He’ll be heading home but alai gets an opportunity this afternoon Under The Lights as it is and this late afternoon in South Wales and we’re underway in this Emirates FA Cup fourth round time Manchester United on the road for the second round in succession last season’s beaten finalists up against Newport

County 16th in the fourth tier of the football league and it’s really important how Newport start this game need to settle into it don’t need to let the occasion get the better better of them they need to get the foot on the ball ask questions of this Manchester United [Applause]

Side I mentioned that uh several of new courts players are Manchester United fans the the left back Adam Lewis certainly isn’t he’s from Mery side he and his family very much in the Liverpool corner so he’d like nothing better than to put one over United today ball sent forward by James Clark down

The far side but uh Manchester United with the chance to mop it up first touch of the ball there for alai in goal who’s had to be patient this season just looking at these open exchanges the pitch looks really Lively doesn’t look like there’s much giv it

The ball’s bouncing a lot it’s bubbling plays into Newport hands things like that back from Varan to his goalkeeper d has come short but Varan [Applause] collecting Martinez away to The Far Side Luke Shaw back after what was described as a a minor issue but certainly one

Which kept him out of the last four games he’s missed a sizable chunk of the Season little bit before that as well but back in the team for this one today Harry MaGuire available too he’s on the bench Maguire not having played since the Bayern Munich Champions League

Game in December a groin injury having kept him out for recent matches United settling well here in the opening couple of minutes just seeing a a good share of the early possession and with gacho looking to venture forward for the first time harassed harried and dispossessed

By Shane mclin much to the Delight of the good Focus South Wales yes he’ll have to be stronger than that Garo if he wants to be an impact in this game that’s the very least that sh Shane MC goin’s going to do get up get tight to him this is

Anthony always curling wide of the post he’s another player brought into the team Anthony with uh questions surrounding his future at Manchester United yes indeed brought in for huge sums of money and as of yet has failed to perform in a Manchester United churt

This is what he likes to do is drif in off that left hand side often see him do it looks like he’s looking for his attacker there where usually he’s looking for that side netting he’s looking for his first goal for quite a long time as well Anthony

Hasn’t found the net since last April against ninghan [Applause] Forest absolutely packed parade as you would expect for this one little shoving the back there from casemiro conceding the free kick with a challenge on Aaron Wiig doesn’t agree the Brazilian don’t think he’s very happy looking immaculately white there but see there

Is just a little shove there just ease him under the ball so he wins it referee gets that early one right yeah Harry Charley the player on the the end of that former under 21 International for the Republic of Ireland Brin Morris to take this free kick hoping for more Cup heroics this

Time round having made it to the last eight with grimby a year ago garnacho with the [Applause] clearance swept to The Far Side by Adam Lewis ball into the United area for the very first time Anthony back to collect andallo with plenty of time to bring alai into the

Game swiftly they Advance with Bruno Fernandez who he put the tie in the third round Beyond reach he U winning the penalty and putting it away at Wigan to just give them that little bit of Elbow Room at 2-0 much needed at the time I think yeah it was

Indeed another hard evening for Manchester United but just looking at Newport there just swinging that ball into the box a second ago that’s what they need to do they need to make this game a fight they need to get tight to Manch can’t let Manchester United get

Expansive if they do their talent will shine Through D back into Martinez [Applause] looking for Shaw side stepping mlin sliding in there was casemiro Morris gets his foot in there and sends it Forward at the minute new part just happy to sit in what was referred to as a mid block being very organized no Vis

Really popping out of their shape yet just not letting Manchester United get any space in in between the lines where they are likely to hurt you Newport County waited a long time to host Manchester United it’s the first ever competitive meeting between the two sides they almost met way back in 1979

But Newport County narrowly lost an FA Cup fourth round replay to cester United here come Manchester United now first chance of the match and it’s put away by Bruno Fernandez lashed home in the blinking of an eye Newport County nil Manchester United one Manchester United and that’s just the tonic for Eric tenh

