Newcastle have had a frustrating start to the Premier League season and currently sit 19th after seven games.
Steve Bruce’s side have five points on the board, with a win over Tottenham and draws against Watford and Brighton making up their positive results.
The Chronicle have published an article posing the question as to whether Steve Bruce should start both Matty and Sean Longstaff on Sunday.

Well…
Twitter: @ChronicleNUFC No otherwise Man U will want a deal for both of them in January! (@s_bruce2019)
Good point…
Twitter: @ChronicleNUFC No. When the teams as bad as it is and the crowd as impatient as it is, you could ruin a kid. Plus,… https://t.co/hQFb3wIXuI (@ChrisBlack10)

Should they both start against Manchester United?
No. To throw Matty Longstaff in for his full Premier League debut against Manchester United in what could be a toxic atmosphere is the recipe for a disaster. Not to mention that Sean Longstaff has looked far from his best in recent weeks, with some lethargic performances in the middle of the park.
Bruce should call upon his experience on Sunday and look to make the game as tight as possible, so to avoid another humiliation like the 5-0 defeat at the hands of Leicester.
