Kieran Trippier could have played for Manchester United but has been key in Newcastle's revival

When Manchester United and Newcastle United face off in Sunday's Carabao Cup final - the man leading the latter could have been playing for the opposition.

Kieran Trippier is a leader in the truest sense for the Magpies - and the symbol of their new regime under manager Eddie Howe and their Saudi-led owners.

The England right back was the first signing of the club's new era in January 2022 - joining in a £12million deal from Atletico Madrid and helping the St. James' Park outfit avoid Premier League relegation.
