Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
Sean Longstaff wants to get on the scoresheet with his brother against Manchester United, but the elder sibling blazes over.
That would have been some dinner table convo tonight if it went in.

Gary Murray: I am disappointed Lingard has come on for Rashford. I would much rather James or Mata instead. Even more disappointed that Martial has been substituted.
Easily worst performance of the season by the Toon.

This would have been brilliant.
Andreas Pereira plays a beautiful backheel to Juan Mata and the Spaniard finds Mason Greenwood in the box.
But the teenager's touch lets him down and the ball rolls away for a goal kick.
Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
Newcastle's goalkeeper and defenders have had a game to forget.
Martin Dubravka almost hands the hosts another gift-wrapped goal when he spills Jesse Lingard's cross, but manages to scramble back and collect at the second attempt ahead of Juan Mata.
Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
The hat-trick wait for Manchester United goes on.
A final change for the hosts, Anthony Martial coming off with Juan Mata coming on.
Still nearly 25 minutes to play.

Marcus Rashford must have taken a knock as he is trotting straight down the tunnel.
Either that or he is unhappy at being subbed...
Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
Another change for Newcastle.
DeAndre Yedlin replaces Miguel Almiron.
The home side also make a sub, Marcus Rashford makes way for Jesse Lingard.

David: Steve Bruce should make a treble substitution. I don’t care who comes on; he can choose any three from 11 to come off.
As a Newcastle fan this is disappointing but we've not defended this poorly in ages. Gifting goals to an average Man Utd here.
Ken, Newcastle
Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
Manchester United have not had a player score a Premier League hat-trick since 22 April 2013 (2013!!!) when Robin van Persie netted a triple against Aston Villa.
Can Anthony Martial finally put that stat to bed?
As I write that, he almost does but his low strike cannons back off the foot of the post.
Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
A change for Newcastle.
Christian Atsu enters in place of Dwight Gayle.
Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
Only Sheffield United (6) have made more errors leading to goals than Newcastle (5) in the Premier League this season.
Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
Nothing wrong with Paul Pogba's foot now.
The Frenchman jinks right and left - like he was doing at his brother's wedding - before curling a shot straight down the throat of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle
Penalty for Manchester United?
VAR is checking a foul on Anthony Martial by Fabian Schar.
Check completed, play on.

Gary Murray: United should build on the first half and go for the jugular
That Newcastle defence is an absolute shambles. How many goals to they want to gift Man Utd.

BBC Sport at Old Trafford
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has entered the fray - on the day he spearheaded a new anti-racism campaign.
Pogba wore a customised black and white band bearing the insignia 'No To Racism. We Are All One' before the game.
The band was worn by all United's players during the warm-up.
The France midfielder intends to maintain the initiative on social and digital media.
Anthony Martial (51 mins)
A second for the Frenchman.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is smiling now, Steve Bruce is not.
Sean Longstaff plays a horrible blind backpass towards goalkeeper Martin Dubravka but it gets nowhere near the goalkeeper and Anthony Martial cuts it out.
Martial runs forward and dinks a gorgeous finish over Dubravka and the home fans sing "Ole, Ole Ole Ole."
Not heard that for a while at Old Trafford.
Man Utd 3-1 Newcastle
The home side passing it around confidently, Fred booting the ball into Paul Pogba's feet.
The Frenchman curls a first-time shot wide from 25 yards out in front of the Stretford End.
Man Utd 3-1 Newcastle
This is a different proposition for Manchester United now.
They have a two-goal lead, can they keep control and manage to see the game out?

Robert: Martial, Mason, Marcus. Manchester United!!!
Samrat: Mason Greenwood should take Pereira aside and teach him the fine art of shooting at a target. A shameful shooter for a Brazilian.
Man Utd 3-1 Newcastle
Off we go for the second half.
