Two incredible saves by goalkeeper De Gea kept the net intact in the match for United. Trippier's umpteenth climb to put a real candy for Isak. The Swede rose above the Manchester United defenders to head in at goal, but De Gea prevented the goal. In turn, the rebound fell to Willock, who finished off against the body of the Spanish goalkeeper in second instance.

Newcastle has been close. Good play by Saint-Maximin to get rid of Antony and put a good delivery into the area. That's where Longstaff appeared again to finish off completely alone, but his header went very close to the right post of De Gea's goal.

He tries to touch Manchester United to take the pressure off Newcastle. Ten Hag's pupils have chosen to cool down the game a bit, because he is becoming a true runner.

At times Manchester United makes it easy and has constant counterattacking starts from Ten Hag's men, so that Bruno Fernandes put a millimeter cross on Dalot, who arrived totally free at the far post. However, the volley from the Portuguese defender was very centered and the goalkeeper was able to catch it without any problems.

Recap at half time of the game

He is suffering a lot at Manchester United. Ten Hag's charges are being supported by David De Gea, who has produced a pair of miraculous mitts. For their part, the Reds will have to improve if they want to have a chance of winning today at St.James Park and Newcastle want revenge after losing the EFL Cup final.
