Manchester United meet Newcastle United this weekend for the first time since besting them in the Carabao Cup final. First-half goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford saw United leave Wembley with the season's first piece of silverware.
But Erik ten Hag may now have to travel to St James' Park without either. The former is out after being shown a second straight red card of the season against Southampton last time out.
