Without Schweinsteiger: United draw in Newcastle

Without national team captain Bastian Schweinsteiger, Manchester United have only managed a draw at Newcastle United. At the start of the 21st match day of the Premier League, United coach Louis van Gaal’s team played against Newcastle United 3: 3 (1: 2) on Tuesday. Man Utd dropped one place to sixth. A strong Wayne Rooney alone was not enough for Manchester to win. The captain was involved in all three goals. He took the lead with a penalty (9th minute), provided the assist to make it 2-0 through Jesse Lingard (38th) and finally increased it to 3:2 (79th). The team from Newcastle never gave up and just before half-time managed the goal through Georginio Wijnaldum (42nd). Aleksandar Mitrovic then equalized with a penalty (67th). And at the end of regular time (90th), Paul Dummett even managed to equalize.
