Eddie Howe doesn't want to face
Manchester United in the Carabao Cup but insists his Newcastle side can come away from Old Trafford victorious. Newcastle booked their place in the fourth round with a hard-fought 1-0 win at home to
Manchester City on Wednesday evening, Alexander Isak scoring the only goal of the game. After beating the favourites, Howe's side will fancy themselves to get all the way to Wembley, as they did last season. But if they are to reach a second consecutive final then they will have to beat last season's champions, having been handed a tough away day at United in the next round. It's as tough as it gets for the Magpies in two rounds but Howe insists his side will be confident they can record another big cup win.

"It’s the only way that we can view it [to win]. "We’ll get to that game when we get to it, we don’t know where we’ll be in terms of our team, players and the selection of players we’ll have available. The way we’re going and the competitions we’re in, we’re playing elite teams all the time and we have to get used to it. "It’s the only way we improve ourselves. It’s not maybe the draw we wanted but we respect Manchester United and how they do things but we’ll have to face it.” United progressed with a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Crystal Palace on Tuesday. A much-changed side enjoyed one of their best performances of the season, with goals from Alejandro Garnacho , Casemiro and Anthony Martial . Their fourth round clash at home to Newcastle will be played on either October 31 or November 1. Order your copy of Manchester United in Europe TODAY Manchester United are back in the
