    This is Newcastle's best spell of the game but they need to capitalise while they are on top.

    More desperate defending from Man Utd. Two blocks prevent Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes getting shots through the mass of bodies and to De Gea's goal.

    This is daft.

    Sven Botman throws the ball down after a decision goes against Newcastle. He is booked for it.

    It's all Newcastle at the moment.

    They're not giving David de Gea anything to do, though.

    Man Utd 2-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle are throwing men forward. There has been a couple of occasions in the last few minutes when they've been one decent ball away from getting.

    Man Utd are throwing men in front of the ball, flinging themselves into tackles to keep them out.

    All hands to the pump.

    Allan Saint-Maximin is such a frustrating footballer.

    He does so much right to win the ball, beat a man, keep the ball in and cut inside to the edge of the Man Utd box. But after all that, a lazy pass gives the ball away.

    Man Utd needs leaders now to step up and manage this game until they see it out!

    We've had an hour. Manchester United remain in control.

    They are handling pretty much everything Newcastle are throwing at them.

    Manchester United smother you as soon as you think there is some space. That's the big difference under Ten Hag this season.

  11. Pivotal periodpublished at 17:53 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2023

    This feels like a pivotal period in the game.

    Newcastle have had more threat since half-time and are exerting some pressure around the Manchester United box.

    Their supporters are sensing it and are getting behind their team.

    There is plenty of time left but they need to maintain their offensive.

    Bruno Guimaraes gets a bit of magic spray to his knee and looks OK to carry on. Much to Newcastle's relief.

  13. Postpublished at 58 mins

    Man Utd 2-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle try to muscle their way into the Man Utd box to find a clear shooting chance. There are two many bodies, though, and neither Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton or Allan Saint-Maximin can make anything happen.

    Guimaraes then chases a loose ball to fly into a tackle that causes him some pain due to his studs getting caught in the turf.

  14. 'Newcastle being positive'published at 17:50 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2023

    Man Utd 2-0 Newcastle

    Ben Mee
    Brentford defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Newcastle are being really positive.

    They are getting plenty of balls into the box and giving Isak and Wilson something to attack.

    Man Utd 2-0 Newcastle

    All the talk before this game was of the Newcastle dark arts that Manchester United had to try and combat.

    I suspect we'll see Erik ten Hag's side employing a few of their own now to manage this game to a successful conclusion.

    Man Utd take the next corner short and chip a cross to the near post for Wout Weghorst to tamely head at Loris Karius.

    The corner is floated over and nodded behind again by Dan Burn. Pressure.

    Bruno Fernandes wants a corner after his shot flies off target. Bruno Fernandes gets a corner.

    Callum Wilson is furious.

    He darts to the near post and is prevented from steering a high-booted poke towards goal by the head of Lisandro Martinez.

    He wants a corner but a goal-kick is awarded. I think Wilson may have been the last touch, though.

    Isak is having an impact straight away. He's already been involved in three attacks and he's giving his midfielders options.
