Man Utd team news and line-up: Alexis Sanchez returns on bench vs Newcastle

Alexis Sanchez returns to Manchester United's squad for tonight's Premier League clash against Newcastle.

Sanchez has yet to feature in an Ole Gunnar Solskjaer side due to the Chilean picking up a hamstring injury while Jose Mourinho was still United manager.

The forward has endured a miserable time at Old Trafford since moving from Arsenal last January, but Solskjaer is predicting big things for Sanchez after describing the 30-year-old as a "workaholic" in training.

Sanchez is on the bench, while Solskjaer has gone with a front four of Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.

Meanwhile, United captain Antonio Valencia returns at right-back after being banished by Mourinho.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Yedlin, Schar, Lascelles, Dummett, Ritchie, Atsu, Hayden, Diame, Perez, Rondon

Subs: Shelvey, Muto, Kenedy, Manquillo, Lejeune, Joselu, Woodman

Man Utd XI: de Gea, Valencia, Lindelof, Jones, Shaw, Ander Herrera, Matic, Mata, Pogba, Martial, Rashford

Subs: Sanchez, Lukaku, Lingard, Fred, Young, Romero, Darmian

Referee: Andre Marriner (West Midlands)
