Newcastle's exciting Manchester United plan revealed as end of season league target hinted at

Dan Burn has vowed that Newcastle United will go 'toe-to-toe' with Manchester United at Old Trafford at the weekend because the Magpies 'don't fear anyone' anymore.

It is a battle between fifth and sixth on Sunday as Newcastle face Erik ten Hag's side in Manchester. Newcastle have only won once at the so-called Theatre of Dreams since 1972, but Eddie Howe's side travel to the North West full of confidence after already putting Fulham and Brentford to the sword this month.

It won't be an easy game, of course, but Brighton and Real Sociedad have already shown this season that Manchester United can be got at in their own backyard. Also, unlike the hosts, who face Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday night, Newcastle will have had the benefit of a clear week to prepare for this match.
