Premier League: Manchester United 0-0 Newcastle United

Manchester United are top of the Premier League. Who needs Pedro?

Not a stretch to imagine Barcelona wanting Herrera to replace Iniesta, yet he's wasted by Van Gaal. Severe lack of pace in the #mufc side.

What a KRUL week for #mufc

Rooney's gone 858 minutes of club football, in all competitions, without scoring a goal. That's a mighty concern.

Tantric football from United. All rousing buildup, no finish. #mufc

I am under the slight impression that Manchester United needs a proper forward.

Mata is lovely to watch, but he's slower than Mass.

FT: Manchester United 0-0 Newcastle United

And Newcastle are inches away from taking a shock lead.

Woodwork saves Newcastle.

What a save from Krul to stop Hernandez in a one-on-one situation.

Mata hits a volley but it hits his own teammate Memphis.

Matteo Darmian first half in numbers: - 20 Passes - 100% Pass Accuracy - 2 Tackles Won. #MUFC

HT: #MUFC 0-0 #NUFC. The hosts started off very well, but Newcastle had their own chances towards the end of the half.
— Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) August 22, 2015

Mitrovic's header hits the crossbar.

Haidara now gets into the referee's book for a foul on Blind.

Yellow for Darmian.

Great save from Krul at the near post to deny Mata.

Mata gets the shot on target but Krul catches the ball with ease.

Free-kick for Manchester United in a dangerous position.

Rooney started very well for @ManUtd so far. Playing higher up the pitch and linking up well with the midfield.

Rooney has the ball inside the net, but he is called offside.
