10 Stats That Show Why Newcastle United Lost To Manchester United

6. Newcastle Have Failed To Score In Four Of Their Last Five Matches Against Man United At St James' Park

Newcastle United's recent home record against Manchester United is dire. In the last five games between the sides at St James' Park, the visitors have scored seven and conceded just three - and all of those against were netted in just one game. Those five scores have read: Newcastle United 0-1 Manchester United (04/03/15) Newcastle United 0-4 Manchester United (05/04/14) Newcastle United 0-3 Manchester United (07/08/12) Newcastle United 3-0 Manchester United (04/01/12) Newcastle United 0-0 Manchester United (19/04/11) An aggregate score of 0-8 in the last three home games makes for particularly sorry reading - and the Magpies must start hitting the back of the net if they want to correct their dismal run against the Red Devils.
