Marcus Rashford doubled the lead just four minutes later when he was played in by Wout Weghorst and the England international saw his effort deflect off of Sven Botman up and over Loris Karius in the Newcastle goal.
After the break, Newcastle drove forward in an attempt to get themselves back in the game but time and time again the United rearguard was on hand to thwart their attempts.United remained a threat on the counter however and the Magpies had Karius to thank for keeping the score at 2-0 when he saved well from Rashford.
Despite the efforts of Eddie Howe's team to force their way back into the match in the last 20 minutes, United were able to keep them at arm's length and nearly made it 3-0 but Bruno Fernandes was thwarted by Karius in injury time.
