Packed Programme For Reds' Visit

By Dan Sheridan - Newcastle United Managing Editor

Manchester United are the visitors to Tyneside this weekend, and ahead of the big match on Sunday afternoon, your official matchday programme is once more packed with exclusives.

In our main interview slot we talk at length to Steve Harper - the veteran goalkeeper who is back between the posts for United in his 15th season with the senior squad.

And in our popular iToons feature, midfielder Jonás Gutiérrez is the latest player to speak candidly about life on-and-off the pitch, as he covers everything from Messi and Maradona to music and his mum!

French star Yohan Cabaye looks back at his time growing up in the city of Lille in Hometown Heroes, and reveals the surprise identity of his boyhood idol, who has links to our visitors from Manchester.

Our latest Young Gun interview features Shane Ferguson - the Northern Ireland international who has leapt off the bench to great effect over the last fortnight and is hoping for more first-team action.

With England's revamped top flight now in its 20th year, Premier League Years focuses on every Newcastle season since it began, with this week's feature looking at the dramatic 1996/97 campaign.

Elsewhere, the Daily Telegraph's Henry Winter is the latest journalist to give us his views From the Press Box, as he explains why he's taking a dip in the River Tyne ahead of Sunday's clash.

And our award-winning opposition section brings you the low-down on our visitors from the North-West, including profiles of their main players and a round-up of their season so far.

The programme is on sale in our Official Club Store at the stadium, and will be available around the ground on matchday as usual. Single programmes and subscriptions are also available online by clicking here.
