Rodney Parade takes center stage on Sunday as Newport County, a League Two team, aims to orchestrate a giant-killing act against Manchester United in their FA Cup fourth-round clash.
Graham Coughlan’s squad earned the opportunity for this prestigious encounter by overcoming Eastleigh with a 3-1 victory in a third-round replay. Their dream date with the Red Devils comes after Manchester United secured a 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic earlier this month.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted XI Vs Newport County
Defence
Altay Bayandir will function in goal for the Mancunian club looking to earn a clean sheet in this outing. Jonny Evans will form a defensive partnership with Willy Kambwala at the heart of Man United’s backline as they try to keep the opposition attackers at bay throughout the game.
Diogo Dalot will feature as the left-back while Aaron Wan-Bissaka operates on the other flank as the right-back. Ten Hag will ask both of them to keep things solid defensively and offer some decent service from the wide areas.
Midfield
Scott McTominay and Kobbie Mainoo will anchor the midfield for Man United as they try to win the possession at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Antony will function just ahead of them as part of ten Hag’s attack. Fernandes will need to figure out a way to create a few inviting chances for his teammates to score.
Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen will be named on ten Hag’s bench as they wait for a chance to impress in the second half.
Attack
Rasmus Hojlund will lead the line for the Red Devils on the attacking end of the field. He would be desperate to make a difference for Man United in this away encounter.
