Manchester United fans finally had something to cheer at Old Trafford as the Red Devils ended a two-month Premier League home-win drought with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Newcastle.
The tense Boxing Day encounter , previewed earlier by SoftFootball , was settled by Patrick Dorgu's superb first-half volley from a Casemiro cross. It was the Danish left back's first goal since arriving in the summer, and it proved decisive in a game short on fluency but rich in effort.
The result, which SoftFootball later described as a narrow but important win, lifted United back into fifth place and sparked lively debate online. While the performance divided opinion, most supporters agreed the three points mattered more than style.
