Manchester United fire Newcastle Champions League warning amid Ferdinand and Scholes title debate

Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand refused to be drawn into discussion regarding Manchester United's title chances after the Red Devils win in the Manchester derby. Erik Ten Hag's side came from behind to win 2-1, albeit in dramatic fashion at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford was not adjudged to have interfered with play as Bruno Fernandes equalised for the hosts. The win lifts Man United above Newcastle into third place and just a point behind Man City.

Eddie Howe's men could move back above the Red Devils with a win over Fulham, given their impressive goal difference, which would also close the gap to Pep Guardiola's side. City are still regarded as some people's favourites to win the title, but Arsenal could move eight points clear with a win in the North London derby on Sunday.
