Last night, it was good news at Old Trafford after Patrick Dorgu hit his first goal, which gave the Red Devils their win against Newcastle, pushing them to the fifth position of the table.
In the absence of their key players, Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo, who are participating in the Africa Cup of Nations for their countries, as well as their captain, Bruno Fernandes, who got an injury during the Aston Villa game, Ruben Amorim had to change his style of play to look. For victory
The Danish international connected sweetly with a looping ball on his left foot for the only goal to compound Newcastle’s miserable away form despite the visitors dominating the second half.

Furthermore, a first home win in two months takes United level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea, while Newcastle remains down in 11th in the table.
Amorim responded to the loss of Fernandes by finally switching from his preferred 3-4-3 system to a back four, with Dorgu thrust into a more attacking role on the right side of a three behind Benjamin Sesko up front.
Dorgu duly delivered his first goal for United since joining from Lecce nearly a year ago. Diogo Dalot’s cross was cleared high into the air before the 21-year-old volleyed past Aaron Ramsdale at 24 minutes.
In conclusion, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe himself made an early formation change to adapt to a fast start from United. But Howe has struggled all season for answers to the Magpies’ woeful form on the road.
