Paul Merson has made his prediction for Manchester United’s crucial clash with Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.
Currently, the most in-form team in the league, Erik ten Hag will be hoping that his side can carry the momentum from their win at Goodison into this weekend.
However, Newcastle will also be coming into this game with high confidence after their 4-1 hammering of Chelsea last Saturday.
But although they both are coming off impressive league wins, their form in Europe has been a completely different matter.
The two sides currently sit bottom and tied bottom of their Champions League groups after drawing their respective games midweek.
With anything both a win in their next two games set to knock both sides out, attention will turn to their Premier League campaigns.
One point is all that separates the two teams with Sky Sports pundit, Merson, claiming that he would be shocked if Eddie Howe’s side didn’t leapfrog the Red Devils in the table.
“I don’t see Manchester United toughing it out against Newcastle United.” He said in an interview with SportsKeeda.
“Manchester United are more ruthless than Chelsea but the Magpies were excellent last weekend and I’d be shocked if they don’t win this week.”
Man united are out of the champions league and they hope to focus on the premier league.
There’s no way for top.4. as long as TenHag sticks around thanks to Fergie’s invention, no FA cup for us, what a falling star united has become
Mmanutd. Is a right royal mess now, has been for the last 10.years+. But at the root of the problem is the very icon that made united a global force, he’s right behind TenHag and the gluttonous glazers
