After not scoring a goal in the Europa League (they only had three shots off), Manchester United have created danger again against Newcastle.
It was Andreas Pereira who broke this bad statistic with a shot that caused no problems for Dubravka, who saved it easily. Maguire, unmarked before the break, had the clearest head. But nothing came of it.
The 130 minutes without even testing the opponents' goalkeepers was the subject of debate in England, who are witnessing United's umpteenth project that they fail to get off the ground.
They have even signed its worst start in 30 years in the Premier League. "It must be the worst United in decades," Michael Owen said recently.
