Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag recognises the new status of Newcastle United.
The Dutch boss sees Newcastle as a genuine threat to the top six this season and has warned his team to concentrate this afternoon.
Speaking before the huge encounter at Man United, Ten Hag said: "We welcome Newcastle United to Old Trafford and we are determined to produce a strong performance for what will undoubtedly be a tough challenge.
"They are right behind us in the table, they are unbeaten in four games and they have shown many times already this season they have a lot of pace and ability on the counter-attack.
"Certainly it will be a test of our concentration because we know that if we lose the ball in the wrong area we can be punished.
"That is one of the lessons that we should have already taken from recent games."
