Louis van Gaal has made one
change to the side that beat
Sunderland on Saturday for
Manchester United's visit to St
James' Park to face Newcastle
United, with Marouane Fellaini
replacing Radamel Falcao in
attack.
The Belgian came on for Falcao at
the weekend, just minutes after the
striker had won the Reds a penalty
which was coolly dispatched by
captain Wayne Rooney.
Angel Di Maria is also named in the
starting XI despite struggling to find
his best form against the Black Cats.
Luke Shaw and Victor Valdes, who
both missed Saturday's win, remain
unavailable, but Phil Jones , who
was ill at the weekend, is named
amongst the Reds' substitutes.
United's starting line-up: De Gea,
Valencia, Smalling, Evans, Rojo,
Blind, Herrera, Di Maria, Fellaini,
Young, Rooney.
Subs: Lindegaard, Jones, McNair,
Carrick, Mata, Januzaj, Falcao.
Newcastle starting line-up: Krul;
Janmaat, Coloccini, Williamson,
R.Taylor; Obertan, Sissoko,
Abeid, Ameobi; Riviere, Cisse.
Subs: Woodman, Satka, Anita,
Gutierrez, Gouffran, Armstrong,
Perez.
