Manchester United vs Newcastle: Predictions, tips & betting odds

Manchester United host Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday with Erik ten Hag's men looking for an improved performance at Old Trafford.

The Reds toiled to a 1-0 victory in front of their own fans against Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia on Thursday evening in the Europa League and face a Newcastle team who are just a point behind them in the table.

Manchester United vs Newcastle latest odds

The Magpies have won their last two matches and bet365 offered them at 5/2 (3.50) to claim their first win at Old Trafford in nine years.

The hosts meanwhile can be backed at 21/20 (2.05) with the draw available at 13/5 (3.60).

Manchester United vs Newcastle first goal scorer odds

The shortest priced player to score first is Cristiano Ronaldo at 15/4 (4.75) although with the 37-year-old having started on Thursday night there is every chance he is on the bench for the visit of the Tynesiders.

Anthony Martial is priced at 6/1 (7.00) ahead of Bruno Fernandes at 7/1 (8.00).

For the visitors, Callum Wilson is available at 11/2 (6.50) with Allan Saint-Maximin at 10/1 (11.00).

Manchester United vs Newcastle preview

Eddie Howe's men head to Old Trafford in fine scoring form having netted nine times in their last two matches and their total of 17 league strikes this term surpasses that of Manchester United.

The Reds have a minus two goal difference compared to Newcastle's plus eight, and the side from Manchester have been shipping plenty of goals.

United have not kept a clean sheet on home in the league this season, and there should be plenty of interest in backing an in-form Newcastle attack to cause them serious problems on Sunday afternoon.

Manchester United vs Newcastle tips and predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 19/20 (1.95) and has paid out in all three of United's home league matches this season as well as in three of Newcastle's last four away games in all competitions.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
