MANCHESTER, Dec 27 — Ruben Amorim admitted Manchester United were lucky to beat Newcastle 1-0 on Friday but praised his under-strength side for holding on in a tough second half.

Patrick Dorgu scored his first United goal, securing the team’s first home win in two months despite Newcastle dominating possession. “We had to suffer all together in the stadium,” Amorim said.

The win lifts United to fifth, level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea, while Newcastle’s European hopes fade due to poor away form. — AFP
