Manchester United is set to clash with Newcastle United in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, and the match will be held at Old Trafford.

Throughout the match, Erik ten Hag’s team exhibited control, taking a 2-0 lead into halftime. Martial’s well-executed finish ten minutes into the second half sealed the outcome of the tie.
As a reward for their victory over Crystal Palace, Manchester United will now face Newcastle in the fourth round of the competition. Eddie Howe’s side earned their spot in the last-16 with a victory over Manchester City on Wednesday night.
The match between Manchester United and Newcastle is scheduled for the week commencing October 30, with November 1 (Wednesday) being the likely date since Manchester United is set to face Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday, October 29, at 3:30 pm. Exact details will be confirmed in the near future.
Television and radio broadcasting arrangements are yet to be determined. Manchester United’s previous match against Palace was broadcasted by Sky Sports as Garnacho, Casemiro, and Martial secured the victory on Tuesday night.
Manchester United has a storied history in the Carabao Cup, having won the competition six times. Last season, they emerged victorious with goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford in the final against Newcastle, held beneath the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium. Prior to that, the club clinched the trophy as part of a cup double under the management of Jose Mourinho in 2017.
