For the final time in the 2023-24 season, Manchester United take to the Old Trafford turf on Wednesday evening, when Newcastle United arrive for a Premier League battle.

The Red Devils were condemned to their 14th league defeat of a forgettable campaign on Sunday, as Arsenal prevailed 1-0 at the Theatre of Dreams thanks to a Leandro Trossard goal.

Man United's latest setback leaves them eighth in the table with a three-point gap to make up to Newcastle and Chelsea, meaning that their hopes of qualifying for Europe via their league position could officially evaporate in midweek.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Magpies, who sit two places better off than their hosts in sixth spot.
