Newcastle United’s last 10 victories against Monday night’s opponents span 32 years with some of the winning goals in that time being scored by Glenn Roeder, Alan Shearer and Matty Longstaff.
Newcastle have had some recent ‘success’ in this fixture with two wins from their last four encounters at St James’s Park, however, historically they have not fared too well against the Red Devil’s.
On Monday night, Eddie Howe’s side will hope to put the demons of these defeats to bed and secure an unlikely win against Ralf Rangnick’s side – can they use their previous victories to inspire them?
Here, we take a look at the last ten times Newcastle United have defeated Manchester United:

Newcastle came into this game in real relegation danger and with an unknown goalkeeper by the name of Martin Dubravka in goal.
