Manchester United were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle United at the St James Park in an English Premier League game.

Matt Ritchie scored the winner after 65 minutes - his first Premier League goal of the season - after Dwight Gayle's clever lay-off found him in plenty of space to slot past David de Gea.

Anthony Martial had Man Utd's best chances but he was denied by debutant goalkeeper Martin Dubravka in the first half and then saw two shots blocked on the line in quick succession in the 77th minute.

Alexis Sanchez also saw an effort blocked after taking the ball past Dubravka.
