Manchester United-Newcastle is a match valid for the fourth round of the League Cup and is played on Wednesday at 9:15 p.m.: likely lineups and predictions.
Another defeat. One that really hurts. Last Sunday, on the stage of Old Trafford, Guardiola and Haalands Manchester City once again reaffirmed their city supremacy, inflicting a severe lesson (0-3) on their cousins Manchester United.
New barrage of criticism against Erikten Hag, who had come back to breathe after three consecutive Premier and Champions League victories against Brentford, Sheffield United and Copenhagen. But, as soon as the Red Devils were called upon to raise the level,then the usual problemsreturned: the gap with the Cytizens appeared sharper than expected, in all respects. Sharp setback also in the standings, where United remains eighth, with a full eight points to make up on fourth-placed Liverpool. The opportunity to restart almost immediately and put behind them the disappointing performance in the extracittadina grants them the League Cup, a competition in which ten Hag‘s men are called upon to defend their title In the fourth round is staged just the “re-run” of the last final
Last February, in fact, United ended its title fast thanks to a victory againstNewcastle, its opponent in the last act at Wembley, which ended 2-0 for the Red Devils.

The Magpies will therefore attempt to avenge that defeat, despite the fact that they too have to deal with numerous ups and downs. Without Tonali – the former Milan player was disqualified for 10 months after a plea bargain in the betting affair – EddieHowes team did not go beyond a draw in last Saturday’s match at Molineux, against Wolverhampton (2-2). The Bianconeri failed to turn the page after their Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund, slowing their chase toward fourth place.
