Is Man United v Newcastle on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League fixture | OneFootball

Manchester United host Newcastle United in the only Premier League fixture to be taking place on Boxing Day.

Ruben Amorim’s side lost 2-1 at Aston Villa in their last outing, and also suffered the blow of losing captain and talisman Bruno Fernandes to injury.

It leaves the hosts looking depleted as they will be without Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo over the festive period due to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Newcastle, who are also missing players in defence, were involved in a thrilling but controversial 2-2 draw with Chelsea last weekend.

Eddie Howe’s team blew a two-goal lead after half-time but were denied a “stonewall” penalty for a foul on Anthony Gordon.

Newcastle have won just two away matches all season but triumphed 2-0 at Old Trafford when the teams met last season.

When is Manchester United v Newcastle?

Kick off is 8pm GMT on Friday 26 December at Old Trafford.
