The Mancunians came all out out guns blazing, and drew the first blood through Casemiro, from a Luke Shaw assist in the 33rd minute, and a Sven Botman own goal in the 39th minute ensured Man United went into the break with a well cushioned two goal lead.
Newcastle were missing first and second choice goal keepers Nick Pope & Martin Dubravka, so Eddie Howe's men had to settle for "error prone", former Liverpool goalie, Lorius Karius in goal.
