69 min: Newcastle seem to have the stronger bench. Now Howe has turned to it with Vissa, Barnes and Joelinton. Meanwhile, United seem to have no one else to help. To maintain this it can be turned down to 11.

67 min: Chance! Oh Gordon’s got to score! A lovely chip play from Murphy forward, but he slides his finish across and wide of goal! Voltamed wasn’t there for the tap-in either.
Newcastle have now made a huge triple change: Barnes, Wisa and Joelinton come on. Voltemade, Murphy, Ramsey, go away.

64 min: No penalty! The fact that Martínez was pushy with Thiaw led to his acquittal.

63 min: There will now be a VAR check for handball on Lisandro Martínez. He had his hands up and blocked Schar’s shot from close range, jostling with Thiaw at the back post.

62 min: Off the bar! Lewis Hall is so unlucky! He is allowed to take the ball forward and takes a crack at breaking the bottom of the bar with a dipping shot!

61 min: Change for United! That was Sesko’s last action. He has been replaced by Zirkzee, while Casemiro looks stunned to be replaced by Lenny Yoro. Amorim is moving back into the back five.

60 minutes; Out of the bar! Was it offside? Ugarte steals the ball from Guimarães and suddenly Cesaro moves forward, turning awkwardly! He goes for the near post but rattles the crossbar!
And Sesko was onside! Shar had kept him away from everyone! A big opportunity missed.

59 min: Newcastle are applying the pressure but without converting it into chances. United have only one clean sheet this season but have defended well so far. Amorim has replaced Jack Fletcher with Cunha, so the youngster is on the left to provide more protection for Luke Shaw.

Manchester United 1-0 Newcastle
56 min: Manchester United have dropped home points against Everton, West Ham and Bournemouth over the winter months and Newcastle are starting to knock on the door. Achieving this would be a huge result for Ruben Amorim.
