The 'Red Devils' are not in their best form, so it is not the ideal time for key players to be out of action. This is the case of the attacker, Jesse Lingard, who will be out for at least a week. It is not known whether he will be able to return to Liverpool, but perhaps his coach would prefer not to risk him.
This is one more problem for the team, who are not managing to be the best in their category. They have had three draws in a row that shaped a streak that began with a defeat. A victory is needed soon to set the course desired by the management.
Lingard had been playing all the previous games, so Manchester United's coach will have to find solutions to replace his fall from the lists. He has played nine games this season, five of which he started.
He will miss out on the game against the 'Magpies' and maybe also against the 'Reds'. These games are of transcendental importance for the team's development in the Premier League. He will be working very hard with the doctors to return as soon as possible.
