Man u line up is The possible lineup for Manchester United versus Newcastle United
Erik ten Hag, the head coach of Manchester United, is worried about Bruno Fernandes’ health in advance of Wednesday’s Premier League match at Old Trafford against Newcastle United.
Prior to the match against Arsenal this weekend, the Portuguese playmaker was almost fully recovered from a wrist injury, but he was forced to withdraw at the last minute.
Even so, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Antony rejoin the attacking third alongside Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho, and Fernandes’s chances of returning on Wednesday will be enhanced by the prolonged recovery period.
Therefore, Scott McTominay and Kobbie Mainoo might return to a deeper midfield role, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot remaining the only available choices at full-back.
But now that he’s fully recovered, Willy Kambwala might move up to the defense to play with Jonny Evans and Andre Onana, pushing Casemiro out after his defensive errors on Sunday allowed Arsenal to win.
The same was true for Marcus Rashford, who suffered an ankle injury. Last week, he returned to the practice fields with Fernandes and Lisandro Martinez (calf), but Martinez is still being kept back because the FA Cup final is approaching.
While Anthony Martial (groin) and Amad Diallo (knee) need once-overs, Tyrell Malacia (knee), Victor Lindelof (thigh), Harry Maguire (muscle), Raphael Varane (muscle), Mason Mount (unspecified), and Luke Shaw (thigh) are also out of the running.
The latter played well on the right flank in his first Premier League start of the season against Arsenal before hobbling off in the second half. Following the game, he downplayed the gravity of his worries on social media.
