Manchester United vs Newcastle United
22:00
It's all over and Manchester United sign off at Old Trafford for the season with a 3-2 win in an extremely entertaining clash. Mainoo put the hosts in front at the break but Gordon put Newcastle level early in the second half. Diallo's fine finish restored the lead for Man United and substitute Hojlund scored just 106 seconds after coming off the bench to seemingly put the game beyond doubt. But Hall's excellent strike for Newcastle - whose xG of 2.32 was better than the home side's 1.44 - in injury time ensured there were a few last-minute nerves. Ultimately, though, Man United held out and they are now eighth in the table, level on 57 points with Newcastle in seventh, albeit the Magpies have a significantly better goal difference.

21:48
Oooft for just one second it looked like Hojlund was going to beat Dubravka to a ball over the top but he seemed to pull out of the run a little bit and the goalkeeper clears.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:47
Amrabat has had a good game this evening but he's a little over-zealous with the shove in the back of Barnes and he goes into the book.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:46
Newcastle have had more than their fair share of chances in this one but the difference is Man United have taken their chances when they've come.

We're into the last 10 minutes of what has been an excellent game. Can Man United hold out or will Newcastle find a way back into it?

21:37
Another roll of the Newcastle dice from Howe here as Longstaff takes a seat to be replaced by Barnes.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:35
Sloppy play from Newcastle this time as Burn's header back towards Dubravka goes out of play despite the goalkeeper's rush to retrieve it. Fernandes' ball finds Casemiro but he can't quite direct his header goalwards.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:33
CLOSE AGAIN! A poor clearance from Onana is picked up by Newcastle and it's played to Gordon, who glides past Casemiro and delivers a dangerous ball across the face of goal where Almiron as only a few inches away from making contact. Another opportunity for Newcastle, another let-off for Man United.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:32
Gordon delivers a deep free-kick from the left toward Guimaraes at the far post but the Brazilian's knock-back is smothered by Onana.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:30
Joelinton has added some physicality to Newcastle, he's making a difference in this second half but his side still trail 2-1 to Manchester United.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:28
Gordon now gets a booking for a crude challenge on Diallo.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:28
ANOTHER BIG CHANCE FOR NEWCASTLE! This time Longstaff takes on Joelinton's throughball to go one-on-one with Onana, but the midfielder shoots straight at Onana! Shortly after, a deep delivery from the right finds Joelinton who rises high, heads towards goal and is denied by the Man United goalkeeper! Frantic stuff now!
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:26
Fernandes has been everywhere tonight, he takes a long pass in his stride and Burn sends it out for a corner. The Portugese again delivers to the near post, this time Newcastle get it out but Fernandes picks up the stray ball and swings a left-foot shot over the crossbar.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:24
Manchester United have lost nine matches at Old Trafford in all competitions this season; they have never suffered 10 home defeats in a single season before in their history.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:24
And Trippier goes off to be replaced by Schar.

Almiron also enters the fray to replace Murphy, who set up Newcastle's goal.

