Manchester United team news ‘leak’ and expected starting XI to face Newcastle United

Marcus Rashford has been spotted travelling with his Manchester United teammates for their Premier League clash against Newcastle United.

Erik ten Hag side’s arrived on Tyneside on Saturday ahead of this afternoon’s 4:30pm kick-off.

Man United’s top scorer was forced to withdraw from the England squad after picking up a toe injury in his side’s 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final win over Fulham last time out.

Rashford only took part in some light training at the beginning of the week but ten Hag is optimistic about the 25-year-old’s fitness.

“I’ve good hope, he trained but he had to do some treatment, he had to do some individual training, today he joined in with the group,” the Dutchman said. “We have one more day. I have a good hope he will be available.”

Ten Hag is also set to welcome back Anthony Martial, who hasn’t featured since January due to a thigh injury. He will, however, be without the suspended Casemiro and the injured Christian Eriksen, Donny van de Beek and Alejandro Garnacho.
