Miley needs his Flowers
Some would say Miley has got The Best of Both Worlds right now.
17-years-old, starting for his boyhood club, and thriving in midfield.
He’s done The Climb into the first team, and is playing with all the elegance of someone who has been at the top for years.
The young star is silky on the ball, and has great movement, but also acts as a Wrecking Ball alongside Bruno Guimaraes when needed.
He Can’t Be Tamed in that Magpies midfield, and future superstar Kobbie Mainoo couldn’t get close to him.
There will be no time for a Party In The U.S.A for this Miley, but we could see a Hoedown Throwdown celebration when he bags his first goal, which he was denied by Aaron Wan Bissaka today.

These are the full-time match stats between Newcastle and Manchester United, in a game that saw the hosts reach fifth spot in the Premier League table.
Newcastle dominated the game without a doubt, but a late flurry of chances for Manchester United almost saw them claw their way back into the game.
Man of the match
You could give the SunSport man of the match award to four or five of the Newcastle lads out there.
But we are going to give it to Kieran Trippier.
The England right back was sublime in attack and in defence today, and got the assist for Anthony Gordon’s winning goal.
Should he be starting for the Three Lions at EURO 2024?
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
FT. Full-time here, and Newcastle United take home all three points which will put them fifth in the Premier League table.
That’s three wins in a row for Newcastle United against Manchester United, thanks to Anthony Gordon’s winner!

Newcastle have a free kick in their own half which they will pump long.

He does so, but Lascelles gets up to clear.
Man Utd will come forwards again, and get themselves a free-kick on the left hand side.
Dubravka does well to claim.

90+4. Isak tries to escape, and is 1v3 with the Manchester United defence.
He goes down, and there are calls for a foul, but nothing given.

89. MAN UTD SCORE!
Oh no… It is offside.
Anthony strikes the ball following a Luke Shaw cross, it hits Harry Maguire and goes in, but the brutish centre-back is in an offside position.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
88. Hojlund does well to find a ball through to Garnacho but that is sensational defensive work by Kieran Trippier.
Finally a sign of threat from Man Utd, but could it be too little too late here?
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
86. Martin Dubravka is coming on for Nick Pope now, and we hope the English keeper gets well soon.
It is actually the Newcastle number one who is coming on.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
84. The referee has had to stop the game as Nick Pope has gone down injured.
He was diving to make a save and looks to have injured his shoulder in the process after Fabian Schar made a block.
Nick Pope looks like he will be replaced here.
The last thing Newcastle need is another injury…
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
82. Bruno Guimaraes is such a good footballer.
He has ran the show against Bruno Fernandes in midfield.
There is only room for one Bruno in this town…
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
80. Sergio Reguilon and Sofyan Amrabat are coming on for Manchester United.
They are replacing Kobbie Mainoo and Aaron Wan Bissaka.

78. So close for Lewis Miley!
The ball is cut back to the 17-year-old but Aaron Wan Bissaka makes an incredible block to deny him.
The Newcastle players are screaming handball but there is nothing wrong with that.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
77. Harry Maguire gets a yellow card for a foul on Anthony Gordon.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
75. Manchester United come forwards with Garnacho, but the Argentine youngster’s touch lets him down.

Trippier drives a ball towards Anthony Gordon but this time it goes straight out of play.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
68. Bruno Fernandes goes down after he gets his ankle stood on by Fabian Schar.
The medical team are coming on to give him some attention and probably some magic spray to try and remedy that.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
66. Garnacho and Hojlund combine, before the former wastes possession in the middle of the park.
Bruno Fernandes puts in a late challenge trying to win the ball back, and Newcastle have a free kick.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
64. They might be losing this one, but Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw have been sensational tonight for Man Utd.
It would be four or five if it wasn’t for those two…
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
60. Anthony and Rasmus Hojlund are ready to come on in place of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.
No ice cold Martial on display tonight, and disappointing from Rashford again…
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
58. Gordon tries to take on Wan Bissaka after netting his sixth of the season, but this time the right back does well to stop him.
Onana tries to make a pass out from the back, and hooks it out of play once again…
