With the international break having afforded Manchester United time to recover from their 6-1 humiliation by Tottenham Hotspur, Ole Gunnar Solskjær will be expecting a much improved performance away at Newcastle United in Saturday’s late Premier League kickoff. The Magpies won’t be easy opposition, having won two of their opening four games, but Steve Bruce is struggling with a lengthy injury list.

Newcastle will certainly be without six players, including first-choice goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, Paul Dummett, Matty Longstaff and Ciaran Clark. Jamal Lewis, Jamaal Lascelles, Allan Saint-Maximin and DeAndre Yedlin are all doubts.

United will still be without Phil Jones, who is injured; Anthony Martial will miss out as he starts a three-game suspension. Harry Maguire is apparently carrying a knock, though frankly, it’s hard to see how he could get any worse than he has been so far this season. Alex Telles could make his debut at left-back, though Edinson Cavani will not feature this weekend; he remains in a precautionary coronavirus self-isolation.
