'A very strong point' Newcastle United supporters react to Manchester United stalemate draw

A dogged second half defensive performance from Newcastle United saw Eddie Howe's side claim a point away at Manchester United with a 0-0 draw.

After a back and forth first half, the Magpies defended well after the break to keep the hosts at bay. Bodies were thrown on the line by Newcastle to prevent Manchester United from finding the back of the net.

Had Marcus Rashford managed to keep his late injury time header on target, it might have been a different story. But overall, it was another resolute performance away from home, one which Newcastle fans have come to appreciate from Howe's side.

The result means the Magpies remain in sixth place having only lost one game this term so far to Liverpool. And Newcastle fans have taken to social media to voice their thoughts on the 0-0 Old Trafford draw.

A brilliant point. Solid and steady throughout, and we could have won it with a couple of our chances. Under Howe, we just stick to our system and never panic. We’re a proper team with everyone fighting for each other and it’s wonderful to see the spirit on show each week.
