Magpies manager Steve McClaren will be hoping his side can bounce back from their defeat at Swansea City last time out. Here’s the XI he’s picked, per Newcastle:

The Red Devils have been functional rather than fluid in their opening two matches, but they will be hoping to click into gear in front of their home supporters for this one. Should Newcastle fall to defeat they’d have just one point from their first three matches, meaning a positive result is vital for the Tyneside club.
