Manchester United
Ruben Amorim, brought in by Manchester United’s new management from Sporting CP, has faced significant challenges at Old Trafford. The blame has shifted from the manager’s inefficiency to the players’ inability to step up and play for the club badge.
Manchester take on Newcastle at home in their final fixture this year. They’ll want to pick up all three points after dropping them without really thinking twice against Bournemouth and Wolves recently. The defeat will hurt the Red Devils a lot, given that they were unable to keep a clean sheet against a side that just got promoted into the EPL and are still ranked 17th.

Manchester are in real danger of slipping into the relegation zone if this form of theirs continues and no saviour steps up. The discarding of attacker Marcus Rashford by coach Amorim has led to many questioning his sanity as the Red Devils continue to go through rough patches. They are currently ranked 14th with 22 points.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United have gradually become one of the teams to fear in the Premier League. They’ll use this newfound respect to drill some challenges into the hearts of the home team on Monday. Under manager Eddie Howe, the Magpies have become a team that take on their opposition.
Striker Alexander Isak’s form will be a big factor in this game. Newcastle’s defenders Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Lisandro Martínez will try their best to prevent him from scoring against them. It will not be an easy task, but one that they’ll have to perform to perfection.

The Magpies are ranked fifth in the league table at the moment with 29 points to their name, and this is a factor that their opponents will consider. They like to play on the counter while waiting patiently for an opportunity and not lose their shape. It will be easy for them to dismantle Manchester United’s defence in this match.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United Prediction
- Pick: Newcastle United to win or draw
- Odds: -208 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Manchester United 2-2 Newcastle United
We expect Newcastle to either win or draw this game since they are the favourites. Manchester’s lowly position in the league table does not beget any confidence in the hearts of their supporters. Under new head coach Ruben Amorim, Manchester United have lost five of their last ten matches.

The Magpies will take great heart from the fact that they’ve beaten Manchester at Old Trafford as recently as November 2023 in the EFL Cup. They’ve also enjoyed three victories over their opponents in their last five head-to-head encounters.
All factors point towards a Newcastle United victory or draw, at the very least.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -192 (20Bet)
We expect both teams to score in this game given the kind of attacking players we have in our midst. While Newcastle will be served well by their talismanic striker Isak, Manchester will have Rasmus Højlund, Amad Diallo, and Antony in their ranks.
While Marcus Rashford has been left out of the team on previous occasions by Amorim, Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte have been suspended. In short, both teams have a lot of attacking players, and we expect them to get on the scoresheet.