And his men a brilliant counter attacking goal Bruno Fernandez making absolutely no mistake at all as he strolled onto that ball cut back from Anthony catches it sublimely any questions of this Manchester United side just been put to bed very early on we can see the move here first time there’ve been the

Ascendancy lovely touch from Fernandez to begin with good awareness from Anthony and as that ball arrives back it’s a wonderful finish he keeps it low hard just the right of towns end and gives the international goalkeeper absolutely no chance at all really good finish from Bruno Fernandez his seventh goal of the

Season and just the sort of start that Manchester United were looking for to settle any nerves but as you mentioned Glenn so ear in the game they they’ve already had the opportunity to get their foot on the ball and and settle in the match yeah they have and you can’t can’t question

Greme copland’s tactics it’s about stopping the Premier League to side at this moment and if you’re going to get through a around like this you’ve got to ride your look and there’s got to be a point where you come out and start playing but first and foremost it’s about stopping them and unfortunately

From Newport First counter attack Manchester United been deadly United haven’t been so good away from Hope and he won win in the last six on the road in all competitions which was in the last round against Wigan but they’ve certainly given themselves a good platform here that was nicely taken

By Will Evans who looks at the referee rather hoping for a free kick which he’s not about to get lovely touch from the big man there and that’s what he needs to be platform for his team butfield he got a little Nick there and I did think

It was a free kick garnacho with the ball forward just a little too far in front of Luke Shaw who’ Advanced Down The Far Side and all of a sudden the anticipation excitement around Rodney parade has just been silenced little see the brilliant touch again here he did get a little

Nick off the returning Luke Shaw the referee got that one wrong well he’s one of those in the the United camp in terms of uh being a supporter of the club will Evans as as you mentioned earlier Glenn he’s worked on the Family Farm for years

Until he was 25 now in his second season with Newport County and here he is playing against his uh his Boyhood Club the team he supported growing up this will without doubt be a pinch me moment for him a moment will never forget in his career I just wonder who sht is asked

[Applause] for out to the head of Martinez well depending on who it is he might need to be quick to stand a of getting it yeah I’m sure there’s a long list I’m sure conversations have already been had even before the game that’s L sha with the header away

The touch from Fernandez and garnacho on the ground Advantage played by David C the referee as Dow Ventures forward Anthony on the near side challenge comes in on him from Delaney and now the chase is on for Seb Palmer Holden and alai just manages to get the ball away to

Lisandra Martinez who gives him an earful yeah just popped off his foot there control wasn’t quite perfect as we’ve said this this pitch is Lively you can see the ball never really settles on it it’s always bubbling and he caught the Manchester United goalkeeper out there well it’s live you can see the

Rugby union marks on it as well as United come forward once more and Kobe Mayu D’s available just outside the box here is the goal scorer Fernandez and now D across teed up for Anthony big chance for the Brazilian to get his first goal of the Season there

And what seems to be happening at the moment Newport so desperate not to concede they dropping so deep and that cut back Ball’s always on always someone available at the edge of the area you see Anthony getting it and you think a man of his quality when he gets out onto

His left foot with a couple of seconds to spare opens up You’ expect him to be finding that far Corner get under it unless you B off the [Applause] [Applause] hook such a different environment for these uh players coming to venues like this one just a little bit it’s what uh

What the fa Cup’s all about not provided with the home Comforts that they might be used to not quite a little bit more contact with supporters it can be quite unnerving at times but man United are dealing with it really really well here in South Wales a reminder Newport County one of three teams left in the competition from outside the top two Divisions fellow Welsh side rexen one of the others rexon playing away at Blackburn robers tomorrow night and of course Maiden uh maidon United from the sixth tier the stars of this FA Cup weekend with an incredible 2-1 win away at I switch town yesterday which you were witness to I

Was I was it was uh it was one of those magical afternoons in the FA Cup made stor progressing against the highflying ifp switch I don’t think anyone expected it but that’s the sort of things this competition throws up here’s Anthony just waits for the support to

