Manchester United fans name team they want to see in Premier League fixture vs Newcastle

Manchester United fans have voted for the starting line-up they want to see against Newcastle.

United travel to St James' Park on Monday night to take on Newcastle in their return to Premier League action.

The Reds suffered a Covid-19 outbreak following their 1-0 win over Norwich earlier this month and Carrington was subsequently closed down. However, Ralf Rangnick confirmed United's players have made a full recovery and that 25 players trained last week.

United have kept two clean sheets in their two league games under Rangnick and they'll be hoping for another versus Newcastle. The North East club have struggled this season - they've won just one game - and United notably won this fixture 4-1 last term.

With everyone available for the match with the exception of Paul Pogba, Rangnick should have a selection headache to address.

Unsurprisingly, United fans want to see David de Gea start in goal and they also want Raphael Varane - the defender hasn't played since November but he has made a full recovery from injury - to return to the starting line-up away at Newcastle.

They want Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire and Alex Telles to make up the remainder of the back four on Monday night.

United supporters want to see four in midfield with Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho starting. The latter enjoyed the best few weeks of his United career before the enforced break and the real Sancho appears to be finally arriving.

What do you think of the team? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

The fans have voted for Cristiano Ronaldo and Mason Greenwood to start upfront together. Greenwood was unfortunate not to start against Norwich when considering his performance against BSC Young Boys and he can replace Rashford in the starting XI here.

Edinson Cavani could play a role from the bench while Marcus Rashford loses his place in the team after a poor display at Norwich.

Fans' United XI vs Newcastle: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles, Van de Beek, Fred, Sancho, Fernandes, Greenwood, Ronaldo.
