Match Preview of Man United vs Newcastle
Manchester United will be bidding to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they welcome an in-form Newcastle United to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. The Red Devils are currently fifth in the table, boasting 15 points from their opening eight matches, while Newcastle are sixth with 14 points, although they have played a game more than Erik ten Hag's side.
There is no getting away from the fact that there have been some difficult moments for Ten Hag in the early stages of his career as Man United manager, namely the 4-0 loss at Brentford and 6-3 defeat at Manchester City, but there have been plenty of positive signs for the Dutchman.
Thursday's 1-0 success over Omonia in the Europa League, which came courtesy of a late Scott McTominay effort, made it eight wins from their last 10 games in all competitions, which has included five Premier League victories over Liverpool, Southampton, Leicester City, Arsenal and Everton.
A record of five wins and three defeats from eight matches has brought the Red Devils 15 points, which has left them in fifth position in the table, one point behind fourth-placed Chelsea and nine behind leaders Arsenal, albeit with a game in hand on the table-topping Gunners.
Man United came from behind to beat Everton in the league last weekend, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his first Premier League goal of the season, and Ten Hag's side will now be bidding to continue their strong run of form with a victory over an in-form Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.

Who will win the match?
We say: Manchester United 2-1 Newcastle United. This is a really, really tough game for Man United, with Newcastle impressing in the early stages of the 2022-23 campaign. The Magpies will arrive at Old Trafford full of confidence, while they will be the fresher of the two sides, but we are backing Man United to navigate their way to another victory this weekend.
