    The Red Devils fear those kinds of accounts could damage team unity and offer an advantage to their opponents.
    A United insider told the Mail: “Preparation for games these days is so thorough that leaked information about team line-ups and injuries can give the opposition an advantage to exploit.
    “United fans should be hounding out these accounts that routinely leak this kind of information, and questioning what is their motivation for doing it.”

    Goal scoring isn’t a problem for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle, after banging in eight at Bramall Lane then another two last weekend.

    He’s fancied to get on the scoresheet with his pace set to trouble that Toon back four immensely.
