Since beating Man City in mid-month, Man United have lost three games in a row in all competitions. Manager Ruben Amorim will be feeling the pressure of the team's problems.
The Red Devils are currently 14th in the Premier League table and have little hope of finishing in the top four. Their best chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League is through the Europa League.
In contrast, Newcastle are maintaining good form and are a candidate for the top 4 position. The Magpies do not have to compete in the European Cup so they do not suffer many personnel losses due to injury or overload.
They are also very difficult to beat at St James' Park, with Eddie Howe's men losing just one of their seven games in all competitions. Those performances suggest they have the ability to maintain their good form in the second half of the season.
Considering many factors, there is reason for the Red Devils to be worried when traveling to Newcastle's field on the last day of the year.
