Man United vs Newcastle Preview
- Date – Monday, May 15, 2024
- Kick-off Time – 08:00 pm GMT
- Venue – Old Trafford
In a pivotal showdown that could determine their European fate, Manchester United squares off against Newcastle United. With United languishing in eighth place after a disappointing loss to Arsenal, they’re now scrambling to secure a European berth. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe’s rejuvenated Newcastle side has surged into sixth place, eyeing another season in European competition.
United’s recent form has been shaky, with just one win in five matches. Injuries have plagued their defense, forcing makeshift solutions like Casemiro in central defense. The absence of key players like Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford has further hampered their attacking prowess.
Newcastle, on the other hand, has found their scoring touch, netting 10 goals in their last three outings. While their recent victories came against lesser opponents, they’ll be eager to exploit United’s leaky defense, which has conceded six goals in their last three matches.
Adding to the intrigue, Newcastle has dominated this fixture recently, winning their last three encounters across the Premier League and League Cup. United will be keen to reverse this trend, having suffered a 3-0 defeat earlier this season in the cup.
Newcastle United are poised to make a final push for European qualification. A victory against Manchester United could secure a coveted top-six finish for the Magpies, leaving their opponents trailing behind in eighth place.
With Chelsea facing Brighton on Wednesday night, Newcastle sees this as a prime opportunity to solidify their position after a resilient run of form, having suffered just one defeat in their last seven outings.
Despite a challenging season for Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils, who have struggled with only one win in eight Premier League games, the pressure is mounting.
With their manager’s job on the line, Manchester United must overcome their recent woes and navigate past a familiar foe in Eddie Howe’s Newcastle to salvage their season.
With both teams desperate for three points, expect a high-stakes showdown as they battle for European qualification.

For Manchester United, the absence of key players like Mason Mount, Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, and Bruno Fernandes looms large. Mount’s minor injury could sideline him once more, while Rashford, McTominay, and Fernandes remain doubtful after missing the last game.
Newcastle, on the other hand, has grappled with a plethora of season-ending injuries. However, they could receive a timely boost with striker Callum Wilson poised for a return from a minor injury.
Additionally, the potential comeback of Fabian Schar adds further intrigue, although he remains further behind in his recovery.
