Jason Tindall addresses media, previews crucial Newcastle vs. Man Utd match

Newcastle United will face Manchester United at St. James' Park on Sunday with assistant manager Jason Tindall stepping in for head coach Eddie Howe, who is hospitalized due to illness. Despite Howe's absence, Newcastle is riding a four-match winning streak and is currently in a Champions League qualification spot, sitting fifth in the league. Tindall has emphasized the importance of the match, noting that a win could solidify their position in the top spots as they aim for Champions League qualification. The team is dealing with several injury concerns, including Anthony Gordon and Joe Willock, but Alexander Isak is anticipated to start. Tindall's leadership style contrasts with his calm demeanor off the pitch, as he is known for his intense presence during matches. Newcastle has historically performed well against Manchester United, winning four of their last five encounters, and are seeking to complete their first league double over United since 1931.
