A come-from-behind victory at lowly
Newcastle United meant United did not enter the international break winless in
three, but they remain seven points off the Blues after just eight games.
Reports emerged ahead of the visit of
Newcastle that Mourinho would be sacked no matter the result - a claim strongly
refuted by the club. A win at his former stomping ground would do wonders for
the mood around Old Trafford.
Antonio Valencia is expected to come in
for Ashley Young, who played at right-back against Newcastle. Luke Shaw, fresh
from signing a new five-year deal, will keep his place at left-back.
Victor Lindelof should come in at central
defence in place of Eric Bailly, who was taken off after just 19 minutes when
Newcastle 2-0 up. The Swede will partner Chris Smalling at the back.
Youngster Scott McTominay will come
out as Maroune Fellaini comes into a midfield three
including Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba. The front three of Anthony
Martial, Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford should remain unchanged.
Predicted starting
line-up:
Manchester United XI (4-3-3): De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof,
Shaw; Fellaini, Matic, Pogba; Martial, Lukaku, Rashford
Victor Lindelof should come in at central
defence in place of Eric Bailly, who was taken off after just 19 minutes when
