Fletcher poised for full United debut against Newcastle?
Manchester United’s prodigy Jack Fletcher is poised to make his full debut for the Red Devils in the forthcoming Premier League match against Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are currently lacking depth in the midfield due to injuries affecting Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo. Although Casemiro has returned from suspension, there are worries regarding Manuel Ugarte’s dip in form. This situation might open the door for Mason Mount to take a position in central midfield alongside Casemiro, potentially allowing Fletcher to make his debut in the attacking midfield role. With Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo away representing their national teams, United is devoid of any senior specialist to fill the number 10 spot alongside Matheus Cunha. During his pre-match press conference, manager Ruben Amorim expressed strong admiration for Fletcher, noting that he performed ‘very well’ in the match against Aston Villa. The 18-year-old appeared as a substitute last weekend and may get the chance to start against the Magpies on Boxing Day.
