"With all eyes falling on Old Trafford on Boxing Day, Manchester United will host Newcastle for what could be a real festive Premier League cracker. While the Red Devils might have signed off October in the midst of a rare Premier League flurry, Ruben Amorim's camp have once again shown some glaring inconsistencies and will have plenty of pressure on their shoulders."
"Signing off October with a three-match Premier League winning run, it appeared that Manchester United had finally found their feet under Amorim. However, dropping out of the European spots, the former Sporting Lisbon boss has been vocal about his criticism of his squad and Friday's hosts have continued to show some glaring inconsistencies on either side of November's international break."
"With attacking talisman and skipper Bruno Fernandes set for a stint on the sidelines after suffering a blow away in the Midlands last weekend, the scrutiny on Amorim's position is once again mounting. It should also be highlighted, Manchester United have registered just one-point from any of their previous three consecutive showdowns at Old Trafford."
Manchester United will host Newcastle at Old Trafford on Boxing Day in a high-profile Premier League fixture. United enjoyed a three-match winning run in October but have since shown glaring inconsistencies and dropped out of the European positions under Ruben Amorim. United have recorded only two wins in their last eight league appearances and recently lost 2-1 at Aston Villa. Captain Bruno Fernandes looks set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a blow, increasing scrutiny on Amorim. Manchester United have taken just one point from their last three home league games. Newcastle suffered a second-half collapse at St. James' Park and continue to struggle on the road.
