All the latest from Premier League fixture at Old Trafford

Mourinho on United's Valencia draw and Scholes criticism

Manchester United face Newcastle in a big Premier League match for both teams. They both desperately need a result on Saturday evening, as United welcome the Magpies to Old Trafford.

Jose Mourinho has faced a barrage of criticism for his side’s recent performances, with Tuesday’s goalless draw at home to Valencia in the Champions League resulting in a chorus of boos at the Theatre of Dreams.

Newcastle have had a similarly poor start to the season, with Rafa Benitez’s outfit yet to win a match this season and lost 2-0 at home to Leicester City last Saturday.

What time does it start?

Manchester United vs Newcastle United kicks off at 5:30PM (BST) on Saturday 6 October.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on BT Sport 1 from 5pm.

BT Sport subscribers can also watch online via the BT Sport app.

Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC One.

It’s a big game for…

Rafa Benitez: The Newcastle manager, following a summer of limited activity in the transfer market, is yet to win a match this season in all competitions. Currently languishing in the relegation zone, the Magpies need to find some sort of form, and fast. The opportunity to beat an under-pressure old nemesis in Jose Mourinho will serve as extra motivation for Benitez to get a result at Old Trafford.

Weird /best stat…

1: Newcastle United have only beaten Manchester United once in their last 36 matches, losing 26 of those games.

Remember when…

Ruud Van Nistelrooy scored a hat-trick in this fixture 16 years ago, in a topsy-turvy game which included Alan Shearer’s 100^th Premier League goal for Newcastle with a thunderous free-kick. United won 5-3, and finished the 2002/03 season as champions; Newcastle finished third. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfzF1Wfe0FQ

Player to watch…

Marcus Rashford: In a Man United side currently looking devoid of inspiration in the final third, Rashford always provides a threat with his pace and trickery. Although likely to be up against the rapid DeAndre Yedlin on the left-hand side, the 20-year-old scored last week against West Ham, and will fancy his chances against the Magpies given their weak defensive display last week against Leicester.

12 mins: Man Utd 0 - 2 Newcastle

This Man Utd defence is truly quite poor. For a team with such history and success, the defensive players this season have really let them down. Every team seems likely to score against them. Man Utd are playing at Old Trafford and are 2 goals down against Newcastle, who are scored bottom in the table.
