Gary Neville feels Newcastle United 'deserved' to be in front after an impressive first-half showing in the goalless draw at Manchester United. The Sky Sports pundit also praised Eddie Howe's side for posing a constant threat from set-pieces at Old Trafford.
Eddie Howe's side pressed the hosts in the opening 45 minutes, and had a strong penalty shout turned down when Callum Wilson was brought down by Raphael Varane. Joelinton came closest to scoring, but saw two successive headers strike the woodwork.
Manchester United had their own penalty shout waved away after the interval, with Jadon Sancho going down following a challenge from Sean Longstaff. Fred and Marcus Rashford both spurned clear late chances to snatch the victory for Erik ten Hag's side.
