90'+7'

That's all for now though, goodbye!

90'+7'

The result means that Newcastle drop to 11th in the formative table, while Man Utd climb up to 14th.

90'+7'

Manchester United grab an important 4-1 victory over Newcastle with a late flurry of goals. Newcastle started brightly and took the lead early on when Krafth's cross was turned in for an own goal by Shaw. However, after this Newcastle retreated into their own half and offered little for the rest of the game. Manchester Utd quickly took over and found an equaliser through Maguire, but they had to wait until the final minutes to take the lead. First, Fernandes made it 2-1 to atone for his earlier penalty miss, before Wan-Bissaka and Rashford added gloss to the scoreline in stoppage time.

90'+7'

FULL-TIME: Newcastle United 1-4 Manchester United

90'+6'

Fernandes may have made this a stressful day for Manchester Utd with his penalty miss, but he's made up for that with a critical late goal and assist!

90'+6'

RASHFORD MAKES IT FOUR! 4-1! Manchester Utd are running away with this now as Fernandes releases Rashford with a brilliant throughball and the striker darts past Lascelles before curling a neat finish beyond Darlow when he found himself one-on-one!

90'+4'

Man Utd are looking full of confidence finally as Fernandes gallops forward before lashing a shot just wide from 20 yards.

90'+2'

Mata makes way for Matic after a lively display in attack for the away side.

90'+1'

Five minutes of stoppage time are added.

90'

It's another assist for Rashford, who's shown wonderful composure to set up these two crucial late goals for the away side.

90'

WAN-BISSAKA SEALS IT! 3-1! Newcastle wearily push forward and lose possession allowing Wan-Bissaka to charge forward and the full-back plays a rapid one-two with Rashford before closing in on goal and smashing a vicious effort past Darlow at the near post!

88'

Almiron comes on for Hendrick as Newcastle try and pick themselves up to find an equaliser.

86'

Rashford could have easily taken a difficult shot on himself then, but he selflessly opted to thread Fernandes through on goal and the attacker took full advantage!

86'

FERNANDES GIVES MANCHESTER UNITED THE LEAD! 2-1! The away side hit Newcastle with a classic counter-attack as Mata releases Rashford down the wing with a sweeping pass, allowing the attacker to cut inside, before slipping a deft reverse pass through to Fernandes who hits a curling effort from close range over Darlow and into the top corner!

84'

Fraser manages to work his way towards the byline for the hosts and he dinks in an inviting cross, but no Newcastle player is on hand to attack it.

82'

Newcastle are sitting deeper than ever to protect their point and the away side are finding it difficult to make any incisive passes through their defence.

80'

Maguire drives out of the backline and approaches the backtracking Newcastle midfield before drilling a shot from 25 yards that drifts a few yards wide.

78'

Fernandes scoops a deft flick into the path of Pogba in the penalty area, but Fernandez brilliantly tracks his run and the defender stretches to nod the throughball out the box.

76'

James makes way for van de Beek as Man Utd continue to throw everything at finding an equaliser.

74'

Man Utd still look likelier to find a winner right now, but Newcastle do look threatening on the break. The away side will be petrified of Saint-Maximin finding any space to run into in the closing stages.

73'

Joelinton is replaced by Fraser after a tireless display up top.

71'

Shaw surges up from left-back and gets to the edge of the box before wastefully hitting a tame effort that Darlow easily scoops up.

69'

Shelvey finds a pocket of space 25 yards from goal and he elects to hit a swerving shot that De Gea cautiously pushes away from harm.

69'

Pogba replaces Fred in midfield for the away side.

67'

Brilliant save again from Darlow! Rashford breaks the offside trap and he's clean through on goal, but Darlow anticipates the danger and rushes instantly off his line to smother the attacker's shot! The linesman may have raised his flag afterwards, but replays show that Rashford was onside and it would have counted if Darlow didn't make an inspired intervention.

66'

Manchester Utd will be fuming that they aren't leading currently; the away side have generated 19 shots to Newcastle's five, yet they still find themselves chasing a winner.

66'

Krafth is booked for a cynical challenge on James.

64'

Newcastle take a rare chance to break out of their half and they work it out towards Shelvey on the right-wing who whips in a devious cross. However, there are no attackers ready to challenge for it in the middle and Man Utd clear.

62'

Fernandes looks to quickly make amends for the penalty miss by driving a rasping effort at goal from 25 yards, but it's straight at Darlow who comfortably gathers it.

60'

Maguire has a header cleared off the line! Newcastle are living dangerously right now as they fail to defend another corner, allowing Maguire to thump another header beyond Darlow. This time, however, Schar is there on the line to hack it away.

58'

Darlow saves it! Fernandes steps up confidently and hits it firmly down the left but Darlow guesses correctly and leaps across to block it away to safety!

57'

Penalty to Manchester United! Rashford goes down under a weak challenge from Lewis just inside the box and the referee initially waves play on. However, VAR comes back to check the incident and after a lengthy delay a penalty is awarded!

53'

Fred lets fly from 25 yards but it drifts comfortably wide.

51'

Stunning save from De Gea! Saint-Maximin torments McTominay and Wan-Bissaka before dinking in a delightful cross towards Wilson who stretches to poke it goalwards from close range, however, De Gea scrambles across to claw it back off the line and away from harm!

45'+4'

Newcastle will be pleased to be drawing at the break, but if they're to get anything from this game they'll need to push Man Utd back in the second half.

50'

Wan-Bissaka bursts down towards the byline before cutting it back to Fernandes who lashes a wild shot well over the bar.

45'+4'

The teams go in level at 1-1 after Newcastle grabbed a surprising early lead. The hosts started brightly and quickly got themselves ahead when Shaw turned Krafth's cross into his own net. From then onwards, though, Man Utd dominated the game and after a long period of pressure they equalised through Maguire's towering header.

