Newcastle vs Manchester United LIVE: Both teams push for the winner! (1-1) 2025-26 Premier League Matchday 29

Cunha passed the ball to Fernandes, who shot a one-timer in search of Ramsdale's left top corner. The football missed wide, but Fernandes continues to be the biggest threat on the Red Devils.

Zirkzee comes into the game, as Mbeumo is replaced.

Yet another perfect pass from Fernandes grants Diallo (who replaced Mainoo) an unsurpassable chance in front of Newcastle's goal. However, it was Ramsdale who made an amazing stop to deny Man United. The Portuguese midfielder has been the best player on the pitch by a landslide and Newcastle are struggling to find answers when he gets possession of the football.

A pinpoint cross from a corner kick finds Gordon all by himself in the back post. The English striker couldn't connect with the ball, otherwise Newcastle may have re-taken the lead.

Carrick sends Dalot and Ugarte into the game. Shaw and Casemiro leave the pitch.

The last 45 minutes of the game are now being played! Barnes has been replaced by Willock to start the second half, as Newcastle adjust to Ramsey being sent off.

Peter Bankes had signaled for just three minutes of added time. However, following a series of late incidents, he allowed play to extend nearly eight minutes beyond the 45-minute mark. As the visiting side tied the game in the last play of the first half, the home fans at St. James Park booed the referee as he headed to the tunnel.

An exquisite cross from Fernandes finds Casemiro, who deflects the ball with a brilliant header. The game is now tied 1-1 as the first half comes to an end.

Gordon—who received the foul— makes no mistake and scores the first goal of the game. Newcastle are up 1-0.

Despite having only 10 players on the pitch, Newcastle went on the attack. Bruno Fernandes tripped up Anthony Gordon inside the box and Newcastle could now open the scoring.

After diving in the penalty box, Peter Bankes showed Ramsey his second yellow card. Newcastle will be short a player for the rest of the game.

After a powerful strike from Cunha was saved by Ramsdale, Mbeumo caught the rebound but sent the ball just over the crossbar. Game is still tied at 0-0, but both clubs have come really close to scoring.

A brilliant long-distance shot from Mainoo caught everybody by surprise. Well, everybody but Ramsdale, who kept the football out of his net with a one-handed save.

A great transition move by The Magpies leaves Joelinton in great position. However, with better options available, the Brazilian opted to shoot, and the ball missed the goal by a mile.

Sesko received a cross and although he couldn't get a shot on goal off, he warned his opponents about giving him any space inside the box.

Dan Burn hit Luke Shaw with an elbow to the face, which everybody on Man United argued deserved a red card. Burn didn't even receive a yellow card, though.

Barnes hit a beautiful, curling shot from just outside the penalty box. Lammens could do nothing but stand, watching as the ball whistled just wide of the top corner. Newcastle is already doing enough to merit a lead on the scoreboard.

Following a poorly cleared ball by Manchester's defense, Elanga pulled off a half-volley that went just wide of Lammens' left side.

Newcastle lost possession in a dangerous area of the pitch and a quick transition from the Red Devils left Cunha all alone at the door of the penalty box. However, his shot went high and into the stands behind Ramsdale's net.

A cross from Kieran Trippier is miscalculated by Man United's goalkeeper and the right goalpost denies Newcastle's first goal of the evening. Wake up call for the visitors!

Peter Bankes blows his whistle, and the match between Newcastle United and Manchester United at St. James' Park is underway!

Followed by today's match officials, Newcastle and Manchester United take to the field, where a loud fanbase greets them.

Following a costly mistake in the 3-2 defeat to Everton, Howe has elected to drop Nick Pope out of the starting lineup. As a result, Aaron Ramsdale will guard Newcastle's posts against the Red Devils.

During an interview prior to kickoff, Man United manager Michael Carrick addressed his team's current form with a straightforward message.

"Just need to focus on what we can do next game, whether few days or 9-10 days. We need to look after ourselves and take care of that," Carrick said, via TNT Sports. "Whatever happens outside of us, that’s up to everyone else but we’ve put ourselves in a good position."

Over the past five times that Newcastle and Manchester United have met in the Premier League, the Magpies have held the upper hand with three wins to United's two. Notably, during the Red Devils' last visit to St. James' Park in April 2025, they were handed a definitive 4-1 defeat.

However, when the two clubs met earlier this campaign on Boxing Day, it was Manchester United that came away with a 1-0 triumph at Old Trafford.

Peter Bankes will be in charge of officiating the action at St. James' Park. Bankes will be assisted by Eddie Smart and Blake Antrobus on the touchlines, with Tim Robinson serving as the fourth official. Paul Tierney has been appointed as the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), supported by Marc Perry as Assistant VAR (AVAR).

As confirmed by manager Eddie Howe, Nick Woltemade "has gone down ill" heading into Wednesday's home match against Manchester United. Newcastle had hoped their German striker would be healthy enough to feature, but he has been left out of the matchday squad entirely.

For their visit to St. James Park, Manchester United will start the following XI: Lammens; Mazraoui, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha; Sesko

Newcastle, guided by Eddie Howe, will dress this starting lineup: Ramsdale; Trippier, Thiaw, Burn, Hall; Ramsey, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Gordon, Barnes

Kickoff between Newcastle and Manchester United is scheduled for 3:15 PM ET, when the two sides take to the field at St. James Park.
