A defender of that level knows, if they're not going to get the ball, they're going to get the player and that's what Manuel Ugarte does.
Tino Livramento gallops down the left to win the free-kick.
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
Diogo Dalot slips which lets Tino Livramento drive forward. Manuel Ugarte then takes him out with a sliding challenge and goes in the book.
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
United get caught out by a Newcastle high press and Dan Burn feeds Alexander Isak whose cross into the middle can't find a team-mate.

Great start by Man United - Newcastle look determined to not take up the great opportunity to get a firmer grip on a CL spot

Manchester United look like a better team when Joshua Zirkzee is on the pitch. There, I said it.
Newcastle ping in another cross but Altay Bayindir easily gathers.

Delicious football.
The little flick turn by Joshua Zirkzee, everything about that move was brilliant but he just couldn't finish it.
It's a good save by Nick Pope.
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
United take the corner short to Christian Eriksen, although his low cross is caught by Pope.
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
Great move from Manchester United. Joshua Zirkzee backheels the ball to Bruno Fernandes who gives it back to him. Zirkzee then shoots from the edge of the box but his effort is tipped over by Nick Pope.
Nice football.

It is funny when you see Joelinton against most players and they try and muscle him off the ball. Why even bother?
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
Comfortable take from Altay Bayindir who confidently claims Kieran Trippier's wide free-kick.
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
First Manchester United attack. Alejandro Garnacho finds Diogo Dalot on the overlap and his cross is just over the head of Joshua Zirkzee. Zirkzee keeps the ball in play though and his touch even hits the arm of a Newcastle defender. But the defender was only a few yards away from the attacker and play is waved on.

Harry Amass is a left-back originally, so you wonder if he'll be defensive or attacking. He look really comfortable on the ball, he wants to get the ball down and play.
You need to find out how good he's going to be defensively, and he will be today, Newcastle will make sure of it.
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
Amorim's message is working. Manchester United take some sting out of the game with some crisp passing. Altay Bayindir takes out two defenders with one particularly accurate ball forward.
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
Ruben Amorim's already on the edge of his technical area, telling his players to calm down. Manuel Ugarte's forward pass goes straight out of play for a goal kick.

Murphy didn't test the keeper there but he was very, very close to finding the bottom corner.
United haven't got going yet. Nobody closed Murphy down.

Newcastle's first attempts to get the ball, they get it wide to take on the kids.
Footballers have absolutely no heart. Then they put it in the middle to test the new goalkeeper as well.
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
Newcastle are all over Manchester United.
Joshua Zirkzee gives the ball away with a no-look pass and Jacob Murphy drives forward before firing narrowly wide from range.

If they could get Champions League, what a season that would be for Newcastle fans.
I know they've got it before but they'd go into it in much better shape.
Newcastle 0-0 Man Utd
Newcastle already have the ball in the net as Kieran Trippier crosses for Joelinton who taps in.
The flag goes up immediately though. Joelinton went too early.

So then, I wonder if my totally serious 5-0 prophecy will stand.
Altay Bayindir calls for a loose ball but Victor Lindelof doesn't hear him and makes a panicked clearance.

Following their 2-0 win at Old Trafford in December, Newcastle are looking to complete their first league double over Manchester United since the 1930-31 campaign.
Manchester United have lost their last two away Premier League games against Newcastle, last losing three consecutive league visits to St. James’ Park between 1969 and 1970.
Newcastle have won four of their last five meetings with Manchester United in all competitions (L1), as many as they had in their previous 41 (D9 L28).
Each of Newcastle’s last eight victories over Manchester United in all competitions have been to nil – they’ve won none of their last 34 when conceding against the Red Devils (D5 L29) since a 4-3 Premier League victory in September 2001.
Victory for Newcastle would make them the fourth team to do the Premier League double over Manchester United this season, the most different sides to do so in a single top-flight campaign since 1957-58 (4).
Only Leicester City (14) and Everton (13) have failed to score in more different Premier League games this season than Manchester United (12), who have drawn a blank in their last two in the league. It’s the most times the Red Devils have failed to score in a single league season since 1989-90 (16).
Newcastle have won 11 of their last 15 Premier League games, losing the other four. Since the first game in this run (December 14th), no side have won more (Liverpool also 11).
Ruben Amorim is averaging 1.15 points-per-game in the Premier League; the only managers in Manchester United’s history to average lower than that in the top-flight (20+ games, assuming 3 pts/win all-time) are AH Albut (0.73) and Scott Duncan (1.00).
Newcastle’s Jacob Murphy has been directly involved in 19 goals in 33 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring eight and assisting 11. Only in 2015-16 with Coventry has he registered 20 goal involvements in a single campaign in his career (10 goals, 10 assists).
Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has created more chances than any player in the Premier League this season (75). It’s the fifth time he has created 75+ chances in a single season in the competition, with the only player on record (from 2003-04) to do so more times is Kevin De Bruyne (7).