Arrive now with doo of white shirts in and around the Newport penalty area Dow across and it’s 2-0 swept in by kobby minu what a start for Manchester United two goals in the opening 13 minutes and kobby miners first goal in a Manchester United shirt what a moment for the

18-year-old and we can see the Newport boys they’re asking questions of each other and we’ just highlighted them dropping too deep and that c ball back balls on again unfortunately for Newport it happens again doow gets down this right hand side lovely couple of Step overs doesn’t send the defender in but there

He is Manu on the cut back allowed to sweep it into that far Corner brilliant finished by the young man for his first Manchester United goal but far far too easy from a new Newport perspective well it’s been a very professional and businesslike approach from Manchester United at the start of

This FA Cup [Applause] tie looking to squash any hopes that Newport County have and quickly yes they have indeed they’ve been extremely professional they’ve been clinical they knew they were up against it and the world wanted an upset but so far they’ve been pretty perfect Manchester United no chances given two goals

Scored great moment there for Mayu the England under 19 International na scoring his first goal 2-n still inside the opening quarter of an hour it’s really important now that Newport just stay in this game don’t let the tie get away from them 3 four because they’ll be looking at themselves

In the mirror this evening and they’ll be ruin missed opportunities and letting the moment pass them by they need to keep it at least to 2-0 before halftime and try and get back into this game I haven’t had the best of Fortunes from corner kicks in League 2 this season

They’ve only scored three goals all season from this s sort of scenario just a little bit for referee cook to keep his eye on there in front of the Manchester United goalkeeper comes comfortably headed Away by Bruno Fernandez sent back in by mlin header on into the penal here from Ryan

Delaney and the last thing you want to do when you get up there and you do get a corner you manage to get some footh hold in the Manchester United half he hit the front man it’s one of my pet hates as a footballer got to beat that front man

Especially when you’re not going to get many opportunities to put that ball in the Box this is more or less the first time they’ve managed to sort of just get their foot on the ball a little bit and string a few passes together they haven’t seen much possession so far

Really can they create something here it’s a comfortable catch in the end too close to the goalkeeper Evans though lurking anon’s touch doesn’t find Bruno Fernandez as Bren morus tries to find a way through Advantage played by the referee Aaron Wiig certainly uh I think fouled his opponent

But that was tidily done by Lewis and now [Applause] Evans mlin coming across to the near side this is better by Newport just getting their foot on the ball a little bit you can’t help but feel it’s cuz Manchester United already the two up took their

Foot off the PA a little bit just confirmation of what we were suggesting there Manchester United with just over three quarters of the plays so far in the game but the most important thing of all of course is what you do with that possession and uh it’s been an excellent

Opening quarter of an hour or so for them if you’ve joined our coverage a little late we miss goals from Bruno Fernandez and be [Applause] nameing Martinez in possession that’s important for United isn’t it Martinez coming back do you not think Glenn they’ missed him haven’t they yeah massively

Uh I think it brings an unmatched energy and aggression to that backline talking of energy Here Comes garnacho teasing the Home Defense looking for an opening can’t find it this time but Anthony will keep the attack alive D’s return pass not good enough to find him [Applause] mofin D here’s

Casemiro space for Luke Shaw Poland waits in the middle Mayu up in the Box as well headed Away by Scott [Applause] Bennett and I’m sure a few of those New Port boyss will be looking up at the clock and seeing only 70 minutes what happened it all seems to

Have gone by in a blur and they find themselves 2-0 down Manchester United of course went all the way to the final last season beaten by Manchester City and alai finds Sandro Martinez who in turn picks out garnacho with a lovely pass supporting in the middle and he rifles it smashing the

Crossbar which is probably still rattling as a result yeah it is and a couple of his teammates there Bruno Fernandez Rasmus hland having a go him but this is a brilliant turn by Martinez and a wonderful pass finds gacho down that side and gacho doesn’t even look across he has no

Interest he’s thinking I’m hitting this early on takes it on his left foot and he gets great purchase on the ball can’t just quite keep it down but I can understand why his Manchester United teammate are asking questions they were both ahead of the Newport defense and if

