Here’s the latest Manchester United and Newcastle injury news ahead if the Premier League clash at Old Trafford…

Bruno Fernandes: The Manchester United captain has been ruled out of the game after suffering a hamstring injury against Aston Villa. Ruben Amorim expects the midfielder to be out for “a while,” though he declined to provide a specific return date for the influential playmaker.
Kobbie Mainoo: Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo will also miss the upcoming clash due to a calf injury sustained during a training session last Saturday. While he is unavailable for now, Amorim indicated that Mainoo is expected to recover and return to action faster than Fernandes.
Harry Maguire and Mathijs de Ligt: Centre-backs Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt remain unavailable for selection as they continue to recover from their respective injuries. Maguire is battling a hamstring problem, while De Ligt is sidelined with a back issue, though Amorim noted that their recovery is progressing.
Tino Livramento: Newcastle manager Eddie Howe provided an encouraging update on Tino Livramento, suggesting his knee injury may not be as serious as first feared. The club is waiting for final clarification, but they hope the defender can resume training quickly rather than facing a long-term layoff.
Sven Botman: Defender Sven Botman is making good progress in his recovery from a back injury and is described as being “not too far away” from a return. However, he has not yet rejoined full group training, making his involvement in the Boxing Day game unlikely.
Widespread Newcastle Absentees: Despite some positive individual updates, Newcastle are still expected to be without up to EIGHT players for the trip to Old Trafford. This list of confirmed absentees include Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier, Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles and William Osula.
Nick Pope: Magpies goalkeeper Nick Pope has a chance to feature against Manchester United after recovering from a groin issue. He was expected to return to training just before the match, which would provide a significant boost to Newcastle’s defensive options.
AFCON impact: United have players away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. United are without Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui, while Newcastle have no players at the tournament.
