Magpies can hurt Red Devils
Newcastle will be desperate to get revenge on Manchester United after Erik ten Hag’s side beat them in the final of the Carabao Cup last season.
Magpies boss Eddie Howe and his men have shown they can compete with the best in recent times and knocked out Manchester City in the previous round.
Newcastle have also beaten PSG 4-1 in the Champions League, in stark contrast to Manchester United’s struggles. They have lost to the likes of Crystal Palace and Galatasaray in recent weeks.
The Red Devils were defeated 3-0 by rivals Manchester City on Sunday and in truth it could have quite easily been a larger margin, with the latter stages played out like a training game for Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions.
Newcastle are unbeaten in their past four away matches and Manchester United have lost four of their previous seven home games in all competitions.
We are backing the Magpies to get the victory at Old Trafford and knock Manchester United out of the cup, condemning Ten Hag to more yet more pressure.
Manchester United vs Newcastle tip 1: Newcastle to win @ 12/5 with Paddy Power
Wilson can continue from weekend
With Alexander Isak out injured, Callum Wilson will lead the Newcastle front line against United and the England man will be desperate to continue his fine form in front of goal.
He has appeared nine times in the Premier League this season, netting seven times in that period, which ranks him fourth in the division’s top-scorer charts.
The former Bournemouth striker has had six shots in his previous two Premier League starts, scoring three times, and now he is back as first choice to start up front we are backing him to find the back of the net at Old Trafford.

Amrabat in for tough affair
Sofyan Amrabat, on loan to the Red Devils from Fiorentina, is still desperate to make an impact on the side’s first XI. The 27-year-old has put in some inconsistent performances since arriving in the North West, leaving many fans sceptical about whether he can be a success in the top flight.
The Dutch-born Morocco international’s recent disciplinary record does not make for good reading either.
Amrabat has picked up two yellow cards in just five Premier League appearances since joining United, the second one coming during Sunday’s Manchester derby.
Newcastle attackers Miguel Almiron and Anthony Gordon are not afraid of running at players and, as a team, the Magpies have been fouled a combined 127 times in just 10 Premier League matches so far this season – the third highest in the division.
Amrabat has committed on average 1.8 fouls per game in the Premier League since arriving at Old Trafford – and we are backing him to be booked against Newcastle.
