Eddie Howe says Newcastle can in future match Manchester United as a global force in football as they continue their dramatic rebuild under their wealthy Saudi-backed owners.
The Magpies, sixth in the Premier League table, one point behind United, take on the Old Trafford giants on Sunday, 12 months after Mike Ashley's troubled reign came to an end.
Asked if Newcastle could ever be as big as 20-time English champions United, he replied:"I don't like to put ceilings on individual players and I don't like to put ceilings on clubs either. "The aim of this club with the ambition behind the scenes -- which is huge now -- I have always said we have to now try and deliver those huge ambitions. But there is no ceiling here.""The thing that always blows me away is the young people here, the 12, 13 and 14-year-olds, their passion for Newcastle," he said."It runs through generations and that won't stop."The global support will definitely change through time if the club can be successful.
