Reds Aim To Continue Title Charge
Rene Meulensteen has named a strong Reserves side to face Newcastle on Thursday night.
Birthday boy Gerard Piqué, Giuseppe Rossi, Phil Bardsley and Ritchie Jones bring vital first-team experience as the Reds look to further their lead over Middlesbrough.
Makeshift right-back Phil Marsh and Kieran Lee continue on the flanks, with Bardsley and Piqué in the centre of defence.
In central midfield, Darron Gibson returns from injury and Ritchie Jones is back in the frame following his recall from Antwerp, while Markus Neumayr and Kyle Moran occupy the wings.
Upfront, the budding partnership of Rossi and Fraizer Campbell will look to continue their fine run of form - the last two games have seen the pair net seven goals between them.
United: Steele, Marsh, K Lee, Bardsley, Piqué, R Jones, Neumayr, Gibson, Campbell, Rossi, Moran.
Substitutes: Cathcart, Zieler, Rose, S Evans, Brandy.
