Newcastle vs Manchester United preview, stats + Q&A with NUFC blogger
Everything you need to know before Manchester United travel to Newcastle this weekend.
Newcastle fans will be trying to make clash a tale about two big Premier League clubs going head-to-head for a place in the top four. Shamefully forgetting that they are not a big club.
After all, they haven’t won a proper trophy since 1955, and you won’t see many fans who witnessed that at St. James’ Park on Sunday. I’m sure there will be many who experienced losing the Carabao Cup final to United in February.
What a day that was…
Hopefully we get a similar result on Sunday to shut Newcastle fans up for another while. They got lucky at Old Trafford earlier this season when the game ended a scoreless draw.
Pre-match stats
Newcastle have not won in six Premier League games against Manchester United. Two of those matches ended as draws.
In the Premier League (since 1992), Manchester United have won more away games against Newcastle than any other side (14).
The Reds are undefeated in their last 7 matches against Newcastle in all competitions.
Prior to the international break, Newcastle won two consecutive Premier League games for the first time in 2023.
Manchester United are winless in their last two league matches.
Only Brentford (12) have drawn more games than Newcastle (11) in the league this season, which could be the reason the Magpies miss out on a Champions League spot.
