Fletcher set for full United debut vs Newcastle?

Manchester United wonderkid Jack Fletcher could make his full debut for the Red Devils during the upcoming Premier League clash against Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are presently short in the midfield department with the injuries to Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo. Casemiro is back from suspension, but there are concerns over Manuel Ugarte's poor form.

This could pave the way for Mason Mount to start in central midfield alongside Casemiro, which could see a full debut for Fletcher in the attacking midfield department.

With Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo away on international duty, United don't have any other senior specialist for the number 10 role to partner Matheus Cunha.

In his pre-match presser, manager Ruben Amorim was full of praise for Fletcher and said that he did a 'very good' job against Aston Villa.

The 18-year-old made his debut as a substitute last weekend and could be unleashed from the off against the Magpies on Boxing Day.
