Newcastle visit Norwich's Carrow Road for Craig Fleming's testimonial match and the Canaries' club captain is concerned United's InterToto campaign will hit his big night hard.
Fleming was hoping that Glenn Roeder would field his strongest team, but that is most unlikely with United involved in the InterToto Cup.
The Norwich skipper is even grasping at straws hoping the Toon sign David Beckham and throw him in for his debut!
Fleming “It would be fantastic if they could get him. I've been hoping they were going to sign somebody big before the game. Newcastle have been linked with some big names and they don't come any bigger than David Beckham.”
Only 5,000 tickets have been sold so far, and the prospect of a Newcastle United Reserve side has frightened off potential buyers with Norwich charging £15 for adults.
