17:02 GMT - Marcus Rashford has arrived at Old Trafford ahead of Man Utd's match against Newcastle later this evening.

The 27-year-old has missed the last four matches after giving an interview in which he expressed a desire for a "new challenge", and was reportedly put up for sale by the club.

Rashford could feature with the club in desperate need of inspiration. The Red Devils have lost their last three games and have slid down to 14th in the Premier League table.

16:00 GMT - Ahead of their match with Newcastle tonight, Man Utd defender Harry Maguire has said the club's transition from Erik ten Hag to Ruben Amorim will not be easy as their styles are completely different.

"They are the total opposite in terms of what they want and what they demand," Maguire told Sky Sports.

"So the transition period is going to be tough. We all have great belief in the manager and all his coaching staff. I am sure things are going to turn around."

You can read his interview here.
