Manchester United will be eager to show their intentions of seriously challenging for a top-four position when they visit struggling Newcastle at St James' Park in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have struggled for both form and consistency since the start of the season, opening their campaign with a 4-0 win over Chelsea but finding themselves languishing in 10th place and enduring their worst-ever start to a Premier League season.
A 1-1 draw to Arsenal in their last league game did nothing to raise spirits, and a strong display against the Magpies - who have not tasted victory since August and were annihilated 5-0 by Leicester last weekend - could be the perfect opportunity for United to show they are still capable of competing amongst their closest rivals.
