[4-2-3-1]: Rashford recalled, Bruno replaced with academy starlet and NEW permanent captain named- Man United’s predicted lineup against Newcastle United as Ruben Amorim confirms the removal of Bruno Fernandes as the club captain

Both Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte are not available for tonight’s encounter between Manchester United and Newcastle, which is the final match of the 2024 season. Both players are suspended.

Fernandes is suspended for the remainder of the season because he received a red card during the 2-0 loss to Wolves on Boxing Day, and Ugarte is also suspended since he received five yellow cards in the Premier League.

As a result, Ruben Amorim will need to reevaluate his midfield strategy in preparation for Newcastle’s upcoming match.

There is a possibility that Christian Eriksen or Caserino may be added to the squad, and Alejandro Garnacho may be called up to play as one of the dual No. 10 positions.

On the other hand, Matthijs de Ligt is a potential candidate to return to the defense.

In the absence of Fernandes, Amorim will also be need to make a decision over his captain. It is highly likely that Harry Maguire will be selected as the captain of the side.

In response to your question, Amorim stated, “You will have to wait until the game and see the captain.”

Amorim stated the following about Maguire: “He works really well, he is focused on the job itself and not what other people say.”

Even although he went through some challenging times, he does not have any excuses. It is my opinion that he serves as an example in that capacity. He is there to play, to assist the club, and he is making an effort to do both of those things.

Onana, Yoro, De Ligt, Maguire, Mazraoui, Mainoo, Casemiro, Dalot, Eriksen, Amad, and Hojlund makes up the predicted starting eleven for Manchester United.

In suspension are Fernandes and Ugarte.

Mount, Lindelof, and Shaw are all injured.
