Why Christian Eriksen is not in Manchester United squad vs Newcastle

Christian Eriksen is not in the squad as Manchester United take on Newcastle United on Sunday due to illness, Erik ten Hag has confirmed.

United will be looking to make it a fourth win in succession following two victories over Omonia Nicosia and a hard-fought triumph over Everton last weekend when they take on the visiting Magpies.

Eddie Howe's team are in a great run of form themselves, having lost just once this season and are undefeated in their last four, scoring nine goals in their last two victories.

Getting all three points could be tough for United as they're missing several players for the match. The standout absentee is Eriksen, with the playmaker not starting in the Premier League for the first time this season.