He squares that it’s game over Rasmus holand was a very frustrated figure at the far post there in that moment as I would have been I was going to I was just about to [Applause] say situation I’m sure can entirely sympathize with here at the back now

Ryan Delaney one of the the Manchester United United supporters in the the Newport County lineup the number four sending it back to Nick townzen the [Applause] goalkeeper plenty of time for sha to pick his pass and find doow was Dogo doow opened the scoring at

Wigan in the third round and here he is now D and Anthony have been good down this right hand side so far this evening in fact with only 20 minutes played Anthony it’s looking like one of his better performances for Manchester United already got an assist want to

Open his goal tally for the [Applause] season kby Manu was a lovely little delicately flighted ball down the near side but comfortably back with Nick townend well there’s a man who’s uh seems got plenty to deal with constantly both on and off the field as Manchester United’s manager remaining very tight

Lipped pre-match about uh the situation surrounding Marcus rashford but uh he saying it was an internal matter that was as far as he would go but uh I’m sure many of you around the world have seen the headlines of the last few days but there’s always seems to be a lot of

Distractions around this team there does around this club at the moment and that is a problem you want to keep your bad news internally not let it slip out but unfortunately Marcus rashford and tenh are at loggerheads again it’s in the public eye and it’s not good for the football

Club but this I’m sure he’ll be bre breathing a little sigh of relief there is side being two up the last thing he would have needed after that coming together is to lose this fixture and this is Adam Lewis the Loney from Liverpool with the throw for Newport

County help to be headed away and Garo up against Bren [Applause] Morris I wonder if Adam Lewis has had the call from his parent Club about beating Manchester United there AR Rivals that would have been one for him to walk back into Melwood with he’s from Liverpool I don’t

Think he needed a call from them did he I’m sure he would have walked back into Melwood with a strutting his step if he get result here this afternoon well that was a poor ball there from Luke Shaw and there will be a free kick a foul by casemiro second time he’s

Conceded a free kick Midway inside his own half so far but that’s what he’s good at the defensive midity he smells Danger and he knows even though he doesn’t win the ball he’s not going to pick up a yellow card just stops that momentum of the [Applause]

Opposition now what if newpt County got up their sleeve here as they look to try to get on the board give themselves and the crowd a little bit of renewed Hope by reducing the deficit I think that’s what they’ve got to aim for is just to try and get on that score sheet

Give them the crowd something they’ve all turned out in their numbers here at Newport today just give them something to cheer and then see what happens from that point Le quick with the throw strike to [Applause] Morris Shaw’s clearance gacho’s touch Fernandez Anthony and garnacho have really stretched Newport they’ve been

Really good the Manchester United Wingers either side always trying to get it there opping fullbacks making positive runs so far such an exciting player isn’t he garnacho just 19 years of age and we saw that wonder goal at Everton he was was outstanding on boxing day in the comeback win against Villa

He’s just got so much talent he has he has and he seems to be built for the Limelight doesn’t he he comes up with big goals when he needs to I think the main thing for Manchester United is that he always performs he’s always at least

A seven out of 10 never goes missing for a young man and that’s that’s a a real positive to have in your [Applause] Armory not the start he was hoping for there gr and coflin his team behind early in in this [Applause] match Charley losing out Newport still with the

Ball the shot on the turn once twice and it was pretty well struck by Will Evans good jot by Will Evans shows his impetus shows his first thought is to try and get that shot away as that ball comes in get it under control get it on

That right foot swivel hit it as it comes back it’s a brilliant reaction hit on his left foot and it is equally a really good save by alai who hasn’t had much to do that’s a good purchase from a short range good handling by the Manchester United goalkeeper Fernandez put under pressure

D alai the former goalkeeper fibach currently top of the the Turkish Super League International the turkey a as Well here’s casemiro first match for him since the 1 of November the Arab about Cup tie against Newcastle and um two players on slightly different wavelengths there for a moment yeah a little misunderstanding there nothing much has gone wrong in that final third from Manchester United

