READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
The last thing Newcastle should be concerned about this weekend is who the referee for the game is. The defeat to Leicester was embarrassing and Steve Bruce needs his players to prove that they have what it takes to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Turning in a good performance against Manchester United could the be the rallying call needed to unite the club with the fans and push on for the rest of the season.
