New Premier League supercomputer predicts Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham final points and positions after 1-0 Newcastle win

Manchester United got back to winning ways on Friday night with a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at Old Trafford

Manchester United bounced back from their defeat to Aston Villa last weekend to beat Newcastle United 1-0 at Old Trafford on Friday night in the Premier League’s only Boxing Day fixture this year.

Patrick Dorgu fired in the only goal of the game as he produced a superb volley after Nick Woltemade’s header fell into his path. The defender still had plenty to do to find the back of the net as he shone after being played on the wing by Ruben Amorim.

"It was a good hit. I didn't know I could do that [laughs]. It was amazing to score my first goal in this stadium,” said the former Lecce star.

"I took what [Ruben Amorim] told me, to work on my confidence. I think I did well today. I just looked at the ball and saw it drop and hit it.

"I have been practising in training. I think that's what helped me."
