With Bruno Fernandes absent, Lisandro Martinez wears the captain's armband for Manchester United. Sesko had the first chance of the match, but his left-footed shot after turning was inaccurate. Shortly afterwards, Newcastle responded with a close-range header from Bruno Guimaraes that nearly resulted in a goal. In the 24th minute, following a powerful throw-in from Dalot, Woltemade headed the ball away, right into the path of Dorgu's volley. The Danish player scored a beautiful goal with his left foot. Dorgu was Manchester United's most outstanding player in the first half, playing on the right wing. The first 45 minutes ended with a 1-0 lead for MU. In the second half, Newcastle continuously launched high balls into the MU penalty area. In a rare counter-attack, Sesko unleashed a powerful left-footed shot that hit the crossbar. Newcastle responded with a shot from Lewis Hall hitting the crossbar. Dalot had a chance to sneak in and shoot over the crossbar, but it was incredibly unfortunate. As time went on, the Red Devils' goal was constantly under threat. Miley's shot in the 87th minute went wide of the goal. A courageous victory for MU.
