Man United Fitness Latest for Newcastle Test as Michael Carrick Explains Double Wait

Michael Carrick is assessing fitness of Maguire and Shaw after illness, with other key players sidelined due to injury ahead of the Premier League match at Newcastle.

  • On Tuesday, Manchester United travelled to Tyneside with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw included as Michael Carrick gives them extra time to prove fitness for Wednesday's match at St James' Park.
  • Carrick confirmed the players were unwell, with Shaw withdrawn in the first half and Maguire later during Sunday's victory over Crystal Palace.
  • Absences for Martinez, Mount and de Ligt increase selection pressure, with Martinez missing 2 matches and Mount out for 5 games, Carrick said.
  • Carrick says he'll give them every chance as he assesses fitness, noting they'll see how they feel today and tomorrow morning before finalising the starting XI.
  • Newcastle's own absences include Bruno Guimaraes, Fabian Schar and Lewis Miley, while Tino Livramento is close to returning and Nick Woltemade is a doubt after illness.
