Beating Newcastle is vital
Reds legend Paddy Crerand believes it is essential United do not
slip up against Newcastle on Sunday.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side return to Premiership duties following the
hard-fought 1-0 win over Benfica on Tuesday, but the Reds have
taken just one point from the last two league games, following
defeat to Arsenal with a 1-1 draw against Reading.
United have never lost to the Magpies at Old Trafford in the
Premiership, and Crerand says now would be a particularly poor time
to buck that trend.
What we mustnt do is find ourselves playing catch up with
Chelsea, a win against Newcastle is imperative, he told United
Review.
We have to bounce back after the disappointing results against
Reading and Arsenal. Fair play to Arsenal, they were magnificent
you have to hold your hands up and say that.
But, people mustnt get too downhearted by the last two league
games. Were still way ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal and people
were predicting them to challenge Chelsea. Theres a long way to
go.
