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.

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:

On what was Sir Bobby Robson’s 100th game in charge of Newcastle, Laurent Robert’s superb free-kick kick-started a memorable day at St James’s Park.
