If Newcastle United wins on Sunday, they could move ahead of Manchester United in the Premier League table. This makes the game even more important for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team.

Marcus Rashford has been on fire this season, scoring 27 goals in 44 games. Since coming back from the World Cup in Qatar, he has scored 19 goals in 24 games. Bruno Fernandes, who has five goals, is the next best scorer in the league after him, so Manchester United needs him to play.
