15 Players Who Could Miss Man United vs Newcastle Tonight

Manchester United must cope without key players Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire due to injuries and suspensions in their Boxing Day Premier League match against Newcastle.

  • On Friday, Manchester United host Newcastle at Old Trafford in the only Boxing Day Premier League fixture, with Ruben Amorim missing Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, and Matthijs de Ligt.
  • With three players at AFCON, United's options are curtailed as Casemiro returns after a one-match suspension, influencing midfield choices.
  • Only two wing-backs, Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu, are fit to play, limiting wide options, while Manuel Ugarte is expected in the deep midfield role with Casemiro.
  • After Sunday's 2-1 defeat, United need a response to salvage league momentum as Newcastle will target the midfield where they often outperform United and exploit absences.
  • With the squad stretched, United faces selection debates as recent results, including a 2-1 loss on Sunday, highlight defensive issues and injury-related constraints.
