Before the match, Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, celebrated by scoring 700 goals for the club.
Ronaldo was then left goalless and substituted, clearly showing his displeasure.
– Niklas Holmgren says on Viasat that he is not satisfied.
From the great Swedish meeting when Manchester United And Newcastle met came to nothing.
Emil Kraft is injured for a long time and Victor Nelson Lindelof and Anthony Ilanga both remained on the bench throughout the match.
So in focus – as is often the case: Cristiano Ronaldo.
Before kick-off, Manchester United legend Alex Ferguson paid tribute to the 37-year-old as the Portuguese has now scored 700 goals in his various teams during his career.
Ronaldo also had the opportunity from the start for the second match in a row, but scoring opportunities were rare for Manchester United in the first 45 minutes at Old Trafford.
Hottest situation? Double situation where Newcastle’s Joelinton nodded first at the crossbar and then nodded back at the post.
In the 72nd minute, Manchester United coach Eric Ten Hag knocked Ronaldo off the field and replaced Marcus Rashford.
The Portuguese was clearly disappointed by the change and both shook their heads and muttered in close-up on their way off the pitch.
Ronaldo sat indignant among the benches and continued to ostensibly shake his head, most likely after being substituted.
– Visa commentator Niklas Holmgren says he is not satisfied.
– Ronaldo was completely anonymous, did not participate much in the game. United have searched the edges with Anthony and Sancho and Ronaldo has become a bit isolated, says health expert Jonas Olsson.
Substitute Rashford created a great opportunity for Fred in the closing minutes after Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope missed a tackle but the brass goalkeeper saved wide.
Even Rashford himself had a great opportunity in overtime but with a long header and the match ended 0-0.
