A mixed night for Man United

Ahead of Manchester United's trip to Newcastle, the travelling fans were hoping for a performance that wouldn't send them to sleep, as was the case in the 1-0 victory against Sheffield United in the FA Cup.

For the neutral, the game at St James Park was fantastic, but some United supporters will likely long for a boring 1-0 win, after they blew 2-0 and 3-2 leads, the second as a result of Newcastle's 90th-minute equaliser.

It was end-to-end, with United looking great on the attack and creating chances that should have seen them score five or six, as Louis van Gaal later said himself.
