Ahead of Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool’s visit to St. James’ Park, teenage defender Hall opens up on his big switch north, less than ten months after making his Premier League debut for Chelsea against his boyhood club on Tyneside.

Among the other contents of the 84-page issue – recognised as one of the league’s best last season – is a bumper historical section, increased in size for 2023/24. Club Historian Paul Joannou provides four pages, as does regular UNITED columnist Stan Gate, who brings all sorts of black and white memorabilia back to light. There’s the second chapter of The European Years – a new regular feature looking back at each and every one of the Magpies’ continental campaigns to date – as well as the latest instalments of The Poster Boys and When Worlds Collide, the latter shining a light on a couple of both clubs’ lesser-remembered players.

There’s plenty to read about United’s Under-21s and women’s teams, including in-depth pieces with Alex Murphy and Jas McQuade and another new feature, Academy Alumni, in which we catch up with a different Magpies academy graduate every issue. This week, it’s Owen Bailey, who’s now plying his trade with Doncaster in League Two.

Sky Sports’ Pete Graves provides his latest column, while Mags Around The World continues with Philadelphia-based United supporter Kayla Ulsh charting her love affair with the club.

Furthermore, there’s ten dedicated pages on our visitors to SJP, four more for Junior Magpies, Eddie Howe and Callum Wilson’s thoughts ahead of the game and much, much more.

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