scored his maiden goal for as the Red Devils secured a hard-fought 1–0 victory over in the.          Despite being hit by multiple absences, United showed resilience to claim all three points at Old Trafford.

With captain sidelined through injury and both Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo unavailable due to Africa Cup of Nations duty, manager was forced into tactical adjustments. Those changes proved decisive as United climbed to fifth place in the table, level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea.

Tactical Switch Pays Off

Amorim abandoned his preferred 3-4-3 system and opted for a back four, pushing Dorgu into a more advanced role on the right side. The Danish international made the most of his opportunity, showing composure and technique when it mattered most.

The breakthrough came in the 24th minute when Diogo Dalot’s cross was only partially cleared. The ball looped invitingly into the area, allowing Dorgu to strike a clean left-footed volley beyond goalkeeper .

United Hold Firm Under Pressure

Newcastle dominated possession after the interval and spent long spells camped inside United’s half. Manager altered his shape early on, but his side once again struggled to translate control into goals — a familiar problem away from home this season.

United’s task became even harder when Mason Mount failed to return for the second half. Teenager Jack Fletcher, son of former midfielder , was introduced, marking his first appearance at Old Trafford.

Missed Chances at Both Ends

Although pinned back for much of the second half, United still threatened on the counter. Benjamin Šeško rattled the crossbar from a tight angle, while Dalot fired over after being picked out by Lisandro Martínez.

Newcastle also came close to equalising. Lewis Hall struck the woodwork, while Anthony Gordon and Lewis Miley both missed clear opportunities, sending their efforts high over the bar.

Key Takeaways

• Dorgu’s goal was his first for Manchester United since joining from Lecce
• United recorded only their second clean sheet of the league season
• Newcastle remain 11th and continue to struggle in away fixtures
• United are now level on points with Chelsea in the race for the top four

Conclusion

In a match defined by discipline and defensive resolve, Manchester United did just enough to secure victory. Patrick Dorgu’s moment of quality proved decisive, rewarding Amorim’s tactical gamble and giving the Red Devils a timely boost in their push up the Premier League table. For Newcastle, another frustrating away outing dealt a blow to their hopes of returning to the Champions League next season.
