Man Utd v Newcastle: Obertan Returns
By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Club Reporter
Gabriel Obertan returns to the starting line-up for Newcastle United as they face Manchester United at Old Trafford this afternoon (3pm kick-off).
The winger has missed the last two games with a toe infection, but is fully recovered and comes back against his former side, for who he left for Tyneside in August.
Obertan replaces teenager Sammy Ameobi on the right flank, with the youngster dropping down to the substitutes' bench.
That aside, it is the same set of players who impressed last weekend at Manchester City but suffered a 3-1 defeat - only the Magpies' first Premier League reversal of the season.
It means Hatem Ben Arfa is once again given a free role just behind lone striker Demba Ba, and Danny Guthrie continues to deputise for the injured Cheick Tiote in the middle of the park.
Premier League champions Manchester United welcome back Wayne Rooney, and there is also a place for ex-Wallsend Boys Club midfielder Michael Carrick.
