    Huge cheers go up as the offside flag goes up just after Edinson Cavani was fouled 20 yards out. That would have been a free-kick in scoring range for Manchester United.

    Now Martin Dubravka passes the ball out for a throw-in. It's getting very nervy.

    That would have been the most Newcastle thing to happen this season as Martin Dubravka drops a simple ball in the box but Edinson Cavani can't pick out Cristiano Ronaldo to score the winner.

    Has Fabian Schar hurt his hamstring while playing a ball forward? Maybe but they have no subs left so he's playing on.

    Graham Thirkill: De Gea has been SUPERB tonight. If the rest played even half as well then Man United would be cruising.

    Joelinton wants a penalty as his shot is blocked by the hand of Raphael Varane. Referee says no and maybe it was outside the box anyway.

    Wrong decision by Miguel Almiron. He bursts into the box but tries to beat Harry Maguire on the outside instead of cutting in and the England defender wins the ball.

    What a brilliant piece of action. A phenomenal save from David de Gea, it couldn't have been hit any better. What a finish to the game that would've been.

    Kris Jefferson: Newcastle’s poor defending yet again catching up to them. The amount of space Cavani has in the middle of the box for that goal was ridiculous.

    Nick: This is going to be so gutting for Newcastle when Ronaldo pops up with the winner in the 90th minute.

    This is the LAST thing Newcastle want to see. Allan Saint-Maximin is injured. He pulls up as he runs onto a ball, there was no opposition player touching him.

    Ten minutes to go. It feels as if Manchester United are more likely to win if this game is going to be won.

    Newcastle are leaving themselves wide open. When Newcastle try to overlap, they leave a massive area there on their left.
