Newcastle United Hit by Setback Ahead of Premier League Clash with Manchester United
The Magpies face a major setback ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United due to a key absence.
As it happened
Newcastle are unchanged from the side that started last Monday's 3-0 win at Leicester City in the Premier League.
Andre Onana was dropped from the squad and did not feature, with Altay Bayindir starting in his place.
Newcastle got on the front foot, scoring the opening goal from Sandro Tonali's crisp volley in the 24th minute.

However, Manchester United scored the equaliser just before halftime from Alejandro Garnacho’s effort.
The second half was a different ball game as Newcastle trooped out to cause havoc in United’s defence.
Two quick goals from Harvey Barnes and another from Bruno Guimarães gave the host a three-goal cushion, leaving Ruben Amorim’s team disorganised.
Newcastle dominated until the final whistle and earned an important three points in their bid to make the Champions League next season.
