Manchester United travel to Newcastle tonight with plenty to ponder. Michael Carrick’s return has been an overwhelming success with a draw at West Ham the only blemish so far. Despite the comeback win over Crystal Palace, the Reds’ interim head coach has a headache when it comes to his team selection.<\/p>\n

In his pre-match press conference, Carrick<\/a> confirmed both Harry Maguire<\/a> and Luke Shaw<\/a> struggled with illness during the win vs Palace and are doubts to feature against Newcastle<\/a>. Shaw lasted just 24 minutes on Sunday and Noussair Mazraoui did well when he came off the bench and would deserve his first start under Carrick.<\/p>\n

As for Maguire, he impressed despite his illness and lasted longer than Shaw, suggesting he could be in a better position to start. If the centre-back is anything short of one hundred per cent, he must sit out.<\/p>\n

Ayden Heaven<\/a> would be the logical replacement to play alongside Leny Yoro. Earlier this season, the former Arsenal academy star was one of the standout defenders in this United team. A return to the starting XI would be a huge chance for him to prove his worth again.<\/p>\n

The midfield continues to pick itself with Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo the standout options. Amad lost his place in the starting line-up on Sunday and despite forcing a great stop from Dean Henderson, he is unlikely to win it back.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Sesko’s<\/a> long overdue start did not disappoint, with his winner showing plenty of class. He is now the first name on the teamsheet alongside captain Bruno Fernandes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha is the only option on the left as Patrick Dorgu remains absent. Bryan Mbeumo was quiet in the victory over Palace but his form this season should see him retain his spot on the right.<\/p>\n

United predicted line-up vs Newcastle: Lammens; Dalot, Yoro, Heaven, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha; Sesko<\/strong><\/p>\n
