Manchester United is thinking of acquiring one of the important backstage players from Newcastle United after the Magpies have lost three straight games.
For Toon supporters, the 2023 Carabao Cup final still evokes painful memories, but Eddie Howe’s team has dominated Man United ever since.
After Howe exacted revenge on Erik ten Hag for his remarks last season, the Magpies defeated the team 3-0 at St. James’ Park. Later that November, Newcastle emerged victorious in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
Then, last week, it was back to St. James’ Park, where Anthony Gordon’s goal caused Man United even more suffering. As their decline under the Glazers continues, they were appalling.
However, change is imminent as Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to acquire a share in the team and assume management of the Old Trafford football operations.
That agreement is anticipated to close soon, and according to a recent TalkSPORT article, Ratcliffe intends to take one of Newcastle’s key players in order to ignite the club’s comeback.
