Newcastle United bring the curtain down on an eventful 2024 with what is a huge chance of a rare win at Old Trafford. The Magpies have only won once in the league in the red half of Manchester for 50 years - but enjoyed a 3-0 success at the famous stadium in last season's Carabao Cup run.

Ruben Amorim is already under pressure after Man United failed to pick up form and results followjng Erik ten Hag's departure, and will be without the suspended Bruno Fernandes tonight. Eddie Howe, by contrast, has seen his Newcastle side hit top form, with four consecutive wins on the bounce with an total scoreline of 14-1.

Alexander Isak has continued to score goals and will lead the line tonight, with Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes all in excellent form. Here's all you need to know ahead of tonight's game.

Early Newcastle United team news

Eddie Howe has no new injury issues following the 3-0 Boxing Day win over Aston Villa, but must decide whether to bring Tino Livramento back into the side after the young full-back missed out through illness. Kieran Trippier came off early against Villa, and it could be a like-for-like swap.

Joe Willock and Sean Longstaff will again push their case for a place should Howe decide to rotate the midfield, while Harvey Barnes will likely have to patient with Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy in good form.

Who is the Man United vs Newcastle referee?

Simon Hooper is the man in the middle tonight, the third time is he taken charge of the Magpies this season, following Premier League away defeats to Chelsea and Brentford.
