Lively and fluid attacking movements forwards from Manchester United as they look to double their lead before the half-time whistle. Patrick Dorgu had a shot saved by Aaron Ramsdale after he scored the opener.
Patrick Dorgu on the scoresheet for Manchester United as he nets an absolutely banger of a goal. Diogo Dalot took a long throw in and the initial clearance from Bruno Guimaraes was taken as volley first time by Danish.
Brilliant left-footed attempt that by Dorgu and Manchester United's patience have been rewarded finally.
End-to-end action so far, but slightly in favour of Manchester United who are coping up well despite the absences of Harry Maguire, Bryan Mbuemo and Bruno Fernandes.

We are underway for the first-half of this all-important Premier League fixture. Man United (in red) will start from left to right while Newcastle (in white-black) start from right to left.
Occupying 11th place, Newcastle's form has been a rollercoaster of high-scoring results. They recently threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Chelsea, following a stinging 1-0 derby loss to Sunderland. Despite defensive frailties, Nick Woltemade remains in red-hot form, scoring twice in their last outing.
Manchester United has faced a turbulent December, currently sitting 7th in the Premier League.
After a commanding 4-1 win over Wolves and a chaotic 4-4 draw with Bournemouth, they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa. Injuries to Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo have further challenged Ruben Amorim’s tactical consistency.
