Manchester United are preparing for an important and action-packed Christmas period.
Kobbie Mainoo starts in Manchester United predicted line up vs Newcastle
01.12.2023 - 19:35 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United resume their Premier League campaign against Newcastle on Saturday night (8pm) and highly-rated teenager Kobbie Mainoo is back in contention to start.
The 18-year-old midfielder oozed class on his top-flight debut for United during their 3-0 victory over Everton last Sunday afternoon. However Erik ten Hag favoured more experience in midweek and Mainoo was omitted from the XI for the Champions League draw with Galatasaray.
Mainoo did play 32 minutes from the substitutes bench in that game after being replaced in the team by on-loan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat - and those two players could be competing for one spot here. Scott McTominay has been a constant fixture in the side over recent games.

United are currently without three senior options in that position - Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount - although there is some hope Mount is not be too far away from a comeback. The 24-year-old England international has missed the last two games with a calf problem.
Speaking about the club's ongoing injury woes in his pre-match press conference, Ten Hag said: "There are players on the way back, but I can't give a prognosis on how long it will take. Mount is returning on the [training] pitch, but I don't know how long it will take, in this moment."
While an injury boost appears unlikely, United will be able to call on Marcus Rashford once again after the forward served his one-game European suspension. It could be a straight tussle between him and Antony on the right-hand side given Argentina sensation Alejandro Garnacho is in such fine form.
At the back, United
