Match Report
Marcus Rashford and Fred missed two late chances for Manchester United as Newcastle held on for a goalless draw at Old Trafford.
Fred missed an empty net in the 88th minute after Rashford had rounded Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope to set up the Brazil midfieler but he miscued his effort past the post following pressure from Fabian Schar.
Rashford, who had replaced Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portugal forward saw two second-half goals disallowed, then headed wide from Casemiro's cross in the 95th minute.
The visitors came closest to scoring in the first half when Joelinton hit the woodwork twice as he headed against the crossbar and then headed his rebound against the post.
The goalless draw leaves United fifth, three points off fourth-placed Chelsea, while Newcastle remain a point further back in sixth to extend their unbeaten run to five games.
