Of course, there are some exceptions, but, generally, the Red Devils have given their fans plenty of good moments against the Magpies.

Ahead of Saturday’s clash against Newcastle United, Manchester United midfielder Daley Blind has urged his side to stay sharp and focused to continue their winning streak.
The 1995/96 season was a season to remember for Manchester United faithfuls.
The selection would have landed in each of Manchester United’s previous three competitive fixtures and punters are advised to expect Van Gaa’s men to repeat the feat on home turf.
A pre-knighthood Alex Ferguson took his side to St James’ Park and battled for a championship-defining 1-0 win. I’ve experienced this before and the goals will come, I know that, and hopefully that day will come on Saturday against Newcastle.
Newcastle United have only won once at Old Trafford since 1973. In doing so, Manchester United could become a side of old and begin their march to the top of the Premier League. Steve McLaren’s time in charge of Newcastle has gotten off to a slow start and the Magpies really need to turn the corner or they are going to get themselves into trouble.
Ruud van Nistelrooy was one of the greatest center-forwards in the Premier League era and he chose to show his ability in this game.
With Wayne Rooney struggling to score goals this season Manchester United have been looking elsewhere for the inspiration and Juan Mata, Depay and young Belgian winger Januzai have been the key men going forward for United.
With Janmaat’s sending off, Steven Taylor was introduced in the second-half to play alongside Coloccini, with no other option due to an understrength squad, but to play Chancel Mbemba out of position at right-back.
They are both in their 30’s and it would be highly unlikely that one of them would play three games in a week and that is the reason for Schweinsteiger’s arrival with Champions League football also on the horizon.

The more sceptical United supporters may well point out that 14 of the 18 players on duty yesterday, were the same ones at the club last season, when a record-breaking run of consecutive defeats was “achieved”, the worst in Newcastle’s 123 year history.
