Carabao Cup Talking Points: Manchester United v Newcastle United and Possible Manchester United Starting XI

Manchester United would seek to defend their title as the existing Carabao Cup holders when they face Newcastle United on Wednesday night at Old Trafford.

The Reds would hope to bounce back with a win after last weekend’s debacle in the Manchester Derby. Manchester United were seemingly outclassed in every department on the pitch.

Erik Ten Hag recently stated in his interview, that the best rejoinder to last weekend’s shoddy outing would be a statement win against their opponent in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

Manchester United have recently received an injury boost, with Casemiro reportedly available again for selection and Amad Diallo back on the grass. Manchester United could still be without the majority of their key players Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia.

Similarly, Newcastle have also been dealt with by big injury squalls to Isak in their last Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, Botman is also another vital figure who will be missing in action for Newcastle as they take on Manchester United.

Manchester United has since been predicted to include fresh legs on Wednesday evening in the Carabao Cup game. The lineup is seen below;

Potential lineup to face Newcastle?

Pellistri, Martial, Garnacho, Casemiro, Reguilón, Maguire, Varane, Dalot, Onana

A win will prove rudimentary to Manchester United as they hope to get back to good form and qualify for the next round.
