How to watch Manchester United vs Newcastle United plus radio commentary details

Manchester United take on Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon as the Reds return to Premier League action.

Erik ten Hag saw his side leave it late in the Europa League on Thursday night, as Scott McTominay scored a 93rd minute winner against Omonia Nicosia. The 1-0 win was not what many expected going into the match, as the Cypriot visitors put up a stubborn defence to keep out all but one of United's 34 attempts during the game.

The result sees United remain just three points behind Real Sociedad in Group E, meaning that the Reds' trip to Spain on November 3 will prove to be the decisive factor in their ability to top the group or not.

Newcastle will present a tough test for Ten Hag's side, as the Reds look to win their fourth successive match in all competitions. Sunday's game presents the first of three matches in a week for United, with the Premier League's congested fixture schedule beginning to test the club's squad depth.
