Manchester United made an unconvincing start to the defence of their Premier League title as they were held at Old Trafford by an impressive Newcastle.
The hosts were denied a penalty when James Milner appeared to handball, but Newcastle took a first-half lead when Obafemi Martins powered home a header.
Manchester United levelled only two minutes later when Darren Fletcher converted Ryan Giggs’ left-wing cross.
Nemanja Vidic headed against the bar, but Newcastle fully deserved a point.
