Manchester United will be looking to have a taste of success in the game against Newcastle and sign off for an international break on a good note.
Newcastle may come in as a relief in disguise for United, considering the dull form they are in. With no wins registered to their name, Magpies stand 18th in the table having 2 points.
Not to discredit Benitez’ side for their efforts against big names of the premier league like Manchester City, and making them work hard for a 2-1 win.
United should not mistake their opponents for an easy team looking at their points because the Magpies will be up for a fight against an unappealing home side.
