The Toon reserves will kick off their new league campaign on September 1 when they face Sunderland at St James's Park.
I'm sure second string coach Adam Sadler cannot wait.
As always, United will decide the venues for home games depending on proposed attendances, with games against Sunderland, Man Utd and Liverpool expected to be at St James' Park.
And those three games will be:
Mon Sept 1: Sunderland (h)
Mon Nov 24: Liverpool (h)
Mon Dec 8: Manchester Utd (h)
