Newcastle can now play without pressure

Given they are now in no danger of being relegated, the Newcastle players can now just go out there and play without pressure.

Manchester United meanwhile are in a battle for a Champions League place and will be far more concerned with getting all three points and making sure they do not lose ground on their rivals.

That could well work in the home side’s favour with this United a far cry from the side of old who would thrive under pressure and a demand for results. This one just folds like a pack of cards. And a badly balanced one at that.
