Manchester United seek to avoid a third consecutive league defeat and halt a worrying trend of losses when they welcome Newcastle United to Old Trafford.
Manchester United will aim to conclude 2024 on a positive note when they host Newcastle United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Monday. United, who have suffered three defeats in their last four encounters with the Magpies, endured a third consecutive loss across all competitions on Boxing Day, falling 2-0 to Wolves at Molineux. Second-half goals from Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan secured a comprehensive victory for the hosts.
This setback in the Black Country marked United's third defeat in just eight days under head coach Ruben Amorim, following previous losses against Tottenham Hotspur (3-4) and Bournemouth (0-3). Having failed to score in their last two Premier League matches, United are determined to avoid a third consecutive league defeat for the first time since December 2015, a streak that also commenced with a loss to Bournemouth (1-2). United, in danger of succumbing to three successive league defeats for the first time in nine years, face the prospect of losing five league games in a calendar month for the first time since September 1962. United have also been beaten by Arsenal (0-2) and Nottingham Forest (2-3) in the league this month, meaning half of their eight league defeats this season have been inflicted upon them since December 1. Newcastle, riding a wave of form, are the last team United would want to face, having won each of their last four matches across all competitions, scoring 14 goals in the process. A victory for Newcastle at Old Trafford would propel them to 32 points and 10 ahead of United, emphasizing the significance of the encounter. Amorim, who has acknowledged the magnitude of the challenge he inherited last month, has lost five of his first 10 games in charge, resulting in the worst record of any new United manager since Walter Crickmer in the early 1930s. The last thing he will want is to add another unwanted, 62-year record to his tenure