But we just see plays with cross wiers just going back to alai and coming from Turkey it’s always funny when you’ve got a a foreign player in your team and you’re explaining about the FA Cup and where you’ve got to go and trying to explain what Rodney perade would would

Have been like I’m sure his face as he pulled into the ground would have been a real picture headed on by Evans that’s Anthony getting his foot in holand who hasn’t had much to work with so far in the opening quarter of the match Asus

Hland no he hasn’t it’s h it’s been so far it’s been a quiet afternoon for him but it’s difficult when you’ve got Wingers on either side that want to cut in and the want to shoot we highlighted the gacho chance earlier where he could have crossed it and we could see

Hyland’s frustration but that’s why because his wings aren’t looking to provide for him well holand now trying to receive the pass from Anthony but uh Ryan Delaney made sure that he didn’t get to the ball it’s a welcome to Will’s challenge that one wasn’t it he lined him up yeah

And if he wants hland shirt after the game he might want to wash it caked in mud already as a result of that challenge Dow that with [Applause] martinez Luke Shaw available for the pass from his goalkeeper you can see now Newport coming out hunting a little bit more rather than

Sitting in that shape that they were at one stage but going in ones and twos and leaving Dal there is just not going to work just a little pullback there I think by Scott Bennett and he’s just saying there to his teammate why you going we’ve got to

Go as a unit he can’t go in ones and twos cuz this quality Manchester United Team will just pick you off easily and it makes the afternoon a long afternoon if you’re just leaving spacing behind you yeah great occasion for everyone connected with Newport County the likes

Of Scott Bennett playing in the heart of their defense around 350 matches for the club real STW work for them Varan who’s won the lot hasn’t he rapael Varan four Champions Leagues the World Cup you name it been there done it but here he is at Rodney parade with

His teammate trying to successfully negotiate this what looked potentially banana skin tie against League 2 opposition but Manchester United impressively into a two-nil lead inside the opening 13 minutes of the game as Anthony scoots away from Lewis Fernandez casmiro to the near side Baran popping up on the

Wing kobu underneath it garnacho has it now nice ball in Anthony third attempt on goal of the first half from the Brazilian yeah you can see him’s disappointed cuz he knows with one of those chances you see he’s had three already he should have hit the back of

The net this one in all fairness is really good defending I just wonder man of his talent could he just swiv that onto his right foot let the defender go sliding by and had a almost empty neet to put it into I think maybe comp confident thaty would

Have headed by Brin Morris up to the edge of the Box forward This Time by Lewis that’s easy for Shaw and Fernandez how about that for a pass Garo taking it in his stride Rasmus hland up alongside him here’s Anthony lovely little turn but there’s time for Newport to tidy up

And clear all right there what anon’s just done is what he should have done on the earlier opportunity but again I’m sure that hland will be extremely frustrated garnacho goes down that left hand side doesn’t even look to square it to his stri who again is there asking

For the opportunity to be laid on to him his first thought is to cut back yes he does find a teammate but here just playing into that space in front of him let your Striker get in the score sheet play for him but the moment he’s team te

And not playing for him rasman Rasmus Highland yeah he’s just hovering around waiting for that ball to be played to him isn’t he h and it just isn’t so far he he’s in the right place I think I think he’s well within his right to go to his

Manager Monday morning and say look I’m there I need to be provided for I’m getting into positions you need to get Wingers that look for [Applause] me such a frustrating place to be for Rasmus Highland because like we say and we’ve highlighted that he’s made the right run without any

Doubt it’s how many times you keep doing it without getting the ball you you lose your focus you lose your anticipation gacho no way through this time and it’s thumped Away by Clark but no sooner do they clear than it comes straight back towards them dallow Anthony once more going for goal

Again and it will be a corner as soon as he gets it at his first though always is it can he get in on that left foot usually looks for that Far Side n in this one see it’s extremely powerful anym stings it towards the goal easy enough

