Manchester United vs Newcastle - LIVE!
Man Utd will be looking to avoid an unwanted record at Old Trafford tonight in their final Premier League home game of the season against Newcastle. Losing would condemn the Red Devils to a record tenth home defeat in a Premier League season, further increasing the pressure on under-fire manager Erik ten Hag.
They are on course for their lowest ever finishing position of eighth place, as well as their lowest points total. However, with three points they would be least likely to qualify for the Europa League in the final games of the season.
Newcastle has a poor record at the Theater of Dreams, but won the Carabao Cup here earlier this season. Yet Eddie Howe's side have doubts over strikers Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak heading into a must-win game to fuel their own European hopes.
