Soccer bookies in 2025 have assigned Man United odds of 2.75 (7/4) to win this game. The Magpies have odds of 2.44 (10/7) to secure victory. Man United vs Newcastle odds for a draw are currently available at 3.60 (13/5).
Newcastle is slightly dominant in this fixture, having won three of the last five games. United has won two of those fixtures.
Manchester United finds itself in unfamiliar territory, battling in the bottom half of the table for the first time since 1989. A 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth and a 2:0 away loss to Wolves have placed the Red Devils in 14th position. As it stands, they have only secured two wins in their last five matches.
Despite these struggles, United’s surprise victory over Manchester City showcased their potential, though inconsistency remains a persistent issue. With daunting clashes against Liverpool and Arsenal awaiting them in early 2025, they must capitalize on their final fixture of the year by getting a positive result against the Magpies. Our earlier Premier League 24-25 tips place them among the favorites to win the title, but their recent form speaks otherwise.
Marcus Rashford’s future at United remains unclear, with the attacker out of favor at Old Trafford. Injuries persist for the Red Devils, sidelining Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw, but Matthijs de Ligt should return for this game. Bruno Fernandes will miss this game due to suspension.
Newcastle are riding high after four consecutive wins across all competitions, including three in the league. A 3-1 victory over Brentford in the EFL secured their place in the tournament’s semi-finals. In the league, their three recent wins have propelled them to 5th place, keeping their hopes of another top-four finish alive.
Alexander Isak has been instrumental for the Magpies, netting a hat-trick against Ipswich and adding another goal on Boxing Day. He now boasts 11 league goals and four assists, proving crucial to Eddie Howe’s plans.
Joelinton is back from suspension but is still troubled by a facial injury. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s injury woes continue, with Nick Pope, Callum Wilson, and Sven Botman remain sidelined.

The Magpies are riding a four-game winning streak while United struggles, winning just two of six EPL games under Amorim. The Magpies’ dominance in recent head-to-head matches, winning three of their last five against United, makes them favorites. Combined with United’s poor form, this momentum suggests Newcastle’s attack could prove too decisive on Monday. You can bet on MU online using all the tips and insights this guide provides.

Newcastle has not just been getting points recently; they are doing it with an emphatic scoreline. They’ve scored 14 goals in their last four consecutive victories, averaging 3.5 goals per game. It is also noteworthy that Manchester United conceded at least two goals in their previous nine successive matches across competitions. Interestingly, Newcastle has scored five goals in their last two visits to Old Trafford. So, we expect Newcastle to total over 2.5 goals in this match.

Newcastle’s resurgence can be attributed in large part to Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker has been a revelation, finding the back of the net 11 times in 16 Premier League matches. His recent form, highlighted by a hat trick and a goal against Aston Villa, makes him a serious threat to any defense. We expect him to continue his goal-scoring exploits against a fragile Manchester United defense.
