Manchester United hope to keep their hot streak under Michael Carrick alive as they travel to meet Newcastle in Premier League action on Wednesday.

The Red Devils, now competing in only one competition the remainder of the season, have been exceptional since Carrick took over for the sacked Ruben Amorim. Under Carrick's leadership, United have yet to taste defeat through his first seven matches, winning six and drawing one.

Newcastle has been a house of horrors for this team of late, however, having failed to win each of their last four league visits to this ground while winning just two of their last eight.

Currently sitting 13th, Newcastle are in poor form, having lost four of their last five Premier League games. They are staring at a Champions League quarterfinal matchup against Barcelona coming up shortly, as well as an FA Cup meeting with Man City also on the horizon.

Newcastle vs. Man United key moments

Prematch: Manchester United have benefitted recently from a lack of fixture congestion, having been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions and failing to qualify for European play this season. In fact, the 2025/26 season will see the Red Devils play their fewest matches in a single season since all the way back in 1917.

That has been a big contributor to why Michael Carrick has been able to turn this team around. Not only can Carrick take his time implementing new tactics and styles on the training pitch, but injured players are getting healthier, and those available for selection can recover from game action more naturally.

To illustrate this point, following this match, Newcastle are scheduled to play three different games before United next take the field.
