Newcastle vs Manchester United team news: Rashford passed fit to start
Marcus Rashford has been drafted into Manchester United’s starting lineup after passing a late fitness test.
The England international was a doubt, but he will now bolster United’s attacking front against Newcastle United at St James Park on Sunday.
Manager Erik ten Hag has made two changes from his lineup that started against Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-final game.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jadon Sancho come on for Diogo Dalot and Antony.
