Manchester United are gearing up for a hectic week of Premier League fixtures and first up, Erik ten Hag’s men are aiming to make it six wins from their last seven league games against Newcastle United.
The visitors are in fine form going into the meeting on Sunday but they have been dealt two major blows, with Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin ruled out due to injury.
United had to dig deep to win all three points against Omonia earlier this week and from that game, Ten Hag has made a number of changes.
Ronaldo keeps his place for the game against Newcastle, with the Portugal international making just his second start of the season in the league.

Marcus Rashford, who has been one of United’s best performers this season and was praised by Ten Hag after the game against Omonia, has been left out.
Fred has been given a rare start whilst Jadon Sancho, who made a difference as a substitute against Omonia, is drafted back into the side.
After being rested against Omonia earlier this week, Eriksen has been left out of a league squad for the first time this season, with Ten Hag most likely keeping an eye on upcoming games against Tottenham and Chelsea.
As confirmed by Manchester United, confirmed line-up: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Fred; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo
