Eddie Howe has said Newcastle must “attack” their game against Manchester United on Monday night.. United slipped to 14th in the Premier League table after defeat to Wolves last week and Ruben Amorim will be desperate to secure a positive result against Newcastle. Amorim hasn’t enjoyed a manager bounce since his arrival in Manchester and Newcastle have won their last four games, so the fixture will be a challenge for a struggling United.. Newcastle won 3-0 at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup last season, but they have a poor record in Manchester having won just once in 52 years at Old Trafford in the top flight.. Amorim’s side were majorly disappointing against Wolves at Molineux and lost 3-0 against Bournemouth in the last game at Old Trafford before Christmas, so they need to bounce back.. Speaking ahead of the game, Howe said: “Every time you play is an opportunity and I have always had that belief as a player and a manager. You never know what will happen. It is a blank canvas.. “What can we achieve in this game? It will be down to our attitude first. It is a fixture we should try to attack and keep our rhythm and be the best version of ourselves.. “Well I hope that we are hungry and we are looking forward to this game. I hope we are ready for it. It is a big test for us and a big opportunity, we will try to grab it if we can.. “There is always an opportunity. This year seems unpredictable. Results you see Chelsea lose…there are upsets. It is great for the Premier League. That you never quite know what will happen.. “Unpredictability brings excitement. The challenge for us is to be the team who is consistent, a team who can produce results when not expected. We are going into a run of games now which will really test us and will be one of the deciding factors on where we will finish. We go to some tough away grounds but we look forward to those and try to maintain our good form.”
