Newcastle vs Manchester United LIVE!

Newcastle are celebrating a second win over Manchester United in a month and first pair of back-to-back league victories over the Red Devils since all the way back in 1972. Anthony Gordon continued his brilliant recent form with the only goal of the game 10 minutes after half-time at a freezing St James' Park on Saturday night.

A narrow but fully deserved triumph for the high-flying Magpies - who beat the same opponents in the Carabao Cup fourth round in November - takes them above both Manchester United and Tottenham into fifth place in the Premier League table, with a trip to relegation-battling Everton to come next on Thursday night. Eddie Howe will be concerned about the status of first-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope, who suffered a shoulder problem late on to add to the ongoing injury crisis on Tyneside.

Woeful Man Utd's strong recent run of domestic form is over however, with Chelsea the high-profile visitors to Old Trafford on Wednesday evening. Follow Man United vs Newcastle reaction live below!

An in the end narrow but fully deserved latest home win for Newcastle, who leapfrog both Manchester United and Tottenham into fifth place ahead of a trip to Everton on Thursday.

Gordon keeps up his excellent form, but there will be a lot of concern about that injury to Pope.

Manchester United got what they deserved in the end - nothing.

They are seventh now and have a high-profile visit from Chelsea to contend with at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Manchester United think they have a late equaliser as Antony's volley deflects past Dubravka off the chest of Maguire.

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United

21:46 , George Flood

85 mins: It's a shoulder injury for Pope, who is in a lot of pain.

Another huge injury blow for Newcastle, who had yet to make a substitution again tonight. Eddie Howe will be praying that's not as serious as it looks.

Newcastle have both Dubravka and fellow goalkeeper Loris Karius on the bench tonight, but it's the former who will eventually come on once he's ready.

Can Manchester United exploit this late disruption?

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United

21:42 , George Flood

82 mins: After Garnacho's cross is blocked, Manchester United finally have their first corner of the night - just eight minutes away from the 90.

Schar makes a great block to keep out Reguilon's well-hit volley.

77 mins: Maguire lunges in late and slices down Gordon, earning a yellow card for his troubles - the first of the night.

He took one for the team there with Schar motoring forward into a good position.

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United

21:36 , George Flood

75 mins: Into the final 15 minutes at St James' Park.

Newcastle are easing to another comfortable home victory as things stand, but while the lead is this narrow they will need to stay alert.

Manchester United have been absolutely woeful. No spark, no creativity, no energy - nothing.

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United

21:34 , George Flood

73 mins: Manchester United look initially dangerous with a rare counter as Antony knocks it inside to fellow substitute Hojlund, who is easily shrugged off the ball by a retreating Lascelles.

Superb commitment to tracking back from Newcastle.

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United

21:32 , George Flood

71 mins: Trippier is rather caught in two minds there about whether to shoot or else try and tee up goalscorer Gordon, eventually drilling the ball well wide.

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United

21:30 , George Flood

69 mins: Fernandes receives treatment and then goes over to the sidelines, still furious that Schar didn't even get a yellow card there.

No cautions at all tonight so far from Robert Jones.

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United

21:28 , George Flood

68 mins: Now Fernandes is on the end of a bad challenge from Schar, who catches him on the top of his foot with studs.

VAR is having a look at this, but no further action is forthcoming.

21:28 , George Flood

67 mins: Petulant stuff from Bruno Fernandes as he fouls Gordon right in front of the referee.

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United

21:24 , George Flood

63 mins: A really poor header from Maguire just about sums up a wretched night for Manchester United so far.

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United

21:22 , George Flood

60 mins: A pair of desperately-needed changes from Ten Hag on the hour mark.

Rashford and Martial are replaced by Antony and Hojlund.

His difficult season continues.

21:20 , George Flood

57 mins: Newcastle have really got the bit between their teeth now as Schar whistles a vicious effort narrowly over the bar.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United | Anthony Gordon 55'

A poor Manchester United clearance is seized upon and Newcastle work it brilliantly, Bruno Guimaraes feeding Trippier, whose perfect low cross to the back post is tapped home by the in-form Gordon.

