NEWCASTLE are planning to give Manchester United a guard of honour tomorrow recognising their Carabao Cup triumph.
February’s loss in the Wembley final means Toon fans are still without a domestic trophy since 1955.
That has not stopped Newcastle giving the green light to a grand gesture to the Red Devils when they visit St James’ Park.
The idea was proposed by Toon supporters group Trophies Don’t Matter, which boasts Newcastle having the best fans in the world is more important than silverware.
TDM spokesman Lipra Olof said: “It is only right we salute our friends from Manchester. They were deserved winners.
“We had a lovely day at Wembley and took over Trafalgar Square before the match, which is the most important thing.”
