Erik ten Hag believes United are moving in the right direction despite Sunday’s 3 nil home defeat by Manchester City. The Red Devils will take on Newcastle in round four of the Carabao Cup tonight. It’s a repeat of last season’s EFL Cup final, which the Red Devils won 2-0.
The last time United played Newcastle was in April this year in the Premier league, United lost that game 2–0 at St. James’ Park. Fatigue is starting to set in at Newcastle, with the added demand of Champions League football this season.
The Tyne side are currently 6th on the Premier league table this season, whereas United are sitting in 8th position.
