MANCHESTER, England -- As Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has seen wins over Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, but he might feel the one over Newcastle United on Boxing Day was the most satisfying of the lot.

Down to the bare bones because of injuries and international call-ups, Amorim's makeshift team hung on for a narrow-yet-valuable 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.

It was sealed thanks to a stunning strike from Patrick Dorgu, the left-back starting as a right winger.
