Alan Shearer has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Manchester United and Newcastle United playing out a goalless draw at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United could not break the deadlock at Old Trafford.
Newcastle legend Shearer was following the match, and he was pleased with the Magpies’ performance.

Encouraging
In our view, Newcastle United played well against Manchester United at Old Trafford this afternoon.
We think that the Magpies deservedly picked up a point from the Premier League game.
Newcastle had chances to score and were also very good defensively.
The Red Devils also had chances and could have won the match at the end, but we should praise Newcastle for playing attacking football and getting a point at Old Trafford.
As reported by BBC Sport, Newcastle took nine shots, but only two of them were on target.
Maybe that is something that let down the Magpies in terms of winning the match at Old Trafford.
Moreover, Eddie Howe’s side had only 37% of the possession.
