"Down to the bare bones because of injuries and international call-ups, Amorim's makeshift team hung on for a narrow-yet-valuable 1-0 victory at Old Trafford. It was sealed thanks to a stunning strike from Patrick Dorgu, the left-back starting as a right winger. Under immense pressure from Newcastle throughout the second half, the result was seen out by a defence consisting of Leny Yoro, Tyler Fredricson, Ayden Heaven and Tyrell Malacia."
""I'm really pleased, especially in the second half," said Amorim. "We suffer all together. You can say we defend well because we did not suffer a goal, but they had chances. You need luck sometimes. If we have always this spirit we are going to win so many games. I think it is something we need to feel. That we can win games with the spirit and togetherness.""
Manchester United fielded a makeshift team due to injuries and international call-ups. The team won 1-0 at Old Trafford thanks to a stunning strike from Patrick Dorgu. A back four was used for the first time since the manager's arrival, with a defence of Leny Yoro, Tyler Fredricson, Ayden Heaven and Tyrell Malacia holding out under heavy second-half pressure. The victory produced the club's second clean sheet of the season and was the first Premier League win without Bruno Fernandes since March 2022. Players showed desire, determination, spirit and togetherness. Tactical flexibility and resilience proved decisive in adverse conditions.
