Home > News Man Utd v Newcastle: Two Changes 26-12-2014 Alan Pardew has made two changes to his Newcastle starting line-up for their trip to Manchester United By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Managing Editor At Old Trafford Alan Pardew has made two changes to his Newcastle United starting line-up for Boxing Days Barclays Premier League trip to Manchester United. Vurnon Anita makes his first start in exactly two months, while 17-year-old forward Adam Armstrong is handed his full league debut for the Magpies. The duo replace Cheick Tiote , who is suspended, and wide man Sammy Ameobi . United are expected to start in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with goalkeeper Jak Alnwick behind a back four of Daryl Janmaat , Steven Taylor , captain Fabricio Coloccini and Paul Dummett . Anita and Jack Colback will anchor the visitors midfield at Old Trafford, with Ayoze Perez , Moussa Sissoko and Yoan Gouffran ahead of them. And after a handful of eye-catching cameos from the bench, England Under-18 international Armstrong will lead Newcastles attack, hoping to net his first senior goal for the Club. Pardew has plenty of attacking options among his replacements, with seven-goal leading scorer Papiss Cisse , Emmanuel Riviere , Haris Vuckic and Remy Cabella all named as substitutes. And they are joined by defenders Mike Williamson and Lubomir Satka, and teenage goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.
