MANCHESTER UNITED face Newcastle in a mouth-watering Premier League clash TODAY.
And there could be a top-four berth for either side if Chelsea drop poitns.
United picked up a crucial 2-1 win at Everton last time out, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his 700th club goal.
While Newcastle head into the game following back-to-back Prem wins over Fulham and then Brentford.
And United boss Erik ten Hag has thrown his support behind Ronaldo, who is "in better shape now" after getting back on the scoresheet at Everton.
The forward's future was in doubt throughout the summer as Ronaldo pushed for a move away.
Ten Hag said: "I want to support him as good as possible. We have certain demands from players, what we expect in certain positions.
"I want to get the best out of him, he's in better shape now and I'm happy with that."
