Manchester United transfer news LIVE takeover latest plus Harry Kane updates

Manchester United players have returned from international duty and all eyes are now on Sunday and a massive game against Newcastle.

Erik ten Hag's side will travel to St James' Park this week looking to pick up where they left off in the hunt for the top four, following a near-perfect international break in which a number of Reds excelled. But confirmation of a knee injury has cast doubt on Marcel Sabitzer's availability.

Ten Hag will also be sweating over the fitness of Marcus Rashford. The striker returned to training on Monday following an injury but was only able to take part in an individual session with no ball work.
