Ahead of their Carabao Cup match against Manchester United, all of the most recent news about Newcastle United, including updates on Sven Botman, Alexander Isak, Eddie Howe, and more players.
These are the most recent headlines about Newcastle United for October 31.
Botman strike

Before the Carabao Cup final of the previous season, Ten Hag called Newcastle a team that ‘tries to bother you’ and told Manchester United to ‘get speed in the game’. A few weeks later, before the two sides faced one other in the Premier League, Ten Hag reiterated his remarks. The Dutchman said that ‘we know they delay’ and that Newcastle’s game management strategies were a ‘worry’.
Although Howe rarely brings up comments made in the locker room by a rival manager, the Newcastle manager
Rebuild retail
In an effort to “delight” fans, Newcastle United is offering eight-figure budgets for the development of a retail and licensing team.
