Manchester United were 1-0 winners against Newcastle on Friday night with a strong performance despite the long list of absentees.

Despite missing seven first-team players, it was a night to be proud of a young and make-shift Manchester United side, which managed to secure a 1-0 win against Newcastle.

It was a display which brought a new four at the back system and plenty of positives, with several United players shining in the victory.

United are now beginning to create separation in the league, entering conversations with Chelsea and Liverpool, with three very winnable matches in a row.

By winning these games, United could potentially be in the Champions League race, although it will be without eight star players, with Mason Mount joining the injury list.

“It’s the normal life of a player,” he said at his post-match press conference. Sometimes you are in [a] good moment, sometimes you struggle. Sometimes [it] depends on the team or the game. Maybe the game today, with a lot of transitions, is good for his pace, for his ability to drive the ball.

“He played one position [where] he can take more risk, that can help also a player like him to not feel that responsibility all the time. So, I think he did well.”

• Patrick Dorgu: 41 per cent
• Ayden Heaven: 28 per cent
• Lisandro Martinez: 15 per cent
• Senne Lammens: 7 per cent

The only difference was that it was less dominant by Dorgu, with Heaven getting plenty of credit after he received the Sky Sports award for player of the match, which Gary Neville played a hand in awarding.

Dorgu deserves serious credit, and he will have all eyes on another successful attacking outing against Wolves on Tuesday.
