Newcastle find positives in dull 0-0 draw with Manchester United
MANCHESTER: It was dull, dour and dreary at Old Trafford — but just what the doctor ordered for Newcastle United. This was billed as one of the more watchable Premier League encounters on a busy Sunday, pitching 5th against 6th, with two of the form outfits in the top flight doing battle. It turned out to be no advert for football as Eddie Howe’s Magpies frustrated the life out of Manchester United in a 0-0 stalemate, restricting the home side to just speculative efforts and a smattering of late openings to dent the Red Devils’ top four ambitions, and strengthen their own European dreams.
