Whereas, Newcastle have only won two games in all preseason against Carlisle United and Deportivo La Coruna (winning on penalties) and their most recent game was a defeat against Rangers.Team NewsUnited go into the game with no injuries picked up in preseason with Oberton likely to have recovered from his ankle injury picked up in the MLS All stars game earlier this month. The Reds also have two notable midfield injuries Anderson and Hargreaves. Sir Alex could also give home debuts to Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez and even po sibly  Andrew Copp Jersey (https://www.deredwings.com/collections/andrew-copp-jersey) the Portuguese striker Bebe whose deal was completed earlier today. Newcastles new signings however are unlikely to feature as major signings: Sol Campbell and Dan Gosling are both unfit.
