4. Misfiring Rooney
Wayne Rooney loves scoring against Newcastle. He has bagged 11 goals in 20 starts against the Magpies, making them his second favourite Premier League opponent to face after Aston Villa.
But United’s captain looks a million miles away from that form at the moment. He has not found the net in his three appearances this campaign and is yet to have a shot on target in the league.
Perhaps the pressure of being both skipper and the only recognised forward at Old Trafford is getting to the 29-year-old. He may not be the same nuisance to Newcastle that he usually is.
