The Red Devils will have one eye on next week's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon after they played out a 2-2 draw in Thursday's meeting in France.

Ruben Amorim will hope his team can warm up for the return European fixture by ending a three-game winless run in their Premier League game against a Newcastle side that have won four competitive matches in a row.

Man United are out of European contention in the Premier League, sitting in 13th place with just 38 points to their name after 31 matches.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash against the Magpies, who currently occupy fifth place in the standings.

Martinez has been unavailable since he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in February's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace. It typically takes around six months to recover from such a serious injury, meaning the Argentine is likely to be out until at least the latter stages of the year.

Diallo has played since featuring in Man United's FA Cup win over Leicester City on February 7. It was initially thought that he would miss the remainder of the season, but there is hope that he could still have a role to play in the 2024-25 campaign.

Evans remains sidelined with a muscle problem that has kept him out of action since December. It is currently unclear when the experienced defender will be ready to come back into the matchday squad.
