93'FT: Man Utd 4-1 Newcastle!! All over at Old Trafford and the hosts claim a deserved win, but Newcastle were not three goals worst. Ronaldo scored on HT after a GK howler. Manquillo levelled for Newcastle in the second half, but Ronaldo scored again with help from the keeper and then Fernandes netted a stunner before Lingard scored right at the death. Ronaldo scores two on his debut and he's obviously delighted. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