Wan-Bissaka caught napping there.

St James' Park erupts! Fully deserved.

21:12 , George Flood

51 mins: The black and white shirts are queuing up to have a pop on the edge of the Manchester United box.

Trippier embarrasses Garnacho with a cute little nutmeg in the far corner, but then plays his pass straight to Fernandes as the visitors hope to launch another counter.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

21:11 , George Flood

50 mins: Another important intervention from Shaw as Newcastle up the ante once more.

A fine start to the second half from Eddie Howe's men so far.

Schar then cynically halts a rare Manchester United counter-attack and is lucky to avoid a yellow card.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

21:09 , George Flood

48 mins: That's a key intervention from Shaw to turn behind Bruno Guimaraes' cross towards Isak after Manchester United failed to track the midfield runner yet again.

The first corner is repelled, but now the hosts have another after Wan-Bissaka's block on Gordon, who tries to gee up the home crowd early in this second half.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

21:06 , George Flood

Back underway at St James' Park!

No changes from either manager just yet.

Hojlund stays on the Manchester United bench for now.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

21:04 , George Flood

You wonder if Rasmus Hojlund could be coming on very soon.

Martial has offered Manchester United nothing so far tonight and drew the ire of Erik ten Hag a couple of times in that first half.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:50 , George Flood

Half-time

Goalless at the break - a scoreline which flatters Manchester United.

Newcastle have been much the better side and created the bulk of the chances, Trippier coming closest with that sweet free-kick that bounced down off the crossbar.

Manchester United's best chance coming on the break early, when Garnacho shot tamely at Pope.

Ten Hag will be tempted to get the hairdryer out in the dressing room.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:48 , George Flood

45 mins: More danger from the resulting corner as Trippier's back-post delivery is headed back across goal by Lascelles, with centre-back partner Schar's effort blocked by Maguire.

We're going to have just the one minute of added time at the end of this first half - Newcastle fans not happy with that at all.

They feel there has been a lot of time-wasting from Manchester United already.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:46 , George Flood

43 mins: Livramento gets forward down that Newcastle left flank once again and his cross is deflected into the side netting by Maguire, who then shows his displeasure with his team-mates.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:44 , George Flood

40 mins: That ball was so close to bouncing over the line after it crashed down off the crossbar.

Newcastle still in total control of this game as the interval edges closer.

That reprieve has certainly not sparked pedestrian Manchester United into life.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:41 , George Flood

37 mins: Ten Hag and Martial have had another frank exchange of views as we edge towards half-time at St James' Park.

Maguire's foul on Schar gives Newcastle a free-kick in great shooting position and Trippier's brilliant effort comes down off the woodwork!

So, so close for Newcastle. Onana claims the loose ball.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:38 , George Flood

34 mins: Action at both ends as Wan-Bissaka's cushioned cross following a Fernandes pass is easily gathered by Pope.

Newcastle drive forward once more and Almiron cuts inside Dalot before blazing high and wide off his favoured left foot.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:35 , George Flood

32 mins: Manchester United have just taken the sting out of Newcastle attack and this raucous crowd over the last few minutes, Mainoo flashing his obvious quality again.

But it's a poor defensive header from Wan-Bissaka and Isak ends up bending a shot wide of Onana's far post.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:33 , George Flood

30 mins: So disappointing from Shaw as a foul on Martial gives him a decent chance to deliver a free-kick into the Newcastle box from the left.

It's way too close to the towering Pope, who claims easily unchallenged.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:32 , George Flood

28 mins: Manchester United's repeated failure to track their runners down the flanks and from midfield will be their undoing here, as Miley gets in behind and sees a cross blocked for a corner.

The pressure notches up again as Newcastle keep the attack alive, Trippier slinging in a decent cross that is seen away by Martial of all people.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:29 , George Flood

26 mins: I don't want to jinx him, but it's good to see Maguire playing with this new-found confidence and solidity after all the abuse he has copped.

