Manchester United may have ended a six-match winning run as they failed to defeat Aston Villa on the road, but the Red Devils remain in third place and enter the Newcastle game in very good spirits and looking for another home triumph.
The Magpies are paying the price for a host of injuries to first team regulars, with third-choice keeper Jak Alnwick conceding nine goals in last three fixtures and likely to be under a lot of pressure at Old Trafford.
Manchester United are spoilt for options up front, especially now that Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria are back, but with Wayne Rooney bagging six goals in last seven matches for club and country, Ladbrokes has enhanced the price on Rooney to score the first goal from 4/1 to 5/1.
