However, it was indeed the Magpies in a relegation position who received United. Despite the opening scoring of Allan Saint-Maximim, with a superb strike from the 7th minute, the two teams drew (1-1).

Thanks to a better second period, the Red Devils gradually returned to the game before equalizing through Edinson Cavani. Returning from injury after tendon irritation, the Uruguayan took advantage of an uninsured clearance by the Newcastle defense to deceive the opposing goalkeeper.
In the last moments of the game, David De Gea took on the role of savior with an exceptional save to allow his team to hold the point of the draw. This result leaves Manchester United in 7th place, in a 19th day of the league marked by a large number of canceled matches. Newcastle remain in the red zone two points from the first non-relegation (Watford), but with three games ahead.
