Manchester United vs Newcastle – LIVE!

Man Utd today host Newcastle in their final Premier League of 2024. It has been a mixed year for the Red Devils, who have largely laboured despite winning the FA Cup earlier this summer. Indeed, new manager Ruben Amorim is struggling to turn the season around and has lost his last two Premier League games in charge of the club.

While it would be foolish to suggest the United boss is under any kind of pressure as things stand, there is little doubt it’s not quite working out just yet. Now, they meet a Newcastle side bang in form and one who look capable of challenging for Champions League qualification once more.

It will be another major test for the hosts, who have not shown they can compete on a consistent basis thus far. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

Cristiano Ronaldo open to joining Man City in January and risk angering Manchester United

17:56 , Jonathan Gorrie

Cristiano Ronaldo has remarkably opened the door to joining Manchester City in January.

The football great has been tipped to return to Manchester after two years in Saudi Arabia, to help the ailing Premier League champions.

Ronaldo was close to joining City in 2021 before a late push by United sealed a dramatic return to Old Trafford, which ended a little over a year later with his move to the Gulf state.

How many games will Bruno Fernandes miss after third red card of the season?

17:45 , Jonathan Gorrie

Bruno Fernandes is facing another suspension after he was sent off for the third time this season in Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat against Wolves.

The midfielder was dismissed following a second yellow card two minutes into the second half at Molineux.

Already on a booking, Fernandes was shown a red card by referee Tony Harrington for a late tackle Nelson Semedo.

Fernandes has now been sent off twice in the Premier League and once in the Champions League this season.

Manchester United January transfer window guide: Ruben Amorim top priority clear

17:42 , Jonathan Gorrie

The January window will offer Ruben Amorim his first chance to put his own stamp on the Manchester United squad he inherited from Erik Ten Hag.

Ten Hag was backed to the tune of more than £200million last summer after the club’s hierarchy opted to renew his contract in the aftermath of the FA Cup triumph, only to then swing the axe within months.

Ruben Amorim admits he could be sacked by Manchester United if results do not improve

17:40 , Jonathan Gorrie

Ruben Amorim admits he could be sacked by Manchester United if their poor form continues.

United have lost five of their last seven matches in all competitions and Amorim has said is wary that his job may be at risk should results fail to improve.

Away supporters booed their team after the 2-0 Boxing Day defeat at Wolves and Amorim said: “The manager of Manchester United can never, no matter what, be comfortable, and I know the business that I’m in.”

Man Utd vs Newcastle: Premier League score prediction today

17:31 , Jonathan Gorrie

Newcastle won at Old Trafford a little over 12 months ago in the Carabao Cup, but you have to go all the way back to 2013 for their last Premier League win. That record should also tumble on Monday night with Newcastle superior to the Manchester counterparts in almost every department.

Isak can turn any defender, let alone a pair as plodding as Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez, or even Matthijs de Ligt if he gets the nod. The midfield is no match for Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton. The hosts will be playing for a point.

Newcastle to win, 2-0.

Newcastle team news vs Man Utd today

17:31 , Jonathan Gorrie

For Newcastle, Tino Livramento is expected to shake off an illness to start – which will see Kieran Trippier drop to the bench. Jacob Murphy has firmly established himself in the front three, so no place for Harvey Barnes. Sven Botman is “getting closer” after a year out, but likely will not feature in the final game of the year.

Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte are both out due to suspension as Manchester United host Newcastle in their final match of 2024 tonight.

Fernandes is banned after his red card in the 2-0 defeat at Wolves on Boxing Day and Ugarte is out after picking up five yellow cards in the Premier League.

It leaves Ruben Amorim facing a midfield rethink for the visit of in-form Newcastle.

Christian Eriksen or Caserino could come into the team, while Alejandro Garnacho could get recall as one of the two No10s.

Matthijs de Ligt is an option to come back into the defence.

Amorim will also have to decide on his captain with Fernandes missing. Harry Maguire is a likely candidate to skipper to the side.

Amorim said: “You will have to wait until the game and see the captain.”

On Maguire, Amorim adeed: “He works really well, he is focused on the job and not what people say.

“He has no excuses, even if he had some tough moments. I think in that department he is an example. He is there to play, to help the team and he’s trying to do that.”
