Newcastle United vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St. James' Park
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Manchester United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Newcastle United vs Manchester United
Dalot beats Joelinton for pace in midfield before playing a pass forward for Garnacho, whose low cross into the penalty area is put a few inches too far ahead of Fernandes, and just too far behind the run of Zirkzee.

Tonali is given the time and space to have three touches to set himself before firing a shot towards goal from 30 yards out, with nobody in the Manchester United defence ready to close down the Italy international. Looking for a second in quick succession, this time the midfielder doesn’t get his angles right - missing the net entirely.

Lindelof steps forward out of defence to harry Isak in possession, but the centre-back uses his hands a bit too much and gives away a free-kick deep in the right channel.

Manchester United have conceded the opening goal in a Premier League game on 19 occasions this season; their joint-most in a single campaign in the competition (also 19 in 2013-14).

ISAK FAILS TO HIT THE TARGET! Guimaraes’ cross from the right finds the head of a leaping Isak between Mazraoui and Lindelof, but the striker can’t quite force Bayindir into a save, putting his chance just wide of the post!
Newcastle United vs Manchester United
Guimaraes chips an inviting pass down the right flank for Isak, who is looking to stretch the Manchester United defence, but Amass takes up a good position and puts in a well-timed sliding challenge. Newcastle are given a throw deep in the opposition’s half but it gives the visitors a chance to regroup and reorganise ahead of play restarting.

Burn is the 15th player to make his 200th Premier League appearance while playing for Newcastle, and the first since current team-mate Pope in October 2024.
