Man Utd frustrated by goalless draw against Newcastle

However, the Red Devils had to settle for a share of the spoils, as Newcastle gave a strong and valiant defensive performance.

Meanwhile, Newcastle dropped a 0-2 decision against Swansea City FC last week, as per Chronicle Live.

United peppered Newcastle’s goal in the second half with attempts but they could not beat Tim Krul in the Magpies’ goal. Because of that, Newcastle had to settle for a draw, when they could have walked away with a win.

Manchester United and Newcastle United both had to settle for a point a piece this lunchtime after Wayne Rooney had a goal disallowed for offside.

Memphis Depay looked unsafe, completing the most successful take-ons during the game, while United attacked mainly down the left as has happened most often for the Red Devils so far this season.

WAYNE ROONEY was into single figures with some bookmakers to win the Premier League Golden Boot ante-post but he has been on the drift following a poor start. After the early match, stick around for another five Premier League fixtures taking place simultaneously. I realize that. I thought I had a decent diversion [on Tuesday], could have had an objective or two, however that is football.

And despite being the captain, Louis van Gaal insisted on TV before the game that Rooney was not under any such pressure but that could now change after this recent performance. The 21-year-old still finished the game having completed more dribbles than any other player (7), but his final ball let him down all afternoon. Former club AC Milan have been linked (ESPN), but it may well be worth a look for United, who desperately need some inspiration in front of goal. He played a pivotal role in the victory and is now expected to carry the excellent form into the Premier League. The bookable Aleksandar Mitrovic led the Magpies’ line for the first time – and typically he conceded the first free kick after 30 seconds.

Manchester United’s winning start to the season has come to an end after they were held to a 0-0 draw by Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

No matter the result, this match could be the Premier League’s match of the week, something every fan would love to see from these two clubs.

Maybe it’s time to make that “secret signing” you’ve been discussing all pre-season, Van Gaal, and get your team scoring some goals.
