Manchester United started the new seasоn with two wins and one draw. They are among the teams that share the second place, two points behind the leaders Tottenham. Many believe this could be their season. And there is a reason for that - Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the club. CR7 completed his signing two days after the previous game against Wolverhampton and the Portuguese international is now eligible to play here. And there is no doubt manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will start with Ronaldo. He scored in the finish of the match against the Republic of Ireland last Thursday and received a yellow card for his shirtless celebration, which meant he was suspended for Portugal’s next qualifier against Azerbaijan. Because of that, Ronaldo returned early from international duty and reacquaint himself with Man United’s training complex at Carrington on Tuesday. The prospects of Ronaldo starting against the Magpies have surely increased given he will have had four training sessions until Friday. In addition, some players are sidelined. Scott McTominay is back in training following groin surgery but this match comes too soon for him, while the Brazilian international Fred is suspended due to a FIFA-imposed ban. Marcus Rashford is still unavailable, he is recovering from a shoulder operation.
Newcastle have just one points after the first three rounds. They lost 4:2 to West Ham and lost 2:0 to Aston Villa in the opening matches of the season. The series was stopped in the third week when they shared the points with Southampton. It was an interesting and dynamic match that ended 2:2. The Magpies had looked set to pick up their first win of the season after Saint-Maximin struck in the 90th minute, firing in from a loose ball after Alex McCarthy had initially denied Ryan Fraser's effort. However, James Ward-Prowse scored a dramatic 96th-minute penalty and Southampton earned a point in a thrilling encounter at St James Park. Callum Wilson scored the first goal. Steve Bruce's men will try to get something from Old Trafford, but it will be extremely tough. Newcastle have lost their last three Premier League games against Man United. To be worse, Newcastle have not won at Old Trafford in the Premier League since December 2013. Bruce has some additional issues as Callum Wilson picked up a thigh problem in the match with Southampton and is set to miss out. Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, Jonjo Shelvey, Ryan Fraser, Karl Darlow and Elliott Anderson are also unavailable through injury, while Isaac Hayden and Paul Dummett are rated as doubtful. Miguel Almiron, meanwhile, is suspended due to the same ruling that will force Fred to miss this match.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United Prediction:
I expect Manchester United to win this match. Even more, I think they will win with at least two goals. Like they did on the previous three occasions. Solskjaer’s team won both matches last season, 4:1 win at St. James Park in October 2020 was followed up by a 3:1 home win in February this year. It is clear the Red Devils are in better form. They are now even stronger with Cristiano Ronaldo, so I expect a high victory for Manchester United.
