How to watch Manchester United vs Newcastle: TV channel, livestreams, latest team news

Manchester United are preparing to face Newcastle United in their final game of 2024, as Ruben Amorim looks to lift his side out from some disappointing form.

A run of three consecutive defeats to Bournemouth, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves has drawn heavy criticism, with lacklustre performances leaving fans and pundits frustrated.

Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system is still a work in progress, and while there have been positives to take from his tenure so far, many players have been exposed.

With the busy festive schedule underway, a home victory against Newcastle could provide a crucial morale boost ahead of the New Year.

However, Eddie Howe’s side enter the clash full of confidence. A dominant 3-0 midweek win over Aston Villa means that they have won four of their last five games.

Kick-off time & venue

After a busy weekend of football, the Reds will be playing on Monday, 30 December at 20:00 GMT.

The game will be played at Old Trafford, the last two home matches for Amorim’s side have been defeats to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth.
