Toon in training: Out to sting the Hornets

Rafa Benítez’s side will go in search of a third successive win when the Hornets arrive at St. James’ Park this weekend (3pm kick-off).

And the United squad continued their preparations for the visit of Javi Gracia’s men on Wednesday as they were put through their paces both in the gym and out on the pitch.

Serena Taylor brought nufc.co.uk this gallery from the Magpies’ Benton training base.
