Goal Scorer:
Newport County
Newport emerged unscathed from their fiery battle with Wrexham on Saturday, where Liverpool-owned wing-back Adam Lewis was given the green light to make the starting lineup after coming off at half time in the beating of Eastleigh.
Coughlan still has a pair of defensive absentees to work around, though, as 19-year-old Josh Seberry is on the mend from a fibula fracture, while Declan Drysdale (hamstring) did not make the cut against Wrexham either.
Kyle Jameson and Offrande Zanzala will also need once-overs before the visit of Man United, where the Exiles are bound to set up in their conservative 5-3-2 setup in a bid to frustrate their revered visitors, and Luke Jephcott could also make his debut after arriving from St Johnstone.
Newport County possible starting lineup:
Townsend; McLoughlin, Delaney, Clarke, Bennett, Lewis; Morris, Charsley, Wildig; Palmer-Houlden, Evans
Manchester United
As far as Man United are concerned, Anthony Martial - who ought to have earned a rare start on Sunday if fully fit - is facing 10 weeks on the sidelines after undergoing a groin operation, dashing the Red Devils' hopes of selling the soon-to-be free agent in the last knockings of the January transfer window.
Sofyan Amrabat and Andre Onana are also away at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Mason Mount (calf), Tyrell Malacia (knee) and Victor Lindelof (groin) are in the infirmary, but Luke Shaw (unspecified) and Harry Maguire (groin) could both make their competitive comebacks at Rodney Parade. Jonny Evans and Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, are illness doubts.
Both defenders took part in a recent friendly loss to Burnley behind closed doors, and with Onana finally vacating his place in goal, Altay Bayindir is in line for a belated Red Devils debut.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Bayindir; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Kambwala, Dalot; Mainoo, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Prediction: Newport County 0-3 Manchester United
