Manchester United F.C. vs Newcastle United F.C. Prediction 26 December 2025

Manchester United sit seventh with 26 points and a 31:28 goal difference, already marking a significant improvement on last season. In their last five outings, the Red Devils recorded wins over Crystal Palace (2–1) and Wolverhampton (4–1), drew thrilling encounters with West Ham (1–1) and Bournemouth (4–4), and suffered a narrow 2–1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have collected 23 points with a 23:22 goal difference, leaving them eleventh in the table. The Magpies impressed with victories against Everton (4–1) and Burnley (2–1), but dropped points in recent matches versus Tottenham (2–2), Sunderland (0–1), and Chelsea (2–2).

With both sides closely matched and consistently involved in high-scoring games, this fixture has all the ingredients for another entertaining contest. Goals should be on the menu, and it would be no surprise to see at least three scored when Manchester United and Newcastle go head-to-head.
