Manchester United will hope to make it a fourth straight win under their new manager as they travel to face Newcastle on January 2nd. But will this trip prove to be their undoing in their first game of 2019?

Current form: Newcastle United vs Manchester United

Newcastle United may be struggling, but Rafa Benitez has a good record when it comes to taking on Manchester United, especially at home. The Spanish tactician notably has won each of his last four home games in charge of English clubs against Manchester United, which includes two victories while in charge of Liverpool, once while at the helm of Chelsea, and more significant, at this same ground last season.

However, they are winless in their last four games and have won just one of their last seven games. More concerning is the fact that they have lost seven of their ten league fixtures and will be taking on a Manchester United side rapidly growing in confidence since the giants opted to make a big change on the tactician's bench.

Three wins from their last three games under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have Manchester United fans feeling a lot more hopeful these days. The Norwegian, who once played under Sir Alex Ferguson, was brought back to Old Trafford as the club's management desperately sought a turnaround after struggling badly under Jose Mourinho for the first part of the season. However, could this trip to Newcastle's ground be a stumbling block? Although the Red Devils have lost just one of their last eight fixtures against the Magpies, they did lose in their last trip to this ground, and haven't won here since August 2015.
