Manchester United take on Newcastle United this weekend with the aim of picking up just a second win in six Premier League matches.

The Red Devils have been held by Everton and West Bromwich Albion in successive league games, though they did thrash Real Sociedad 4-0 in the Europa League on Thursday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men trail leaders Manchester City by 10 points and need to string together another winning run, starting with this visit of lowly Newcastle.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Man United could line up at Old Trafford on Sunday evening.

Out: Paul Pogba (thigh), Phil Jones (knee)
Doubtful: Edinson Cavani (muscle), Donny van de Beek (muscle), Scott McTominay (thigh)

Solskjaer may be forced to tinker with his forward line due to a knock sustained by Edinson Cavani prior to the Sociedad game.

However, Cavani still has a chance of being fit and Solskjaer will give the former Paris Saint-Germain striker every opportunity of being available.

With Paul Pogba out and Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek doubtful because of a thigh and muscle injury respectively, Nemanja Matic is in line to make his ninth league start of the season.

Amad Diallo made his much-anticipated debut against Sociedad on Thursday, while Daniel James scored his fifth goal in eight games for club and country, but both players are expected to start this one on the bench.

Marcus Rashford has been involved in six goals in his six Premier League appearances against Newcastle (three goals, three assists), and is likely to get the nod on the left-hand side, with Mason Greenwood - fresh on the back of penning a new deal - on the other flank.
