Newcastle's Demba Ba targets points against Man United

Newcastle United striker Demba Ba believes that the Magpies have enough quality to get a result at Old Trafford this weekend despite ending their unbeaten run.

The North East side failed to continue their impressive run with a 3-1 defeat to Premier League leaders Manchester City on Saturday.

"It's a disappointing result but there are positives," said Ba. "We have some very strong characters and I am sure this result will not affect us.

"We're not going to struggle mentally because of one defeat. I definitely think we can get something at United.

"We played well [against City] and still have plenty of confidence after this."