Save for towns end in the end yeah Nick towns end seven caps now for Antiga and baruda made his International debut in [Applause] 2022 clean sheets in his last two league matches before today one of them they one win over rexon under pressure again potentially as Lewis with a wild swing

Anthony we’ve seen plenty of the ball so far and we’ll have to settle for a corner but again he’s got teammate in the box and what does he want to do he wants to have a shot he wants hit C in on his left foot and hit it again again

But he looks like a player who hasn’t scored for 9 months who’s just desperate to find the back of the net I understand that but you got to do the right things first and and the first thing you’ve got to do is put this game to bed yes it’s

2-0 it’s going to be very difficult tasks for Newport from this point but get the [Applause] third David could saying hey lad do you realize I’m standing right behind you I can see all of this yeah like a wrestling match in that the Newport players do not want to let those

Manchester United players get even a yard space cuz they know if they do they can be punished Ryan Delaney the player trying to get in the middle of holand and [Applause] Varan laying down The rules there the referee David Cook doesn’t want any of [Applause] it it comes from

Fernandez Nao challenged in the Box DAV coutz carry on Al Tai way off his line sends it out of play Manchester United feeling that the well Alejandro gacho feeling that he should have got something there yes he did couldn’t quite make out who got first the ball there was clear contact let’s have

Another look here and in the Premier League with V I think that’s given us a penalty he gets his foot to it first newort player kicks through him kicks through his foot onto the ball and it looks like he’s got to the ball first but he didn’t it was

Gacho Argentina is well within his right to question David [Applause] C this is Martinez backing away with Palmer Holden Newport with a [Applause] throw this where they need to make something happen Newport try and just get an effort on target give thems a Lifeline in this game all these people

Turned out give them something to [Applause] cheer in the early Sunday evening in South Wales in this at spheric Arena the header coming in there from [Applause] Delaney for a second as that header just flicks on I wondered if Alti just took one step too far but shows great composure a little

Bit of fast footwork catches it nice and easy first thought Let’s Get Away now’s the Willing [Applause] Runner collected here by veran once more Dow it’s Anthony interesting to see what happens following this I know alai is playing because um Andre Onana has been away at

The African Cup of Nations do you sense there might potentially be an opening or a decision to make going forward I definitely think there’s a question of it I think from the outside world more so but Eric tenh seems pretty set that Andre Onana is his goalkeeper

Whatever he likes the way he plays out from the back there’s been a lot of question marks over the Manchester United goalkeeper since he joined in the summer but in all fairness Eric tanh has stood strong with him here’s the save from the header from Delaney yeah relatively easy isn’t it

It’s a good flick on Manchester United goalkeeper nice easy collect but I like I I think they’re all on the save wavelength today they want to bounce as quick as they can try and catch Newport out of position see if they can can help them inside the last 10 minutes of the

First half and Newport County are back in the match with a stunning strike Brinn Morris oh how about that they have a foothold in this F Cup tie and we can see the manager there he’s pointing at his watch he’s saying keep it tight before halftime because that Wonder

Strike has just got his team back in this FA Cup tie what a wonderful strike right from B Brin Morris as soon as it left his foot whoo it was traveling wasn’t it we see here long ball up eventually comes back to him touch and he hits it takes a little flick I

Actually think it may be even gathers pace of Martin is his forehead as he tries to flick it on the only thing he flicks it on to is’s right into the back of his goalkeeper’s neet and leaves his goal Ki with absolutely no chance whatsoever in off the post Newport Back

In the to ey it was a cracking shot it was a sizable deflection but Bren Morris and Newport County won’t be worrying about that they are back in it at 21 well brim Morris there it does not look like a man who’s just scored against the mighty

Manchester United does he I think he was very aware of how big a deflection it took regardless of that that goal goes down to you young man and suddenly they’re up and about the adrenaline flowing through the veins but Manchester United will look to respond immediately with

Anthony as they aim to restore that two-goal lead Rasmus holand too high for gacho out of breach for Fernandez and all hands on deck there it was Will Evans the center forward who cleared the ball from near his own by line yeah it was coming back into the box there and

