Newcastle have won six of their last eight meetings against Manchester United, including back-to-back league victories in the 2024/25 season where they beat the Red Devils 2-0 in December before following it up with a 4-1 thrashing at St James’ Park the following April. Man United’s home record remains a historical strongpoint in the Manchester United F.C. vs Newcastle United F.C. timeline, with the Red Devils losing just two of their last 40 Premier League fixtures at Old Trafford against the Magpies, winning 29 in the process. The overall head-to-head still firmly favours United, but recent results suggest the balance of power in this fixture is shifting meaningfully.
