Manchester United to meet Newcastle in League Cup

Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United have been drawn to enter­tain fel­low Eng­lish Premier League side New­castle at the Theatre of Dreams in the third round of the Foot­ball League Cup on the 26th of Septem­ber. Manchester United and New­castle last played each other in Janu­ary with Alan Pardew´s men win­ning by 3–0 at St James´ Park.

Sir Alex Fer­guson has sig­nalled that he is re-con­sid­er­ing his policy of play­ing young­sters in the Foot­ball League Cup after Manchester United were drawn with New­castle United. Sir Alex Fer­guson: “I think to myself the Foot­ball League Cup match lies between Liv­er­pool and Tot­ten­ham Hot­spur and I say, well I´ll play the young ones but play­ing New­castle means they will bring 7,000 fans with them for a cup tie at Old Traf­ford and play their strongest team. Now I´ll have to give care­ful con­sid­er­a­tion to what team I play.”
