The ex-England international said in an interview with talkSPORT, that the Old Trafford side has been striving to win the league for over nine years but have had no success.

“I think there is a good argument to say Newcastle will get it right before Man United. United have had nine years to have a run at this and they’re still nowhere near," Sinclair said.

Sinclair concluded: “Whereas Newcastle if they get it right, could quite easily win the title before Man United.”

Newcastle United brought in marquee players such as Kieran Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes during the January transfer window after being recently taken over by the Saudi-owned Public Investment Fund.
