'Howay 5-0', stunning free-kicks and red card drama - How Newcastle United secured their last 10 victories over Manchester United
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:

The visitors played eight teenagers for this Coca Cola cup tie and almost grabbed a draw, however, Phillipe Albert’s header, his first goal for Newcastle and a Paul Kitson goal late in the day was enough to secure Kevin Keegan’s side passage into the next round.
