Man United vs Newcastle live: Premier League updates and stats

Manchester United will hope to bring some festive cheer to their supporters and place fifth when Newcastle visit Old Trafford on Friday.

The hosts and boss Ruben Amorim have endured another difficult 12 months but, with a game against rock bottom Wolves coming up at Old Trafford on December 30, they have the chance to end 2025 on a high.

Newcastle are 11th after a disappointing first half of the season.

Only three teams have taken fewer points in the 2025/26 top flight and manager Eddie Howe will be hoping for a strong performance against opponents missing injured captain Bruno Fernandes.
