Manchester United are making final preparations for their last home game of the season this evening, as they face Newcastle United. The Reds, who were defeated by Arsenal on Sunday, currently occupy eighth place in the Premier League. Therefore, the upcoming match against Newcastle carries significant importance for their chances of securing European qualification.
The club is also gearing up for the forthcoming summer transfer window, with ongoing interest in several players. Of particular note is the speculation surrounding Bruno Fernandes, who has attracted attention from Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan. Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo has voiced support for Al-Nassr’s pursuit of Fernandes.
Manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed the return of Lisandro Martinez for tonight’s match, following a month-long absence due to a calf injury. Additionally, there are hopes for the returns of Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
Furthermore, there have been reports linking United to a number of players including Ollie Watkins, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Denzel Dumfries.
