Manchester United vs Newcastle LIVE Premier League: Latest score and updates

All the latest from Premier League fixture at Old Trafford

Mourinho on United's Valencia draw and Scholes criticism

Manchester United face Newcastle in a big Premier League match for both teams. They both desperately need a result on Saturday evening, as United welcome the Magpies to Old Trafford.

Jose Mourinho has faced a barrage of criticism for his side’s recent performances, with Tuesday’s goalless draw at home to Valencia in the Champions League resulting in a chorus of boos at the Theatre of Dreams.

Newcastle have had a similarly poor start to the season, with Rafa Benitez’s outfit yet to win a match this season and lost 2-0 at home to Leicester City last Saturday.

What time does it start?

Manchester United vs Newcastle United kicks off at 5:30PM (BST) on Saturday 6 October.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on BT Sport 1 from 5pm.

BT Sport subscribers can also watch online via the BT Sport app.

Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC One.

It’s a big game for…

Rafa Benitez: The Newcastle manager, following a summer of limited activity in the transfer market, is yet to win a match this season in all competitions. Currently languishing in the relegation zone, the Magpies need to find some sort of form, and fast. The opportunity to beat an under-pressure old nemesis in Jose Mourinho will serve as extra motivation for Benitez to get a result at Old Trafford.

Weird /best stat…

1: Newcastle United have only beaten Manchester United once in their last 36 matches, losing 26 of those games.

Remember when…

Ruud Van Nistelrooy scored a hat-trick in this fixture 16 years ago, in a topsy-turvy game which included Alan Shearer’s 100^th Premier League goal for Newcastle with a thunderous free-kick. United won 5-3, and finished the 2002/03 season as champions; Newcastle finished third. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfzF1Wfe0FQ

Player to watch…

Marcus Rashford: In a Man United side currently looking devoid of inspiration in the final third, Rashford always provides a threat with his pace and trickery. Although likely to be up against the rapid DeAndre Yedlin on the left-hand side, the 20-year-old scored last week against West Ham, and will fancy his chances against the Magpies given their weak defensive display last week against Leicester.
