Second half was played at a frantic pace full of mistakes and Newcastle were rewarded with a penalty when Smalling brought down Mitrovic inside the box who stepped up and scored the penalty. United were hammered with wave of Newcastle attacks afterwards but Rooney scored a super goal to get united infront but late goal from Dummett earned a well deserved draw for Newcastle United.

Newcastle United on the other hand sit 18th in the table 2 points behind 17th place Swansea City, Steve McLaren need a good result against under pressure United and this is their chance top put pressure on the reds and get a result at home. As far as team news concerned from St James Park, Riviere, Colback and Aarons are said to have recovered from their respective injuries and might be used at some point in the game. Although Moussa Sissoko and Tiote should keep their place in central midfield while Wijnaldum, Thauvin and De Jong are set to start behind Mitrovic in attack.

Team News & Lineups: Manchester United on the other hand might field Memphis Depay in the starting lineup alongside Rooney and Martial in attack while Herrera anad Schneiderlin are set to start in midfield alongside Carrick who will be replacing Bastian Schweinsteiger in starting lineup. This is how I expect both teams to lineup.
