## Newcastle and Manchester United: A Rivalry Rekindled
Dan Burn’s Fire and Fury
Dan Burn’s passion for the Newcastle United vs. Manchester United rivalry burns bright. The Magpies defender grew up on the animosity between the two clubs and is eager to taste victory in front of the hostile Stretford End crowd in pursuit of a Europa League spot.
Historic Battlegrounds
The rivalry between Newcastle and Manchester United has a storied past. Magpies legend Alan Shearer famously rejected the Red Devils in 1996, adding fuel to the fire. Burn recalls the intensity of the rivalry from his childhood, stating, “As a kid, I always disliked Man United. I would love nothing better to go there and get the result we need.”
Europe’s Gateway at Old Trafford
Newcastle currently stands sixth in the Premier League table, one win away from securing a place in Europe. A victory at Old Trafford would guarantee their qualification and potentially hand Manchester United their lowest ever league finish.
Burn’s Unwavering Focus
Despite the significance of the game, Burn emphasizes Newcastle’s own aspirations over those of their rivals. “It’s still in our hands,” he said. “We’re just proud that we have managed to get ourselves in this position.”
Newcastle’s Impressive Record
Newcastle has already defeated Manchester United twice this season, including a 3-0 win at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup. Burn believes the Magpies have nothing to fear, saying, “We don’t have anything to fear. We have been there and managed to beat them this season in the Carabao Cup already. There’s everything to play for now.”
Howe’s Optimism
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe shares Burn’s optimism. “The Manchester United game is set up perfectly, isn’t it?” Howe said. “We’ll give everything we can to try to get a positive result.”
Conclusion
The stage is set for a thrilling clash at Old Trafford as Newcastle United and Manchester United renew their rivalry. With a Europa League spot on the line, the stakes are high. Newcastle will look to capitalize on their recent victories over their rivals and make history in front of a packed and hostile Stretford End crowd.
