[4-2-3-1]: Formation changed, Mainoo out and NEW captain named- Man United’s predicted lineup against Newcastle United as Ruben Amorim confirms many shocking changes ahead of the clash

It is expected that Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim will be need to make at least two substitutions to his starting lineup for the Premier League match that will take place on Monday at Old Trafford against Newcastle United.

Due to suspension, the Red Devils will be without the services of both Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte. The former was shown a red card against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing Day, and the latter received a milestone yellow card. Both of these players will be unable to play for the Red Devils.

Despite the fact that Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw are all out with injuries, the Red Devils did not have any new fitness issues throughout their most recent match, which was a loss at Molineux by two goals.

It is being speculated that Harry Maguire will take over as captain of the team in the absence of Fernandes. As a result, Matthijs de Ligt might continue to sit on the bench. This is because the Netherlands international has not yet fully recovered from a recent illness.

As a result of Fernandes’ absence, Alejandro Garnacho may be given the opportunity to make his first start since being left out of the team for the Manchester derby. The Argentina international had the possibility of playing with Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo in the attack.

On the other hand, it is highly probable that Casemiro will be the player who will gain from the absence of Ugarte.

Marcus Rashford was not included in the squad for the match against Wolves, and it is highly improbable that the England international, who is being extensively linked with a departure in January, would be able to return for the match against Newcastle on Monday night.

A probable starting lineup for Manchester United would consist of the following players: Onana; Yoro; Maguire; Martinez; Mazraoui; Casemiro; Mainoo; Dalot; Amad; Hojlund; Garnacho