21:22
Oooft another stinger from Diallo, Dubravka wasn't convincing as he parries his 25-yard stinger but does enough to keep it out.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:20
As a former Sunderland loanee, Diallo will have really enjoyed that one. And in truth it's just reward for what has been a very industrious performance from the winger. Can the home side keep hold of the lead this time?
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:18
Goal Amad Diallo Traoré
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:16
Gordon wins a free-kick out on the left flank, which he takes himself, but Onana does well to claim it and hold on.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:14
There was actually a quick check for handball from that aforementioned corner but Burn was extremely close to Diallo when his header hit the Man United forward. Nothing doing, rightly so.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:13
Wan-Bissaka gets away with one! He loses the ball in the opposition half and Newcastle counter at speed. Gordon slips in Isak, who takes too long to get his shot away and Ambrabat makes a brilliant recovery block on the slide tackle! You would have banked on Isak scoring that. The resulting corner comes to nothing, too.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:12
Man United do look to respond and Garnacho wins a corner. Fernandes plays it short, gets the return pass from McTominay and stings the palms of Dubravka with a low drive.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:11
So how will that change the dynamic of this game? Man United fully deserved their lead but since then it's mainly been Newcastle creating the better chances. Can the home side respond?
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:09
Assist Jacob Kai Murphy
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:08
Goal Anthony Michael Gordon
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:08
It's Newcastle again asking the questions. Gordon has an effort blocked by Casemiro and Anderson gets it all wrong on the follow up, bending high and wide of the right post. Man United keep giving the ball away cheaply, if that continues they will be punished.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:06
Similar to the first half, Man United are sloppy at the start of the second period as Amad is dispossed by Bruno. He gets a return pass from Isak and his shot is saved by Onana, who appeared a little unsighted.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
21:05
Referee Jones blows his whistle and we are back underway here!
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:53
The xG for both teams suggests it's about a fair reflection of the game so far with Man United's 1.13 bettering Newcastle's 0.46. Can the visitors find a way back into this or will Ten Hag see his side pick up three points on their final home game?
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:52
So, we head into the break with Man United leading Newcastle 1-0. After soaking up some early pressure from the visitors, it was Mainoo who calmly finished after good work from Diallo. That seemed to spark Newcastle to life and the away side had a few opportunities to level - the best of which saw Burn have a header cleared brilliantly off the line by Casemiro.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:49
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 NEWCASTLE UNITED
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:48
This time the home side win the corner as a swift break started by Fernades results in Diallo trying to pick out McTominay, who has a shot blocked. It's taken short and Diallo and Mainoo almost work a brilliant opening until Murphy makes a desperate challenge.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:46
Gordon gets past Amrabat on the left-hand side this time and Wan Bissaka comes across to concede the corner. This time it's a little overhit, and the fourth official signals three minutes of added time.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:45
Relentless pressure from Newcastle! Trippier wins another corner as Amrabat this time makes the clearance but shortly after Trippier wins another corner after a stunning pass from Gordon. This time the England right-back picks out a free Guimaraes, who completely unmarked in the area heads wide of the left post! That was another great chance for the visitors.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:43
Murphy can't quite get around Dalot on the right wing but does win Newcastle a corner. Trippier takes it and McTominay heads it away easily.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:42
There's a brief break in play as Casemiro receives treatment. On the sidelines, the returning Martinez gets a warm reception from the Old Trafford faithful as he warms up on the touchline.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:40
When Man United scored you have to say they probably deserved the lead in truth. Since then, though, they've had a couple of big opportunities - there's plenty of life in this one.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:38
Yellow Card Elliot Anderson
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:38
HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN?! Newcastle think they've equalised again. Murphy's deep cross from the right is met by the giant frame of Burn, who nods towards the goal. It looks for all the world like it's going in but Casemiro clears brilliantly off the line!
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:37
Amrabat...what are you doing? He sloppily gives the ball away around 20 yards from goal, Gordon thinks he's going through one-on-one and Casemiro does brilliantly on the cover to hook the ball to safety. Newcastle want a penalty for this one, but it was deemed Ambrabat did not clip his heel when scrambling to get back.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:36
CLOSE! A rocking Old Trafford is almost immediately silenced as Longstaff is picked out on the right of the box. He drills a shot-cross across the face of goal, all it needed was a tap-in but there was no one there for Newcastle. A let off for Man United there.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:34
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! THE HOME SIDE HAVE THE LEAD! The initial break came from Wan Bissaka but McTominay was crowded out. It's recycled by Diallo, whose pass somehow squirms all the way into the path of Mainoo, who is left wide open on the penalty spot. At first glance he looked offside but Trippier is playing him well one. Manchester United lead 1-0!
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:34
Assist Amad Diallo Traoré
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:30
Gordon threatens for Newcastle and wins a corner off Wan Bissaka. Trippier sends it over, again looking for Burn, but nothing comes of it.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:29
Ooooh should he score? Garnacho links up well with Fernandes and goes through one-on-one down the left but he can't lift it over Dubravka. From the resulting corner, Diallo volleys over the top.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:28
Clever play from Isak gives Newcastle a chance to deliver from the left but Anderson is denied. Guimaraes also has a shot that is blocked.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:24
Fernandes is playing as a false nine for Man United tonight and he has been at the heart of everything good for the Red Devils. They look much more a threat with him in the side.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:23
Newcastle have stagnated a little since that promising early start but Hall does test Onana with a low drive from distance.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:22
Newcastle have already beaten Manchester United twice in all competitions this season, including a 3-0 win at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup. The last team to win three games against the Red Devils in a campaign were Chelsea in 2012-13, while the Blues were also the last team to beat them twice away from home in a season (2004-05).
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:22
Casemiro plays a nice ball over the top to Mainoo, who finds Garnacho. He's hounded out but Dalot picks up the stray ball and wins a corner for his team. Fernandes delivers and Diallo meets it but it's blocked.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:17
More good from Man United as Diallo lets fly from 25 yards and Dubravka has to parry. Eventually they win a corner, taken by Fernandes, that finds Garnacho on the left of the area but his effort is weak and dragged past the right post.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:17
Another good spell from the home side sees Wan Bissaka cross from the right towards McTominay, who gets up high but can't get enough purchase on his header and it's a simple one for Dubravka.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:13
The home side are just starting to step it up a little bit, they look a bit more composed and are starting to ask some questions. You sense the first goal in this one is going to go a long way to determining the outcome of the result.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:11
Ooooft chance! Fernandes crosses a free-kick into the area that former Man United loanee Dubravka punches clear. Amrabat heads it back into the area and Casemiro on the overhead kick puts it just over. Finally signs of life from the home side.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:09
Newcastle win the first corner of the evening and Trippier delivers to Burn, who nods it back into the danger area but it ends up being cleared.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:08
Newcastle are enjoying a spell with the ball as the home side struggle to get involved in the game. Man United have been very sloppy in possession in the early stages of this one.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:06
Casemiro has come in for a lot of flak lately a loose pass in the middle of the park gives Newcastle the chance to break. Some desperate defending in the end from Amrabat quells the danger.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:04
Another warning sign from Newcastle as Iask drives towards the area from the right channel. He swings a left foot at it and the it goes wide of the right post but Newcastle are already looking the more energised here.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:02
Newcastle threaten inside 30 seconds with a cross into the box from Krath, but the hosts soak up the danger.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
20:02
Referee Rob Jones blows his whistle and we are underway at Old Trafford!
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
19:38
Ten Hag makes just the one change, then, with captain Fernandes back into the XI in the place of Hojlund. Rashford and Martinez are back on the bench. Newcastle also note just the one change as Trippier starts for the first time since March 2 in place of Livramento. Isak came off ill in the 1-1 draw with Brighton last time out but is fit to start.

Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of this Premier League fixture between Manchester United and Newcastle United at Old Trafford!
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
19:30
Tonight's fixture is all about firming up places in Europe next season and it's all a little messy, so let's try and break it down. Manchester United can still take the one remaining Europa League spot by winning the FA Cup, which would mean the team finishing sixth - which is currently Newcastle - would go into the Europa Conference League. If, however, Man United lose to Manchester City in the FA Cup final then the team finishing sixth goes into the Europa League and the Europa Conference League berth goes to the team in seventh, which is currently Chelsea. To make things more complicated, Newcastle and Chelsea can still overhaul Tottenham to take fifth - a spot that guarantees Europa League football - though Spurs place Sheffield United on the last day. Okay, all clear? Probably not, but just trust the fact this one is about European football permuations...
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
19:30
Newcastle, meanwhile, are finishing the campaign pretty strongly. Eddie Howe's men have lost just once in their past six, winning four of those and drawing their last fixture 1-1 with Brighton. You'd have to say they probably start this one as slight favourites.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United
19:30
Once rivals for title glory in the 1990s, this fixture remains a popular one even if the sting has been taken off it by the hosts' poor form. The Red Devils have just one win in their past eight top-flight matches to crank the pressure up on boss Erik ten Hag, especially with the Jim Radcliffe revolution in full swing.
