Last Meeting: Manchester United 1-0 Newcastle (December 26, 2025)
The Boxing Day encounter at Old Trafford saw Manchester United end Newcastle's impressive run against them with a hard-fought 1-0 victory. Patrick Dorgu scored his first goal for the club with a spectacular volley in the 24th minute, meeting a looping ball at the edge of the box and striking it sweetly into the bottom corner. Playing without Bruno Fernandes due to injury, United showed tactical flexibility as Ruben Amorim switched to a back four for the first time. Newcastle dominated possession in the second half but couldn't find a way past the United defence. The victory extended United's record of Premier League Boxing Day wins to 23 and was their first home clean sheet in two months.
Newcastle United 2025/26 Season
Eddie Howe's Newcastle continue to compete on multiple fronts this season, participating in the UEFA Champions League while fighting for a top-four finish domestically. Key players including Bruno Guimarães, Alexander Isak, and Anthony Gordon provide the quality needed for European competition. The squad has faced injury challenges throughout the campaign, but the Magpies remain ambitious. Their home form at St James' Park has been typically strong, though away results have been more mixed with just one Premier League victory on the road.
Manchester United 2025/26 Season
Michael Carrick has steadied the ship at Manchester United following Ruben Amorim's departure. The squad features exciting talent including Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Patrick Dorgu, who has impressed since his arrival from Lecce.
