Nearly a great ball...
Greenwood plays a lovely crossfield ball into the area but it is just too far in front of Ronaldo.
15'
Lucky escape...
Shelvey is played a ball on the edge of his area by his keeper and McTominay shuts him down quickly but the ricochet fortunately for the home side runs to safety.
12'
Saint-Maximin played a fine cross-field ball to Fraser and he laid a ball square to Jeolinton who curled his effort just wide of the target.
11'
Lucky escape...
A fine challenge on the edge of the box from McTominay gives Rashford a chance to slide in Ronaldo but he muffed his pass.

GOAL FOR NEWCASTLE!
Fantastic goal from Saint-Maximin. He cut in from the left flank beating Dalot and Maguire before on the stretch slipping an effort just inside the far post.

Manchester United get us underway...
19:55
The players are on the pitch and we are about ready to go..
19:47
The Red Devils can be backed at a skinny-looking 1/2, with the draw at 4/1 and a home win at bigger than 5/1.
19:39
Lindelof is not in the United squad...
due to testing positive to Covid-19 yesterday. The other change sees Greenwood start over Sancho, who is on the bench.
19:32
Greenwood makes his first league start under Rangnick...
Presumably this will be on the right hand side of a forward three, with Ronaldo the spearhead and Rashford on the left.
19:22
Six changes for Magpies...
After the 4-0 home reverse to Manchester City, Manquillo, Schaer, Krafth, Shelvey, Longstaff and Saint-Maximin come into the side with Murphy, Clark, Ritchie, Almiron, Willock and Hayden dropping.
19:13
Varane is back...
The big team news is the French centre back returns after missing nearly eight weeks of action since injuring his hamstring against Atalanta in the Champion's League.
19:03
This is the side Ralf Rangnick has selected to take the field in a little under an hour.
19:01
This is how the Magpies will line up...
