Dyer admits it will not be the Premiership and believes a more realistic aim for the Magpies will be to triumph in one of the cups.

The England star - a possible absentee from Saturday's match at Wolves due to a virus - thinks that the title may be a step too far for Bobby's Babes this time around.

But Dyer insists the time has arrived for United to win a long-awaited trophy.

"I still think the league is out of our reach but I honestly believe we can win the FA Cup or the League Cup and hopefully have great run in the Champions League," he said.

"I think you can only be judged on what you win and we need to win something.

"And with the squad we are assembling here now I think we have got a very good chance."
