Sergio Romero is expected to protect once again the Red Devils target , as David de Gea is still linked with a move to Real Madrid and probably will be watching once again the game from the stands.

Newcastle United
The Magpies are still looking for the first win of the season , as they’ve won only 1 point against Southampton, which was followed with a loose against Swansea City last week.
Newcastle have been boosted up with another signing this summer , as the winger Florian Thauvin arrived from Marseille on a deal that will send Remy Cabella to the French side on a 1 year loan deal.Paul Simpson admits that Newcastle fans will probably see Thauvin in action this week-end against Manchester United.
“If he’s involved at Old Trafford on Saturday, we’re not expecting him to go and set the world alight straight away but, if we can get him involved, it’ll give the whole football club a boost and the rest of the players because they want competition for places.” said Paul Simpson. “And I also hope it’ll give the supporters a boost because, so far, we’ve only got one point”.
