Patrick Dorgu’s first goal for Manchester United proved decisive as the Red Devils beat Newcastle United 1-0 at Old Trafford on Boxing Day. The 21-year-old Danish defender scored a stunning volley in the 24th minute, capitalizing on a Diogo Dalot cross that was headed into the air by Nick Woltemade. Dorgu’s left-footed strike flew past Aaron Ramsdale, securing a vital win for Ruben Amorim’s depleted side, who were missing key players like Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo, and Amad Diallo.
Despite dominating possession in the second half, Newcastle failed to capitalize on numerous chances, with Lewis Hall hitting the bar and Anthony Gordon squandering a great opportunity. Manchester United’s win lifts them to fifth in the Premier League standings, while Newcastle remains 11th.
