In the last contest vs the Magpies, the likes of Luke Shaw and Nemanja Matic started but now the former is suffering from a knock and the latter has got an ankle injury (PhysioRoom).
As per the provided PhysioRoom link, the good news for Man United is that the Serbian international is expected to recover from his ankle concern to feature against his former team.