49'

Hayden's unable to run the injury off and he's replaced by Schar

49'

HALF-TIME: Newcastle United 1-1 Manchester United

48'

Hayden is immediately down injured after colliding with Rashford in the air, but it looks as though he'll be okay to continue.

45'+2'

McTominay wrestles Hendrick off the ball, before feeding it into James who drives 20 yards before shaping a shot from the edge of the box that disappointingly rolls straight at Darlow.

46'

Newcastle get the second half underway.

45'

Three minutes of stoppage time are added.

43'

Rashford hammers a shot from 25 yards and it bobbles ominously before reaching Darlow, who does well to palm it away from any attackers.

41'

Man Utd continue to push for a second goal, but their latest move ends with Wilson tracking back diligently to rob Fernandes and clear it away.

39'

Rashford is down after that chance with a lower leg injury, but - after a brief pause for treatment - it looks as though he'll be able to continue.

37'

James is booked for a vicious late tackle on Saint-Maximin that could easily have resulted in a red card.

36'

Darlow makes another fine save! James threads a neat pass towards Wan-Bissaka who hits a first time cross that spins towards the far post, where Darlow is on hand to tip it over the bar!

36'

Rashford has one cleared off the line! Man Utd threaten from another corner as Darlow charges out to punch the delivery again, but this time the goalkeeper can only clear it as far as Rashford who pokes it back towards goal, where Lascelles is on hand to hack it away before it crosses the line.

35'

Mata arcs another dangerous corner towards Maguire, but this time Darlow sails through a sea of bodies to punch it clear.

33'

Newcastle have shown a little more ambition since conceding that equaliser - mainly by feeding Saint-Maximin. Nevertheless, if the game continues in the same pattern it looks as though Man Utd will find the next goal.

31'

Strong save from De Gea! Saint-Maximin slaloms inside from the left-wing before rifling a shot from 20 yards that arrows towards the near post, before De Gea leaps across to parry it away! The goalkeeper did crash into the post in his follow-through, but it looks as though he isn't too badly hurt.

29'

Rashford engineers just enough space to fashion a shot from 18 yards, but it dribbles tamely along the floor and straight into Darlow's grasp.

27'

The away side push forward confidently again, but this time the move breaks down as Fernandes mistimes a pass towards Mata.

25'

Man Utd will be relieved to be level so soon; the longer that stayed at 1-0, the deeper Newcastle would have dropped to cling onto three points.

23'

It was Mata's delivery that helped bring the away side level, but that goal was made possible mainly, by Maguire's aerial prowess in the box!

23'

MANCHESTER UTD EQUALISE! 1-1! It's a big moment for Maguire, who leaps over the top of Fernandez from a corner, before powering a fierce header across Darlow and into the net!

22'

Newcastle make a rare foray forward that culminates with Lewis swinging in a cross towards Shelvey who hooks an awkward effort straight at De Gea.

18'

Rashford cuts inside from the left flank before rampaging into the penalty area and drilling a low effort a few yards wide of the near post.

16'

Shaw cynically halts a counter-attack from Saint-Maximin, but the referee surprisingly opts not to book the defender.

14'

James scurries into the area before cutting it back to Rashford who hits a deflected effort comfortably over the bar.

12'

Saint-Maximin attempts to relieve the pressure by shimmying through the Man Utd midfield and he gets past a few of them, before finally surrendering possession to McTominay.

10'

Manchester United have at least settled well since conceding early; they haven't panicked and they're enjoying plenty of possession in the final third as they attempt to break Newcastle down.

8'

If Man Utd can't stage a comeback today, they'll earn themselves an unwanted record: they haven't lost back-to-back away games against Newcastle since 1987.

6'

Rashford and Fernandes combine neatly on the edge of the box, but Newcastle have plenty of numbers in the area and they force the attacker out wide before fending off the danger.

4'

Well, that's the ideal start for Newcastle! The hosts knew they'd be facing a highly motivated away side, but by opening the scoring so quickly they've given Man United's confidence another battering.

2'

NEWCASTLE TAKE THE LEAD! 1-0! Newcastle immediately hit the away side with a rapid counter-attack as Shelvey drives through the heart of the pitch before feeding Krafth on the right flank, who teases in a dangerous cross that flicks off Shaw and beyond De Gea!

1'

Man Utd get the first half underway.

-

The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick off is just seconds away!

-

Man Utd will need to improve in defence if they’re to get the three points today. They’ve shipped 11 Premier League goals so far this season, with only West Bromwich Albion (13) conceding more. It’s the second most they have ever conceded three games into a league season, after the 1930-31 campaign.

-

By contrast, Man Utd overhaul their lineup by making by making five changes. Martial’s suspension means that James joins the attack; and in addition, Mata, McTominay, Fred and Lindelof are recalled. Most notably though, Pogba drops to the bench after a disappointing performance against Tottenham.

-

Newcastle make one change to the side that defeated Burnley 3-1 last time out; Schar drops to the bench with Fernandez taking his place in the heart of defence.

-

SUBS: Eric Bailly, Nemanja Matic, Donny van de Beek, Dean Henderson, Odion Ighalo, Paul Pogba, Alex Telles.

MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw; Scott McTominay, Fred; Juan Mata, Bruno Fernandes, Daniel James; Marcus Rashford.

-

The away side, meanwhile, have struggled so far. Man Utd have lost two of their first three games – including a 6-1 hammering against Tottenham – and they’ll be desperate to arrest their slide with victory today.

-

Hello and welcome to live commentary of this Premier League fixture between Newcastle United and Manchester United. The hosts have started well this season, winning two of their first four games and they’ll look to repeat their 1-0 victory over Man Utd at St James’ Park last season and solidify their top half spot.
