All the latest Newcastle United news ahead of their match against Manchester United.
Newcastle United will play their first game since the international break on Sunday.
The Magpies are fighting for a top-four spot in the final stretch, and they face direct rivals Manchester United on Sunday. A win would bring Eddie Howe’s men level on points with the Red Devils, but a defeat would change the top four picture dramatically, with Liverpool and Tottenham looking to take control of their destiny.
As Newcastle and Manchester United finalize their preparations, we’ve compiled a list of all the latest St James’ Park news.
Alan Shearer has praised Newcastle striker Alexander Isak for his recent impressive form.
“The manager can’t afford to leave him out right now,” Shearer explained. “Not with his current form, the quality he’s shown, the goals he’s scored, and how dangerous he appears.” Forest’s performance exemplified everything he stands for.”
Isak was the Magpies’ record signing this summer, but he has struggled with injuries at times. He will now look to maintain his scoring form in order to help his team finish in the top four this season.
McTominay
Newcastle are still interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay. The midfielder is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer, with Howe reportedly keen.
“I’m sure Man United haven’t set a price for McTominay at this point,” Fabrizio Romano told CaughtOffside of the situation.
“They rejected all offers for McTominay in January, and now Ten Hag wants the squad to be completely focused on the final two months of the season.” Yes, Newcastle is still interested, but they are unaware of the midfielder’s asking price… yet.”
