"Patrick Dorgu's first Manchester United goal sealed a narrow 1-0 victory over Newcastle United in the Premier League at Old Trafford. The wing-back scored a stunning volley in the 24th minute to ultimately secure all three points for Ruben Amorim's side, who were without the injured Bruno Fernandes. After Casemiro and Bruno Guimaraes went close with headers early on, Man United took the lead midway through the first half."
"Both sides struck the crossbar around the hour mark; Benjamin Sesko from a tight angle at one end, with Lewis Hall following suit from range at the other moments later. Diogo Dalot should have doubled the hosts' lead on 73 minutes, firing over while one-on-one with Ramsdale after latching onto Lisandro Martinez's diagonal ball into the box. Newcastle increased the pressure in the latter stages, but Anthony Gordon and Lewis Miley shot over as they left Old Trafford empty-handed, despite enjoying two-thirds of the possession."
"Data Debrief: No Bruno, no problem for Amorim Man Utd won a Premier League game in which Fernandes did not feature for the first time since a 3-2 win over Tottenham in March 2022, having lost each of their five previous such matches. This was also the first league match under Amorim that the Red Devils had started with a back four, and it proved crucial as they claimed just a second clean sheet of the campaign."