He's looking much more like the Maguire of old just at the moment.

Still Newcastle press and probe with energy and vigour, the crowd well into this and roaring them on at every turn.

They just need a bit more calmness and composure in the final third. It's all a touch too frantic at present as we tick towards the half-hour mark.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:27 , George Flood

24 mins: A superb run from Almiron as the space opens up ahead of him, but his final ball for Gordon is underhit and Fernandes tidies up.

Ten Hag is not happy with Martial here - he evidently wants him to hold the ball up much better.

His side have been under huge pressure in this first 25 minutes and have no out ball at all at the moment.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:24 , George Flood

21 mins: It's still all Newcastle as the ball is lofted into the box and Isak's inventive overhead kick is steered off target by Lascelles.

Onana is taking an age over this latest goal kick as Maguire ties his laces - the Newcastle fans are irate and referee Jones offers a warning.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:22 , George Flood

20 mins: Here come Newcastle again as Almiron gets in down the right and Isak's shot ends up being crucially deflected wide by Maguire.

The Magpies are absolutely dominating proceedings at the moment.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:21 , George Flood

19 mins: Livramento is a real threat down the Newcastle left - Rashford simply has to track back better.

He works himself into a shooting position before Bruno Guimaraes has a go but fails to test Onana.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:20 , George Flood

18 mins: Onana makes a strong two-handed save down to his right after Almiron turns Joelinton's cut-back goalwards.

Manchester United caught napping there.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:18 , George Flood

15 mins: The ball is quickly going from one end to the other at the moment, but without much quality in either final third.

A great tempo nonetheless.

Onana just about saves a corner after a fine pass from Trippier into Isak, before the offside flag is raised after two bites at the cherry from Almiron.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:16 , George Flood

13 mins: United are getting their foot on the ball in midfield now and settling into the game.

Mainoo and Fernandes getting their touches and Garnacho looking dangerous.

Wan-Bissaka tries his luck, but it's cleared by Joelinton.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:14 , George Flood

11 mins: Newcastle appeal for a penalty after Dalot oddly smacks the ball into his own hand with Onana coming out - a complete lack of communication in the United defence after a surging run from Gordon.

But the visitors break at speed and Mainoo finds Fernandes, who plays a perfect through ball for Garnacho

The Argentine bagged the goal of his life at Goodison last weekend, but this time he shoots tamely at the legs of Pope.

A real chance wasted.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:11 , George Flood

8 mins: Wan-Bissaka now forced into the block as Newcastle continue to press early on.

Bruno Guimaraes tries to curl an effort with his left foot before Schar floats an inviting pass into Isak, whose first touch is heavy and Shaw guards the ball safely back to a grateful Onana.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:09 , George Flood

6 mins: The impressive Livramento breezes past Rashford all too easily and his cut-back from the byline towards Joelinton is turned behind by McTominay.

Newcastle have the first corner of the night in front of the Gallowgate End, Trippier's delivery hacked away by Dalot at the back post after Onana flounders under pressure from Bruno Guimaraes.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

20:07 , George Flood

5 mins: Newcastle are asking all the early questions at St James' Park, passing the ball crisply and moving well as they probe on the edge of the box.

Joelinton heavily involved already, with the likes of Miley, Trippier, Gordon, Isak and Livramento also trying to unlock the door.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

2 mins: Both teams with possession early on, Newcastle closing down Onana fast as he also gets the dodgy 'keeper treatment from the home fans.

He needs a big, error-free performance tonight.

Newcastle vs Manchester United

Referee Robert Jones sounds his whistle and we are underway in this seventh versus sixth clash on a freezing Tyneside!

Both sides in their familiar home strips - black and white stripes against that famous red.

Let's hope for a cracker...

Ten Hag explains Shaw selection decision

19:46 , George Flood

Here's the explanation from Erik ten Hag on why Luke Shaw lines up at centre-back for Manchester United tonight...

19:42 , George Flood

Eddie Howe offers his pre-match thoughts to TNT Sports as Newcastle look to make it back-to-back league wins over Manchester United for the first time since 1972...

