Magpies match rearranged

14 March 2011 13:00
Manchester United's Barclays Premier League trip to Newcastle will have to be rearranged because of the leaders' FA Cup progress. United were due on Tyneside on Saturday, April 16 for a 12.45pm kick-off, but will instead face arch-rivals Manchester City in an FA Cup semi-final that weekend following their 2-0 sixth-round victory over Arsenal. The two clubs and the Premier League are to hold discussions over a new date, which is expected to be announced shortly. Newcastle launched their first season back in the top flight with a visit to Old Trafford on August 16 when goals from Dimitar Berbatov, Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs eased the home side to a 3-0 victory.
