    That was Forest's downfall really, not paying extra attention to Rashford considering the form he's in, resulting in an early Rashford goal and Forest being on the backfoot immediately allowing Casimero to dominate midfield.

    Howe much more savvy.

    Man united are quite simply just a good team now and currently better than Newcastle. Newcastle have a good defence but man united are far more lethal in attack.

    Newcastle could beat them on their day but if man united play well they'll win imo.

    Newcastle need to get there of course.

    They're vulnerable and there's a reason we're above them. When we played them they definitely weren't all that, but they've got better since then.

    They have a very good attack, but in converse we have an awesome defence. This one will be all about winning the midfield battle, which we have a good chance of.

    The reason we're ahead is because they were crap for a while but ten Hag had now got them starting to play and are only improving every week from what I'm seeing .

    In contrast Newcastle are becoming worse but grinding out results.

    I'd say as things are man united win but perhaps Newcastle can get something going up front over the next month and it'll seem more Likely they can upset the applecart in the final.

    Man united will be fairly strong favourites, but Newcastle have got a chance unlike the last two Wembley finals.

    The "crap" was just the first 2 games tbf, and everyone thought it was the same as last year, but in the 3rd game they surprised everyone by beating Liverpool, and it's been positive ever since then bar the odd defeat (ie the 6-3 Vs City).

    We've looked a bit knackered recently, but the weeks rest between the next few games should help with that. Plus we've been integrating Isak into the team slowly, but now we should be ready to start him and see his best.

    Yeah they're favourites, but tbh I'd rather have us in the underdog position anyway. Forest clearly hadn't done their research on United and played into their hands, Howe ain't gonna do that.

    A bit from column A, a bit from column B.

    But we're the best defence he'll come up against. Plus he benefits massively from Casimero and Eriksson, so if Bruno and Joey snuff them out, Rashford has problems and so do Man U.
