Amorim's men now look there for the taking
The Journal
|May 31, 2025
WHEN Manchester United emerged victorious over Newcastle United in the 2023 Carabao Cup final, there was a general consensus both clubs were on roughly the same footing.
After all, the Red Devils would go on to finish that season four points - and one place - clear of Eddie Howe’s side.

Newcastle, who will return to the Champions League next season, will now feel they are firmly on the better track just over two short years since their Wembley disappointment at the hands of the Manchester outfit.
Manchester United’s minority owners, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS, understandably want to clean house.
Remarkably, every single first-team player at Carrington is said to be up for sale in the upcoming window.
