5 Man Utd Players Newcastle Must Be Wary Of

5. Wayne Rooney

Let's get the main threat out of the way. Even though he has gone a total of nine league games without a goal, he is the main threat from Newcastle's perspective. Of course he's going to score on Saturday... Rooney has had a very underwhelming start to the new Barclays Premier League season. He's looked sluggish and never likely to score, showing that the end of season games for England may have been a step too far for him last term. However, the Red Devils' captain loves scoring against Newcastle. From his point of view, there are few other sides he would rather be facing this weekend. Aside from Aston Villa (15 goals) and Arsenal (13 goals), Rooney has scored his greatest number of Premier League goals against the Magpies - 12 in all. Although rather staggeringly - before his brace in the Red Devils' 3-1 victory over the black and whites last Boxing Day, Rooney had failed to find the back of the net against the Magpies since before NUFC were relegated at the end of the 2008-09 campaign. Newcastle may need to hire a hit man to stop him...
