Fletcher set for United start

Darren Fletcher is expected to make his first start in 10 months for Manchester United in their Capital One Cup clash with Newcastle at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Fletcher is on the comeback trail as he tries to combat a chronic bowel problem.

New-boy Angelo Henriquez – who is not available for Champions League games as United did not receive international clearance in time for him to be registered - is available, whilst Nick Powell and Alex Buttner are also amongst those set to make Alex Ferguson’s starting line-up.

Team (from): De Gea, Lindegaard, Johnstone, Rafael, Evans, Keane, Vidic, Buttner, Valencia, Anderson, Nani, Carrick, Cleverley, Fletcher, Powell, Cole, Lingard, Vermijl, Tunnicliffe, Hernandez, Welbeck, Macheda, King.
