JOSE MOURINHO’S belief that Manchester United are a very different
SBOBET proposition with Paul Pogba in their line-up was demonstrated as the returning Frenchman played a key role in an emphatic win.
He scored one having, crucially, set up and equaliser for Anthony Martial before Chris Smalling and Romelu Lukaku weighed in.
There was even a late cameo sub appearance for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, returning after serious injury.
There was an air of enthusiasm around Old Trafford, pumped up by the return of Pogba after 12 games out with a hamstring injury but it took just 13 minutes for Rafa Benitez’s side to deflate that atmosphere.
Joselu sent right-back DeAndre Yedlin speeding away impressively down his wing. His cross might have been intercepted by Victor Lindelof only for the Swede to fall over in the area, allowing Dwight Gayle to meet it and score via the left-hand post.
It was a stunning development, and within minutes Newcastle
SBOBET might have stretched their advantage.
Winger Jacob Murphy broke upfield and cut in before shooting meekly at David De Gea and a magnificent pass from Jonjo Shelvey soon sent Murphy racing into the area once more only for the youngster to roll a shot wide.
United were rattled and limited in their attacking options, with a couple of long-range Marcus Rashford efforts and Lukaku half-chances their only glimpses of goal, until Pogba took control after 37 minutes.
He gathered a short pass from Antonio Valencia and cleverly beat Isaac Hayden before chipping a magnificent cross to the far post where Martial rose above Yedlin to head past the stranded Rob Elliot.
Then, after a corner had broken down, Ashley Young sent over a perfect
SBOBET cross which Smalling powered into the visitors’ goal.
