Manchester United travel to St James’ Park tonight with the aim of beating Newcastle in the Premier League to extend their unbeaten away run to six games.
The Red Devils sit third in the table under manager Michael Carrick, who has won five of his first six games in charge. Manager Michael Carrick’s side will now look to consolidate their top-four spot with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday. It is worth noting that Manchester United has only lost one of the past 11 away games in the Premier League, which is a significant improvement from the previous 11 away games.

Manchester United team news
Michael Carrick’s side are dealing with fresh defensive concerns after two of their veteran stars felt unwell during the weekend’s win. It’s worth noting that Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire are being monitored; Nussel Mazraoui and Eden Paradise are ready to step in if they fail to start. As a result, the head coach is likely to hand forward Benjamin Sesko, the first player in the league starting lineup, as he made the game-winning contribution off the bench. Notably, Sesco has scored seven goals in eight games since Ruben Amorim’s departure, averaging a goal every 49.7 minutes during that period.
Arne Lammence will start in goal behind a defense led by Leny Yoro and possibly Harry Maguire. In the midfield, Casemiro and Kobe Minu are expected to continue to work together, giving Bruno Fernandez a platform to be creative. It is worth noting that Fernandez has contributed 13 league assists this season, tying the record for the most assists by a Manchester United player in a single season since the 2011-12 season. Brian Mbemo and Matheus Cunha will provide threat from the wings as United seek to become the first team since 1931 to win four consecutive league games at St James’ Park.
Manchester United predicted lineup
Manchester United predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Ramens; Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Mainu; Mbemo, Fernandez, Cunha; Sesco
