Eddie Howe has warned Newcastle want to be as big as Manchester United on and off the pitch.
And the Geordie chief has responded to Man United boss Erik Ten Hag branding Newcastle ’s style as “annoying” before the Carabao Cup final.
Howe hit back on Friday saying: "The game management stuff has been overblown massively towards us in the media. That's just my opinion.
“I can't speak for how they are preparing their teams and what they are saying in the media. The main part of the game is we have to play well. We have to be really good in possession and really good out of possession.”
