            Lol, I resemble that remark...

    • WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Scuffs it into the bottom corner

    • Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      He HATES Manchester!

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Harry Maguire.

      Magnus Carlsen knows!

      1. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He called it. Nobody can say otherwise

    • Niho992
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Still dont get it how Maguire costed 85 mil. At his best day he is worth about 30 milion. Average player.

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

        DDG has blown the confidence of the defence IMO. Needs to be dropped for Romero. Will see a big uplift in performance, similar to when Roberto was dropped for Martin by West Ham.

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

        Leicester knew when to get rid.

    • Dr Van Nostrand

      Let's lose the next 3 and hope for Ole sack while poch is still a available

    • Optimus.

      ManU losing this relegation 6 pointer

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Championship side already

    • Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Bit of normality occurring in this football season

      Favourites Newcastle up at Old Trafford 😉

      Rashford and Martial though... What a waste they've been so far lol

    • Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Whoever approved the purchase of Harry Maguire for a world record £80m deserves to be sacked.

      1. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Woodwoodwood

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

        You could say that about all of United's signings?

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Atleast only Pogba and Lukaku cost that much tho

      3. Total Slotball
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Evans sold for pennies years ago and would be their best defender till this day sums up their transfer deals.

      4. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Should have resigned Evans instead.

    • FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      DDG could do nothing there

    • Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Man lol Utd 😀 The team that just keeps on giving

    • Stef rocks
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Absolutely disastrous - Maguire Cs gone - worst transfer ever - even though only for 2 GW

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

        Even Maguire doesn't own Maguire

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          😀

    • MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I did Rashford and Richarlison to Salah and Deeney just 0.0. Itb

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Richarlison was one to keep imo

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Inspiration oozing out of Ole.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        All the inspiration of when a science teacher has to double up as PE teacher.

    • Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      FFS can't believed I over looked Matty Longstaff this GW after accidentally clicking on Sports Direct website in October of this year.

    • BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Wtf was that celebration? Looked like he was shooting heroin

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        What's wrong with that?

        1. BIG TONES
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I'm kind of wondering what it meant - steroids? A celebration of the local smack culture?

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            probably the latter 😀

          Good man Fred. Reminded my to check out the rest of Control tonight. Fair play 🙂

      Harry Maguire. Discuss

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Disgusting rather

      2. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Over rated to the Max.

      3. Ritchies Magic Hat
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I don’t want to talk about it

      4. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Not much he can do alone tbh, people just jumping on his back

      5. Butcher
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Cannot trust United at all. Doing Rashford and Richarlison to Maupay and Salah. Salah single handedly will outscore both goons
