Allan Saint-Maximin takes centre stage for Sunday’s issue of UNITED – the Magpies’ official matchday programme – as Eddie Howe’s side welcome Manchester United to St. James’ Park.

Over the course of an exclusive, in-depth interview, Saint-Maximin chats candidly about his role in the team under Howe, outside perceptions and his aspirations between now and the end of the campaign.

Sky Sports presenter Pete Graves provides his latest column, while United Backstage, the feature in which we shine a light on some of those working behind the scenes at the club, continues with a look at the club’s head of youth recruitment, Paul Midgley.

January recruit Harrison Ashby is the latest to dip his hand into The Toon Tombola, discussing daring escapes, Chris Rea songs and Japanese McDonald’s branches. Goalkeeper Max Thompson provides this week’s Academy Diary, while Newcastle United Women’s Erin Nelson opens up about her life and career to date.

As always, club historian Paul Joannou and regular columnist Stan Gate provide four pages each; Paul looks back at the Magpies’ infamous visit to Derby County’s Baseball Ground in 1991/92, when they had three players sent off, while Stan brings all sorts of black and white insignia back to light in Toon Collectables. Toon Voyage!, meanwhile, a new series looking at some of the most significant geographical locations in the Magpies’ history, continues with a look at Hunters Moor – effectively the club’s first proper training ground.

Furthermore, there’s ten pages on visitors Man United, four more for Junior Magpies, boss Howe and skipper Jamaal Lascelles’ thoughts ahead of the game and lots of extra reading material.

UNITED will be on sale around the ground, priced at £3.50.
