Newcastle 1-1 MU: Garnacho scores.

On the night of April 13th, Newcastle took the lead, but MU equalized in the 37th minute thanks to a goal from Garnacho.

In the 24th minute of the match at St James' Park, Newcastle launched an attack after Victor Lindelof and Manuel Ugarte lost possession in their own half. Alexander Isak delivered a perfectly timed pass to Sandro Tonali, who surged forward and finished decisively from close range, giving the home side the lead.

Manchester United conceded a goal at a time when they were playing evenly with a more in-form opponent. In the 12th minute, the visitors had a smooth combination play in the midfield. However, Joshua Zirkzee's powerful shot was brilliantly saved by Nick Pope.

Newcastle took advantage of the opportunity to take the lead.

The opening goal boosted Newcastle's morale. The Magpies completely controlled the midfield and put immense pressure on the opposing defense. In the 34th minute, Isak had two consecutive one-on-one opportunities with the goalkeeper. However, Bayindir made two good saves for the Red Devils.

Despite being under pressure, MU unexpectedly equalized. In the 25th minute, Ugarte's winning challenge sparked a counter-attack. Diogo Dalot surged down the right wing before passing to Alejandro Garnacho. The young number 17 unleashed a powerful shot that hit the post and bounced into the net, leaving goalkeeper Pope helpless.

In the away match at St James' Park, manager Ruben Amorim made several personnel changes. Andre Onana was not included in the squad after his poor performance in the European Cup. Altay Bayindir replaced the Cameroonian goalkeeper. This was the first time the former Fenerbahce star had started in the Premier League after almost two years at Manchester United.

Additionally, 18-year-old Harry Amass made his Premier League start, replacing Patrick Dorgu at left-back.

These adjustments suggest Amorim is focusing all his attention on the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Lyon next week. This is also the only competition that can salvage a disastrous season for the Old Trafford side.

In the first leg of this season, Newcastle beat MU 2-0. The Magpies are aiming for a double victory against the Red Devils in a single Premier League season, something unprecedented in the Premier League era.
