Paul Scholes has warned Newcastle United the Red Devils' win over Barcelona in the Europa League with ease the pressure on Erik ten Hag's side heading into the Carabao Cup Final. Eddie Howe's side will lock horns with Manchester United on Sunday, in a quick turnaround for the North-West side.
The Magpies on the other hand, have had a week's rest following defeat to Liverpool at the weekend. However, Howe was of the belief that the Europa League clash against Barcelona would be more of a benefit to the Red Devils, with the danger of fatiguing the Newcastle players with information too early.
He told Chronicle Live: "There is that distraction here (Wembley talk) but there's also potential, going too early, you can fatigue the players mentally. When they are sitting just waiting for the match, which can drain you of energy.
