Manchester United will be without three crucial players when they meet Newcastle United on Boxing Day.
The Red Devils have lost their last two games against the Magpies, and they have been defeated twice in three home games versus Eddie Howe’s team. Newcastle United achieved their first Premier League double over Manchester United last season, defeating Ruben Amorim’s team 2-0 at Old Trafford just before the turn of the year and then winning 4-1 at St James’ Park in April.

This year’s Boxing Day battle, the only Premier League game on that day, promises to be a close one that might impact both sides’ European prospects. With such a close game expected, minor margins might be the difference between the two teams – and the fact that the hosts will be missing three players owing to international obligations is a significant advantage for Newcastle United. According to shieldsgazette.
Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui will all be absent for the African Cup of Nations later this month, missing Manchester United’s game against Newcastle United on Boxing Day. Mbeumo will play for Cameroon, Diallo for Ivory Coast, and Mazraoui for Morocco, the host nation.
