Patrick Dorgu’s first goal for Manchester United on Friday earned the Red Devils a 1-0 win over Newcastle to propel Ruben Amorim’s men up to fifth in the Premier League.
Shorn of captain Bruno Fernandes due to injury plus the absent Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo due to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Amorim’s change of role for Dorgu paid dividends.
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.
A first home win in two months takes United level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea, while Newcastle remain down in 11th.