Defensive questions for Manchester United

19:31 , George Flood

It will be fascinating to see how an oft-maligned and rejigged Manchester United defence fares this evening - particularly in front of a goalkeeper so clearly low on confidence.

Harry Maguire has been among their top performers of late, while Luke Shaw has played and excelled at centre-back under Ten Hag before.

So it will be Diogo Dalot back at left-back, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the right.

What does Shaw's selection say about Raphael Varane's position?

He still hasn't started a single game in any competition for United since October 24.

And what of Lindelof? Carrying a knock, or just rested? We shall see...

Shaw at centre-back for Manchester United

19:14 , George Flood

The biggest headline from a Manchester United perspective is Luke Shaw surprisingly partnering Harry Maguire at centre-back, with both Victor Lindelof and Raphael Varane on the bench.

Kobbie Mainoo is indeed back in midfield in place of Sofyan Amrabat, while Antony and Rasmus Hojlund - who both returned from injury against Galatasaray - are on the bench as Marcus Rashford returns and Anthony Martial leads the line.

Newcastle unchanged from PSG draw

19:10 , George Flood

Newcastle are unchanged from their controversial late draw with PSG in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Eddie Howe beefs up his bench though with the additions of Matt Ritchie, Emil Krafth, Amadou Diallo and Alex Murphy.

Manchester United lineup

19:02 , George Flood

Starting XI: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Shaw, Dalot, McTominay, Mainoo, Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho, Martial

Subs: Bayindir, Lindelof, Amrabat, Hojlund, Reguilon, Varane, Antony, Pellistri, Van de Beek

Newcastle lineup

19:01 , George Flood

Starting XI: Pope, Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Livramento, Miley, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Almiron, Isak, Gordon

Subs: Dubravka, Dummett, Ritchie, Krafth, Karius, Hall, Diallo, Alex Murphy, Parkinson

Ten Hag: Kobbie Mainoo showed he is ready

18:49 , George Flood

We will get the official lineups in less than 15 minutes now and it will be interesting to see if young Kobbie Mainoo retains his starting berth for Manchester United in the Premier League.

The teenage midfielder excelled on his maiden senior start as lowly Everton were brushed aside at Goodison Park last weekend, while he also impressed in a brief Champions League cameo off the bench in Istanbul.

"He showed on Sunday (at Everton) he was ready," Ten Hag said on Friday. "It looks like he always has time.

"He is scanning, he is running free, he is scanning to see the options and make the right decisions. He can delay, can speed up, he makes the right decisions."

Part of the conversation this week around Onana has been the looming Africa Cup of Nations in January, which would see United needing to turn to either Bayindir or Heaton for at least four Premier League matches anyway.

There have been suggestions that Onana fears for his first-team place at United if he was to go to the tournament in the Ivory Coast with Cameroon, countered by claims that Fifa rules could potentially see him unable to play club football during that period if he rejects a call-up.

Quizzed on if Onana would indeed go to AFCON, Ten Hag told reporters at his pre-Newcastle press conference on Friday: "When they call him, he has to go. But we are in talks."

Ten Hag: Man United have not lost confidence in Onana

18:12 , George Flood

Ten Hag went on to insist that Onana would not benefit from a break, with some United fans calling for back-up Altay Bayindir to be given a starting chance.

"It won't help him. I have trust in Tom (Heaton) and Altay, clear. But Andre, you see after Alisson, he prevented the most expected goals in the whole league," Ten Hag said.

"In the Champions League, he has so much experience with Ajax and last year with Inter Milan. Last year he was with (Manuel) Neuer and (Thibaut) Courtois the best goalkeeper, so he is a great keeper.

"He has the potential, so we have to work on him so that he does it consistently and we will work with him and we will support him. The manager, coaches and players all support him."

Ten Hag also insisted that his other players had not lost confidence in Onana, despite no one appearing to console him on the pitch after his errors against Galatasaray.

