After Gary Neville tore into last weekend’s “boring” Manchester derby, Sky are delighting us with another United game as their headline offering on Super Sunday. This visit to Tyneside is vital for Carabao Cup winners Newcastle, who are pushing for a Champions League spot.
Even if we’re in store for another low-scoring clash this weekend, we’ve got a 76/1 Ultimate Bet Builder featuring four player prop bets.
Newcastle vs Manchester United Ultimate Bet Builder
Fabian Schar 1+ shot on target
Set pieces remain an issue for Manchester United, especially now that they’re sitting deeper in big games. Newcastle can cause problems from corners, with Fabian Schar a prime contender to get on the end of corners.
The centre-half has had a shot at goal in 12 of his last 16 appearances, including each of his previous three. Schar recorded a shot on target in Monday’s win at Leicester and he’s good value to have an effort on goal against United this weekend.
Leny Yoro to be carded
An injury disrupted summer signing Leny Yoro’s start at Old Trafford, but the defender has been making his mark in recent weeks. Yoro was on the scoresheet in the draw with Lyon on Thursday, but he is also quickly racking up bookings.
Yoro has four cautions in the league despite making only nine starts. The Frenchman doesn’t have a lot of protection from Patrick Dorgu, which means he’s likely to match up with in-form Jacob Murphy. Back him to be booked in this trip to Tyneside.
Manuel Ugarte to make 3+ fouls
Newcastle draw fouls at an incredible rate, especially in the middle of the park. The trio of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton have drawn 163 fouls between them. With United expected to sit deep, those three are expected to see a lot of the ball as they look for openings.
Ugarte has little trouble racking up fouls, making another three against Lyon in midweek. He tends to get into trouble in big games, so back him for three fouls in this clash.
Bruno Fernandes to make 2+ fouls
Given how Newcastle’s midfield operates, Fernandes could also be in trouble here. The Portuguese has made five fouls in three games since the international break and his fiery temperament could be an issue against this Newcastle side.
