Unusual Boxing Day: Manchester United win with a stunner, tradition broken | OneFootball

Boxing Day 2025 was an exception in the Premier League and had only one match scheduled. At Old Trafford, Manchester United defeated Newcastle with a stunning goal by Patrick Dorgu, on a day that marked a historic break in the English calendar.

United's victory was the only match played on this December 26th, a date traditionally associated with a full day of football in England. However, due to contractual issues with television networks, the Premier League decided to spread the matches between the 27th and 28th, leaving this game as the only one of the day.

With this result, the Red Devils ended the year with a smile in front of their fans, on a different Boxing Day, where the television business won, at least this time, over one of the most iconic traditions of English football.
