Jacob Ramsey was sent off in first-half stoppage time after diving to win a penalty kick against Senne Lammens, having been booked earlier in the half for a foul on Casemiro. Barely two minutes later, Newcastle were awarded a penalty after Bruno Fernandes clipped Anthony Gordon knee-to-knee just inside the penalty area. Gordon converted five minutes into stoppage time, but Man United were level just as quickly after Casemiro headed home Fernandes' free kick nearly nine minutes into the original three.
Newcastle looked the likelier side to score early in the second half before Man United took their turn on top and, coming closest to a winning goal in the 75th minute when Leny Yoro's wide-open header was somehow saved by Aaron Ramsdale. That set the stage for Osula, who weaved his way past Tyrell Malacia and curled the ball around both Harry Maguire and Lammens, tucking it into the side netting just inches inside the far post. A goal as great as it was unlikely.

The Red Devils hit St. James' Park on Wednesday after taking 19 of their last 21 points under caretaker boss Michael Carrick. Man Utd drew their last three matches under Ruben Amorim and have not lost in the league since Dec. 21, 2025 at Aston Villa. That streak started with a 1-0 win over Newcastle at Old Trafford on Boxing Day. The Magpies bounced back to win three-straight Premier League games but are nearly as cold as the Red Devils are hot over the last six weeks.
Eddie Howe's Magpies have won just once in Premier League play since January 7 with five losses including three at SJP, which had been a fortress for much of the season and last. Newcastle's next six games span three competitions and are a brutal ask of a team missing star midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, as the Magpies meet Man United, Man City, Barcelona, Chelsea, Barca again, and derby rivals Sunderland between now and March 22.

Newcastle vs Manchester United prediction
Benjamin Sesko has five goals in his last eight Premier League games and Newcastle has had trouble keeping clean sheets. In fact, they've conceded two or more goals in six of their last eight PL games. They'll rally for kickoff but it's going to be tight. Newcastle United 2-2 Manchester United.
