Newcastle end Old Trafford streak but it could have been more: Man United 0-0 Newcastle match report

Newcastle United showed further signs of major progress after emerging with a point at Old Trafford. The stalemate kept up the Magpies' unbeaten run and extended the sequence to five matches but there will be genuine disappointment in the Toon camp that they didn't take all three points.

Joelinton twice hit the woodwork in the first half and Callum Wilson could have had a penalty on another day. Although, a couple of key saves from Nick Pope helped ensure a good point which keeps Newcastle in the top six going into their midweek home game with Everton.

Man United had the game's first attack down the left with just two minutes played but the ball was eventually sent well wide by Fred at the Stretford End. But Newcastle soaked up the small amount of early home pressure and enjoyed a couple of openings of their own.
