End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL TIME
Dubrvaka makes a crucial save to deny Carrick from point-blank range... and that's that!
It's all over, Newcastle take all three points! It's their first win at home in almost FOUR months! It's a setback for Manchester United, but what an afternoon for Rafa Benitez's side.
90'+4
Newcastle clear and then launch a long ball which Joselu can run onto, but Young chases back to retrieve possession.
90'+3
Newcastle defend the set-piece but there is little respite as Sanchez forces yet another corner...
90'+2
Corner to Manchester United... will this be their final opportunity?
90'
FOUR minutes shall be added on!
89'
Into the final minute of normal time and yet Man United still don't look like scoring. 50,000 home supporters are singing their hearts out, they know their side are on the cusp of a famous victory.
87'
Valencia's foot is high and catches Atsu who looks in some pain, but somehow the Man United man escapes a booking.
86'
What an afternoon Shelvey has had in Newcastle's midfield. He has chased every ball down, made numerous challenges and provided a threat in attack. Possibly his best performance for some time.
85'
Into the final five minutes of normal time and still Newcastle lead. There haven't been too many stoppages so it's hard to imagine a lengthy period of additional time will be played.
83'
Christian Atsu replaces Kenedy in Newcastle's midfield. The Chelsea loanee has been guilty of conceding possession a number of times in the second period and is clearly tiring. Rafa isn't taking any chances.

OFF THE LINE!
Chaos inside the Newcastle penalty box as the hosts fail to clear the corner... it falls perfectly for Martial but his shot is blocked on the line!

Lukaku delivers a really dangerous cross but Newcastle clear for a corner... and survive for now.
73'
Man United have few options on the bench in an attacking sense. It's in games like this you would like Rashford to come on.
72'
Newcastle winning every second ball at the moment. But there is a long way to go. The last 20 minutes will feel like an age for every home supporter.
69'
Into the final 20 minutes. Man United are probing, there are 21 players inside the home side's half but Newcastle are defending well.
68'
66'
Juan Mata and Michael Carrick are on for Man United as Mourinho looks for an immediate response from his side. Pogba has been fairly anonymous and goes off, along with Lingard.
