“I’d be shocked if they don’t win” – Paul Merson makes bold Manchester United prediction ahead of Newcastle clash

Paul Merson’s Prediction for Crucial Manchester United vs. Newcastle United Clash

Paul Merson has weighed in on the highly anticipated match between Manchester United and Newcastle United at St. James’ Park, sharing his prediction for the outcome.

With both teams riding on the momentum of recent league victories, the clash promises to be a crucial test for their Premier League campaigns.

Despite Manchester United’s impressive form in the league, Merson acknowledges the challenge they face against a confident Newcastle side, especially after the Magpies’ commanding 4-1 victory over Chelsea last weekend.

Both teams, however, are grappling with contrasting fortunes in Europe, sitting at the bottom and tied bottom of their Champions League groups after midweek draws.

As attention shifts to the Premier League, Merson points out that only one point separates the two teams. The Sky Sports pundit expresses his belief that Eddie Howe’s side has the potential to leapfrog Manchester United in the table.

In an interview with SportsKeeda, Merson states, “I don’t see Manchester United toughing it out against Newcastle United.

Manchester United are more ruthless than Chelsea, but the Magpies were excellent last weekend, and I’d be shocked if they don’t win this week.”
