Manchester United 0-0 Newcastle: Erik ten Hag's men are held to a goalless draw at Old Trafford as visitors are denied a first-half penalty and hit the post AND bar through Joelinton

Eddie Howe says Newcastle can be as big as Manchester United one day, but that isn’t the boast it once was.

The meeting between the fifth and sixth placed teams in the Premier League ended in a goalless draw at Old Trafford.

Certainly, Newcastle under Saudi ownership can no longer be dismissed as ‘a wee club in the north-east’, as Sir Alex Ferguson once disparagingly described them.

They arrived at Old Trafford breathing down United’s neck and hopeful of securing only their second win in 40 visits here stretching back to 1972.
