      Second half goals from Joe Willock and Callum Wilson condemned United to their latest disappointment in the Premier League.
      It was a miserable afternoon all-round for United, with many fans questioning Erik ten Hag’s decision to leave out Fred.
      And tensions threatened to boil over as Lisandro Martinez was spotted punching the dug-out after he was substituted off.
      Ten Hag was also involved in a touchline spat with his counterpart Eddie Howe and the Toon coaching staff late on as he complained about Newcastle’s time-wasting.

      And winger Murphy, 28, soon spotted the camera and jokingly started pointing at an imaginary watch on his wrist as he mocked the United moans.
      After seeing the clip, one delighted Twitter user demanded: “Give him the keys to the city.”

      Erik ten Hag had David de Gea to thank for his charges not trailing at the half-time interval as the Spaniard made an incredible double save in the 15th minute to deny Alexander Isak and Joe Willock.
      But the Magpies broke the deadlock in the 64th minute through Willock, who headed home from inside the six-yard box to send the St James’ Park faithful into raptures. More

      Many argue that Hall actually punched Davies in the ribs during his celebration.
      Some fans took to Twitter to complain as they insist the striker should have been sent off with a straight red.
      They also praised Davies’ toughness as the defender didn’t go down or dive to simulate a red card.

      And after catching wind of SunSport’s combined greatest Gunners XI, picked by ChatGPT, Morgan has named his own.
      Gooner Piers opted to deploy a traditional 4-4-2 formation for his dream XI.
      Up front, he, unsurprisingly, picked club icons Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry.
      Robert Pires and current Emirates hero Bukayo Saka occupied the wings, filling the left and right flanks respectively.

      While club legend Patrick Vieira anchors Morgan’s midfield along with fellow Frenchman Emmanuel Petit.
      But it’s at the back where Piers did not leave fellow fans convinced.
      He named former England defender David Seaman in goal, behind a back four of Lee Dixon, Tony Adams, David O’Leary and… Oleksandr Zinchenko.
      While the majority of the Emirates faithful were in agreement with the rest of Piers’ selections, many took umbrage at his selection of Zinchenko ahead of Ashley Cole.
