Fred takes on an ambitious effort from distance but leans back and sends it high over the bar.

67'
Mata enters the game and replaces A. Martial.
There will be no hat-trick for Martial tonight as he comes off for Mata, allowing Greenwood to move into his preferred central striking berth.
65'
Newcastle have a brief spell of possession, but they can't do anything with it. Heads have dropped now and the visiting team look a beaten side.
63'

D. Yedlin enters the game and replaces M. Almirón.

57'
Schar, who has soldiered on, gets forward and blazes a shot high into the stands. He was never likely to score from there.
55'
Newcastle will feel that they have been their own undoing. Individual errors for the first and fourth goal have taken this game almost certainly beyond their reach now.

51'
A. Martial has scored a goal for Manchester United!
GOAL!! MARTIAL IS GIFTED A SECOND! A woeful back-pass from Sean Longstaff under pressure turns into a perfect throughball for Martial, who races clean through on goal before dinking the ball over the diving Dubravka! It's 4-1 to Manchester United!

45' +2
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 3-1 NEWCASTLE UNITED

Wan-Bissaka beat Willems with ease down the flank and produced a fine cross for Rashford to meet.
GOAL!! RASHFORD MAKES IT 3-1! Wan-Bissaka beats Willems with a change of pace and stands a cross up at the back post where Rashford rises highest to thump a header into the corner!

38'
F. Schär gets yellow.
Schar is booked for a poor challenge on Rashford just on the edge of the box. It's a dangerous position for the set-piece.
36'
M. Greenwood has scored a goal for Manchester United!
GOAL!! WHAT A HIT BY GREENWOOD!! What a goal from the youngster! A sloppy pass from Schar under pressure goes straight to Greenwood on the right. He drifts inside before unleashing a fearsome strike with his left that cannons in off the underside of the crossbar! It's 2-1 to Manchester United now!
35'
Andreas Pereira gets yellow.
Pereira leaves his studs in as he goes into a sliding challenge on Schar and earns himself a yellow card.
33'
United look at their most dangerous in transition, using the pace of their forward line to counter, but Newcastle are not committing enough men forward to leave enough space for the hosts to really take advantage of.
31'
Pereira takes on another ambitious effort from outside the box after Fred won it back high up the field, but he drags this one wide of the mark.
26'
Pereira then tries to get himself on the scoresheet, but he blazes well over from some distance. Not the right decision.
24'
A. Martial has scored a goal for Manchester United! Assist by Andreas Pereira.
GOAL!! UNITED ARE LEVEL! Shaw advances down the left and cuts the ball into Pereira in the box. The midfielder sets the ball for Martial to strike with his first touch, and the ball squirms into the back of the net despite Dubravka getting a hand to it in the bottom-left corner! The goalkeeper will feel he should have done better there.
Pereira - who had his back to goal - took just one touch to set the ball up for Martial, who was coming in at a better angle to shoot.
22'
United break and Fred lines one up outsie the box, but his effort lacks the power and placement to really trouble Dubravka, who holds on.
21'
Rashford and Greenwood try to respond at the other end, but both players see their shots cannon back off defenders.
17'
M. Longstaff has scored a goal for Newcastle United! Assist by Joelinton.
GOAL!! NEWCASTLE LEAD AT OLD TRAFFORD! Matty Longstaff dinks the ball over the top for Joelinton, but the striker has Maguire for company and plays it back to the midfielder just inside the area in a central position. He takes a touch and then drills a low effort through Maguire's legs and into the bottom-left corner! It's 1-0 to Newcastle!
Joelinton showed good strength to hold the ball up, but was also composed, aware and unselfish enough to cut the ball back rather than attempting to shoot from an unlikely angle himself.
14'
Almiron finds himself in space to the left of goal but swipes wildly at his effort with his left foot and slices the shot well wide of goal.
12'
The shot is blocked by Fernandez in the wall and spins behind for a corner. That effort had plenty of pace and dip, but just not enough height.
11'
Pereira wins a free-kick in a promising position to left of goal. Rashford steps up with intent.
9'
United try to break but are faced with a wall of Newcastle defenders. Wan-Bissaka works the ball back to McTominay outside the area and he tries to whip one towards the bottom corner, but it's wide of the mark and nobody is there to steer it on target.
7'
No chances for either side yet as both feel their way into the game. It's been fairly even thus far.
5'
The Scotland midfielder's yellow card was the fastest booking in the Premier League this season.
3'
McTominay is not moving freely and has a little problem. Pogba is warming up on the sidelines just in case as the midfielder tries to run off the issue.
1'
S. McTominay gets yellow.
We're under way at Old Trafford!
McTominay picks up what must be one of the quickest bookings in history as he catches Sean Longstaff with his studs inside the opening 30 seconds.
