Manchester United will travel to the Newcastle United this weekend, as the Red Devils look to bounce back in the Premier League. The entire Red Devils squad and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be eager to get an astounding win, amidst all the chaos surrounding the club. On the other hand, Newcastle will look to take all three points against a United side which looks vulnerable.
Manchester United would like to win comfortably against Newcastle, as it might help them gain the players’ confidence back. After being humbled by Tottenham at Old Trafford, several players are under scrutiny, including Harry Maguire, Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw. Thus, the Red Devils will be expected to come put with fire in their bellies as they have a point to prove.
Newcastle United have been good this season, having lost only one game yet. New signing Callum Wilson and talisman Saint-Maximin have been by far the team’s best players, notching up goals and assists. The last time these sides met at St. James’ Park, Newcastle came out as the surprise winners, with a goal from Matty Longstaff.
