Match Preview

10th-placed Manchester United is under pressure to get a favorable result when the side hosts bottom-third Newcastle at home. The Red Devils have endured a topsy-turvy run in both Europe and in the domestic league in recent week and will aim at getting back to winning ways.

Manager of the side Jose Mourinho has been tipped to possibly be shown the exit door should the Magpies stage in an upset at the Theatre of Dreams. The embattled Portuguese manager is reportedly clutching on straws as a result of the poor run his side is currently enduring.

With the Portuguese manager ostensibly at loggerheads with a few of his players, his tenure as Manchester United manager may be nearing its end soon as predicted by fans many in recent times. As a win remains the only objective ahead of Saturday's encounter, Jose will be looking to field the best men he can find.

Young Marcus Rashford returns from a three-match suspension and is in contention to replace Alexis Sanchez who has failed to make a mark since joining the Old Trafford outfit back in January. Following his move from Arsenal, the Chilean forward has managed just two goals for his team with his latest dating as far back as March.

Andreas Pereira, Phil Jones, and Diogo Dalot, who all sat out the midweek draw vs Valencia in the Champions League, will be aiming to secure respective slots in the squad list. However, the likes of Marcos Rojo, Jesse Lingard, and Ander Herrera remain unavailable as they recuperate injuries.

For Newcastle, the mission will be to turn its fortunes following a tough start to the season. Rafa Benitez's side currently sits at the 18th position with just two points two draws amid five defeats.

While the Spanish manager relishes the idea of his team staging an upset, he faces a selection dilemma with star forward Salomon Rondon missing out with an injury. Defensive pair Dummett and Fernandez remain also remain doubts for the upcoming encounter.

In that respect, a lot will be required of the Magpies with Manchester United eyeing the prevention of recording its worst-ever run at Old Trafford since the 1989-90 season.
