Man Utd v Newcastle (15:00 BST) Cristiano Ronaldo makes his first start for Manchester United since re-signing from Juventus last month. Ronaldo starts along with United's other two major summer signings Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes two changes from the side that started the 1-0 win at Wolves on 29 August, with Nemanja Matic also returning. There were thousands of Manchester United fans on hand to greet Cristiano Ronaldo on his arrival at Old Trafford. Only those lucky enough to get right at the front - and right in the corner - got a decent view of the Portugal superstar as he got off the team coach and took the handful of strides into the stadium. The atmosphere is growing. Daniel James, who started at Molineux, has since joined Leeds and Fred drops to the bench. Newcastle United make four changes to the side that drew 2-2 with Southampton last time out. Callum Wilson is out with a thigh injury. Joelinton is among those returning to the starting line-up. Man Utd XI: de Gea, Wan Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw, Pogba, Matic, Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Sancho, Ronaldo. Newcastle XI: Woodman, Manquillo, Hayden, Lascelles, Clark, Ritchie, Willock, Longstaff, Almiron, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin.
