Keegan says Newcastle must aim to "surprise" Sir Alex Ferguson this weekend, as he aims to grab the first win since his emotional return to Tyneside.

Keegan: "I don't know what my record is like against Sir Alex, but I don't think it's as bad as some managers.

"I'm sure it's not the worst. They've got the form and we haven't, so we'll see if we can surprise a few people. We've had a little bit of a break and we have worked the players a little bit harder.

"We gave them a couple of days off, but they are back now and fresh.

"And we know what is ahead of us on Saturday.

"I have been pleased and we are building up to what is a very big game for us.

"Two weeks without a game has been a long time, and the last game against Aston Villa wasn't a good performance.

"Man United will have had two games by the time they play us, so we have little things going for us."
