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:

Boxing Day 1987 was a memorable one for Newcastle United as a solitary goal from the late-Glenn Roeder was enough to secure the Toon a win. As half-time beckoned, Paul Gascoigne’s free-kick pinballed in the area before it was slammed home by Roeder. (Photo Allsport/Getty Images) Photo: Getty Images

A strong challenge by Norman Whiteside on John Anderson, which was followed up by Peter Jackson’s retaliation on Whiteside started a feisty encounter at St James’s Park. Roeder’s towering header was cancelled out by a fantastic strike by Gordon Strachan before Paul Goddard poked home the winner to send the Gallowgate into raptures.
