On Sunday in the Premier League, Manchester United and Newcastle United drew 0-0 at Old Trafford.
Both sides’ positions in the league standings have not changed as a result of the exciting goalless draw.
The finest opportunity for the Magpies came from Joelinton, whose first header struck the crossbar and then struck the post from the rebound.
Cristiano Ronaldo received a booking for venting his anger following uncertainty about the taking of a free kick, which led him to believe he had scored the game’s first goal.
Marcus Rashford then headed wide from six yards in stoppage time after Fred had squandered an opportunity to score late.
As Man United played out their first tie under Erik ten Hag, the points were split.
Kieran Trippier posted on his official twitter page reacting to the game.
“Great to come away with a clean sheet away from home!
Shows just how far we’ve come as a team, lets keep it going! @nufc,” he said.
Both Managers also reacted to Cristiano Ronaldo’s disallowed goal.
Newcastle manager, Eddie Howe said:
“It was clear Fabian wasn’t taking the kick and he was allowing Nick to do it. Nick was waiting to deliver the free-kick. That would be a very, very difficult decision to swallow.”
Manchester United manager, Erik Ten Hag stated that he had no comment.
“I don’t have a comment. Everyone has seen it,” he said.
Ten Hag also gave his thoughts on the game as he stated that in the end, Manchester United deserved the win.
He said;
“The performance was good, a clean sheet, we pressed well, we controlled the game and in stages we were good on the ball – especially in the second half.
“Then, we dictated the game and in the end we could – we should – have score the winning goal. One from Fred, and then Rashford had to score.
“In the end we could have got the win, we deserved the win, and it is a big compliment to the team that we deserved this with a physical performance against one of the most physical teams in the league.
“The team understands from front to back we cooperate together. We are hard to beat and we must keep that going.”
Newcastle boss, Howe also gave his thoughts on the game. He stated that they were good in the first half but lost their way in the second half.
“Especially in the first half I thought we were very good. Joelinton had the two chances when he hit the woodwork, we could potentially have had a penalty for the challenge on Callum Wilson.
“We lost our way really in the second half and I’m glad the full time whistle has gone.”
“The Rashford header is a big moment. We did really well to contain them but that’s the one that possibly could have lost us the game but the players didn’t deserve that,” he said.
