To many Newcastle fans, Manchester United are considered the second rivals. Since we are way too big to be compared to Sunderland, we might as well find new rivals instead of waiting to play the team a tier below us.

Newcastle vs Manchester United head-to-head: The 5 recent results from this fixture
With that in mind, let's take a look at the 5 recent results of Newcastle vs Manchester United, in preparation for this weekend's fixture.
Manchester United 0-3 Newcastle, November 2023
We don't have to cast our minds too far back for this one, as we knocked Man United out of the Carabao Cup this season in their own backyard. A dominant display which consisted of goals from Almiron, Hall and Willock ended the myth that Old Trafford is a fortress which is impossible to win at.
Newcastle 2-0 Manchester United, April 2023
This was the fixture which gave us hope that we could actually finish third in the Premier League table towards the end of the 2022-23 season, although it ultimately didn't end that way. A fabulous display at home with goals from Willock and Wilson capped off a great season from the Magpies.
Manchester United 0-2 Newcastle, February 2023
The less said about this one, the better. I'm sure Newcastle fans need no reminding of the 2023 Carabao Cup final, where a Pope-less Eddie Howe side lost thanks to goals from Rashford and Casemiro.
Manchester United 0-0 Newcastle, October 2022
Towards the start of the memorable 2022-23 campaign, we picked up a good result against Man United on the road. It was as entertaining as goalless draws come.
Newcastle 1-1 Manchester United, December 2021
We concluded our double header against Man United in the 2021-22 season a couple of days after Christmas Day. An early goal from Allan Saint-Maximin (remember him, eh?) was cancelled out by Edinson Cavani.
