The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!

Newcastle have opened the scoring in six of their last eight Premier League meetings with Manchester United, but have gone on to win just two of those (L4).

Bruce makes four changes to his team after their draw with Southampton before the international break, with Manquillo, Hayden, Clark and Joelinton coming into the side. Callum Wilson is missing due to a thigh strain, while Murphy, Fernandez and Schar start on the bench.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes two changes from the side that beat Wolves last time out, with Ronaldo making his second debut for the club as he starts up top. Matic is also brought in and Fred drops to the bench.

NEWCASTLE UNITED SUBS: Fabian Schar, Joe White, Karl Darlow, Jacob Murphy, Jamal Lewis, Federico Fernandes, Dwight Gayle, Jeff Hendrick, Emil Krafth.

NEWCASTLE UNITED STARTING XI (5-3-2): Freddy Woodman; Javier Manquillo, Isaac Hayden, Jamaal Lascelles, Ciaran Clark, Matt Ritchie; Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff, Miguel Almiron; Joelinton, Allan Saint-Maximin.

MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Victor Lindelof, Juan Mata, Tom Heaton, Donny van de Beek, Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard, Fred, Diogo Dalot, Eric Bailly.

MANCHESTER UNITED STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw; Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic; Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho; Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United have made an unbeaten start to their season, picking up two wins and a draw in their opening three matches so far. They’ll be looking to continue that run here today, but all eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo as he makes his return to the club he left 12 years ago. They face a Newcastle side that are yet to win a game this season in all competitions (D2 L2). Steve Bruce’s team did get their first point of the season last time out before the international break though in a 2-2 draw with Southampton.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Manchester United and Newcastle United at Old Trafford!
