"Starting with the hosts, signing off October in the midst of a three-match winning run, it appeared that Manchester United had finally started to find their feet under Ruben Amorim's guidance. However, dropping out of the European spots and once again showing some glaring inconsistencies, the former Sporting Lisbon boss once again finds serious scrutiny on his position at Old Trafford."
"In what is set to be a huge blow for Amorim's side, skipper Bruno Fernandes faces a stint on the sidelines after picking up a knock during last weekend's 2-1 loss away at Aston Villa. All set to feature at the 2026 AFCON, Manchester United will be without the trio of Amad Diallo, Noussair Mazraoui and summer recruit Bryan Mbeumo. Not featuring since returning from November's international break, England international Harry Maguire is still dealing with a hamstring injury."
Nick Woltemade is predicted to record more than 0.5 shots on target with best odds 3/4 at Dachbet. Manchester United host Newcastle at Old Trafford on Boxing Day while chasing a return to the European places. United have been inconsistent under Ruben Amorim, securing only two wins from their last eight Premier League matches and failing to keep a clean sheet in ten consecutive outings. Bruno Fernandes is sidelined with a knock, Amad Diallo, Noussair Mazraoui and Bryan Mbeumo are unavailable due to AFCON selection, and Harry Maguire remains hampered by a hamstring issue. Newcastle suffered a major second-half collapse against Chelsea last weekend.
