PA:

Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic return to the Manchester United line-up as the Premiership leaders look to record a win at Newcastle on Monday.

The duo were both suspended for Saturday's home win over Reading but are virtually guaranteed their places back as Sir Alex Ferguson looks to freshen his side once more.

Rio Ferdinand (shin) is a doubt. But captain Gary Neville is back, after United denied claims he needed surgery to cure a long-standing calf injury.

Kick-off at St James' Park is at 5:15pm.

Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Evra, Heinze, Ronaldo, Park, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, O'Shea, Giggs, Richardson, Rooney, Solskjaer, Saha.