"That will not happen," he said. "This dressing room is together. Football is a game of mistakes and everyone can make mistakes. But this team has to cover that so we will operate.

"Nobody is undroppable, that is also clear. We have a strong belief that he will help us win trophies."

Ten Hag defends Onana after latest Man United errors

17:53 , George Flood

There will be much scrutiny on Andre Onana tonight, with the Manchester United goalkeeper having committed two more key errors in Istanbul on Wednesday.

Those latest blunders proved hugely costly, but Erik ten Hag has leapt to the defence of his under-fire stopper - whom he says has been the second best player at his position in the Premier League so far this season.

"If you analyse it well then you see he is the second best goalkeeper in the Premier League based on stats, so his expected defending goals is the second best in the Premier League," Ten Hag said.

"He's doing well. Also he knows that in the Champions League he makes some mistakes but all over you see the first five months he is doing particularly well.

"You have seen how he is reacting on a bad performance like in Munich.

"At Burnley (three days later) he was outstanding. He is a strong character, he is a personality and he will deal with it."

Newcastle vs Manchester United prediction

17:43 , George Flood

The Magpies have one of the best home records in the league, and while the Red Devils are strong on the road domestically they tend not to score often - which will worry them against a very solid defence.

Their best bet is Newcastle are exhausted and impacted by their injuries, something which they've dealt with well in the last couple of games.

Newcastle to win, 1-0.

Manchester United team news

17:41 , George Flood

Manchester United will be boosted tonight by the return of Marcus Rashford.

The England forward missed Wednesday's hectic 3-3 draw with Galatasaray following his controversial sending off in Copenhagen, but is back and free to play domestically.

Rasmus Hojlund and Antony will also be fit after returning from injury in Istanbul, while it remains to be seen if young Kobbie Mainoo will return to the starting lineup here.

Erik ten Hag's own injury list remains lengthy however, with Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Amad Diallo all still out, along with the unavailable Jadon Sancho.

Tyrell Malacia has had a setback that will keep him out until early next year, while this game will come too soon for Mason Mount.

Newcastle team news

Injury-hit Newcastle are without 11 first-team players in total for tonight's big game on Tyneside.

Sean Longstaff remains sidelined with an ankle problem, while fellow midfielder Joe Willock is out due to the recurrence of an Achilles issue.

Harvey Barnes (foot) is also yet to resume training, while Eddie Howe has pleaded for patience with Sven Botman's slow return from a knee injury.

Callum Wilson, Dan Burn, Jacob Murphy, Matt Targett, Elliot Anderson and Javier Manquillo are also still out injured, while Sandro Tonali is banned.

Welcome to Newcastle vs Manchester United LIVE!

17:30 , George Flood

Exactly one month after their latest Carabao Cup showdown, Newcastle and Manchester United renew hostilities at a freezing St James' Park tonight.

Erik ten Hag's visitors will be eager to avenge that dismal 3-0 home loss that ended the defence of their first major trophy since 2017 - achieved with victory over Newcastle at Wembley back in February - with a whimper and piled more pressure on the under-fire Dutchman.

United's domestic form has improved greatly since then, with five wins from their last six matches taking them up to sixth and only four points shy of the top four as things stand.

However, they remain an utterly chaotic proposition in Europe, with Wednesday night's six-goal thriller against Galatasaray leaving their last-16 hopes hanging by a thin thread with only one match to go - against dominant Bayern Munich.

Hoping to exploit that ongoing defensive chaos and repeated goalkeeping blunders from Andre Onana is a Newcastle team that start the night just one point and one place behind their opponents in the table.

Eddie Howe is battling an ongoing injury crisis on Tyneside, but has still seen his side brush aside the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea on home soil over recent weeks.

They were also so tantalisingly close to another famous win over Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, only for a hugely contentious late penalty decision to damage their own chances of Champions League progression.

Kick-off in this rare Saturday night time slot for the Premier League is at 8pm GMT, so stay tuned for live minute-by-minute updates from the game. Before then, we'll have all the latest team news, the thoughts of both managers and much more.
