The recent run of results represents one of the most dramatic momentum shifts in the fixture’s modern history.
Newcastle won an FA Cup tie at the Stadium of Light in January 2024 when Alexander Isak’s double helped Eddie Howe’s side to a 3-0 win.
Man United’s long-term home dominance remains a historical footnote, having lost just two of their last 40 Premier League games at Old Trafford against the Magpies.
The overall record still strongly favours the Red Devils, but the present era of the Manchester United F.C. vs Newcastle United F.C. timeline is firmly a Tyneside story.
