WEDNESDAY night’s Carabao Cup draw saw a little-spotted change that may explain why Manchester United got yet another home tie.
The Red Devils set a new record by landing a 12th home cup tie in a row after drawing Newcastle in the fourth-round of the EFL competition.
United will face the Magpies at Old Trafford – who they beat in the Carabao Cup final last term.
Despite Eddie Howe’s side’s 1-0 victory against eight-time EFL Cup winners Manchester City at St James’ Park Newcastle fans were ragging.
They were fuming with their fourth-round fixture and a slight change in the draw could be the reason for it.
