How Manchester United should line up in Premier League fixture vs Newcastle

Manchester United will be hoping to bring their three-game losing streak to an end when they welcome Newcastle United to Old Trafford on Monday evening.

United served up a limp performance against Wolves on Boxing Day, falling to a 2-0 defeat at Molineux, marking a third defeat in the space of just eight days.

As a result, United will head into the clash with the Magpies in M16 closer to the bottom three than they will the top four. It means a little bit of pressure is already being weighted onto the shoulders of head coach Ruben Amorim.

Ahead of the clash with the Magpies, Amorim will have to make do without suspended duo Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes, meaning at least two changes to the starting XI are guaranteed. Below, our United writers have had their say on how they would like to see Amorim set his team up.

Samuel Luckhurst:

The team yours truly has picked gives the impression I am seeking the sack. United are back in Argo mode: there are only bad ideas and this is the best bad idea one has.