All of a sudden there’s a little bit more noise a little bit more excitement around Rodney perade they’re back in this fixture it looked dead and buried at one point Manchester United were cruising most of this first half they looked cool they look calm they managed the game really well but

All of a sudden all of a sudden there is a buzz in this little corner of South Wales there is indeed and it’s imperative that they go into halftime only one goal [Applause] behind here Manu the scorer of Manchester United’s second goal Doo Dall [Applause] casemiro what a wonderful pass that’s

Absolutely terrific pass to Anthony with a lovely ball up to the edge of the penalty area but it’s poked away and newport’s Defenders standing [Applause] firm dallow showed too much of that to Adam Lewis and Brin morres gets the deflection for the throw good reaction from man United

Though up the tempo in the game kept passing the ball moving it around when they make the pitch big newon can’t live with them the man he’s got his team back in this tie a reminder the draw for the fifth round made a little earlier on the

Winners of this tie will travel away again in the next round in the fifth round they will be away to either Bristol City or Nottingham Forest they played out a one all draw on Friday Night I don’t think Newport can look that far yet they have got this fixture to deal with first could be another Premier League tide in the next [Applause] round heading towards the last five minutes of the first [Applause] half here’s veran Lal Chase for Kobe [Applause]

Mayu and the chase is on Varan there first ahead of Seb pah Holden D can’t clear suddenly new County just looked like a team playing with greater confidence greater belief in what they’re trying to do as Shane mlin has it now held up by gacho ball back with Scott Bennett

Evans lets it run United get it [Applause] away Clarks there tussling with hland carry on says the referee David C actually taking every available opportunity to try to allow the game to flow yeah he has in all fairness but Newport making this a battle mou for Manchester United hand Ball by Luke

Shaw put balls high in the air that’s exactly what Defenders don’t want for ran having to pull one out of the air with his head that isn’t what he wanted he wants to have the ball at his feet he wanted to be dictating play all of a sudden Manchester

United just look a little bit under the pump they were absolutely coasting for over half an hour in this cup tie completely in control since the goal new CL County playing in a completely different atmosphere [Applause] here just missed the first one shamer glofin is the player to take this one

And it goes to Morris who didn’t catch that one cleanly nacho looks to lead the break as casemiro launches it towards Anthony great Touch by Anne there pull that out of the sky killing it dead D [Applause] Martinez you can see there the action areas Manchester United

38% in that Newport final third only 20 % or touching 20% for Newport but they’ made it count need to get that 18% up a little bit more Manchester United be hoping but they can just keep dominating possession veran here’s D moving away from Lewis into Bruno Fernandez now Luke

Shaw Evans again back to help out his his defensive colleagues G Nao can’t find a way through Evans tries to play the ball away and it’s a free kick to the league two side and everything’s being cheered now tackles shots blocks the Crowder back on side see casemiro there stopping another possible

Attack doesn’t agree with it again never often does does he a penny for that man’s thought right [Applause] now I will give for that man’s thoughts most weeks actually at the moment I will give it his expression never changes winning or losing Townsen with a long long ball forward safely behind it will be a goal kick that one shot from will Evans the 18 goal forward for Newport County so

Far into that near post area it was Lively it was a sharp shot it was a man full of confidence that scored a lot of goals already this year and just be hoping for a better opportunity with a slightly better angle benefiting him alai binder Away by the head of Ryan

Delaney this is Harry Charley all hustle and bustle in the heart of Midfield all kept in play but met by the head of Martinez and Shaw 270th appearance for Manchester United today the hip and they’re in on daro very very swiftly that was Shane mlin with the challenge giving him an inch wherever

Possible this is hland and now gacho’s got a bit of space Anthony running ahead over it comes and it’s a really poor ball the pull Ball but it’s a right idea from Bruno Fernandez just trying to curl that ball into anony in the middle of the Box gets a little bit too much

Height on it but I think gacho needs to take Leaf out of his book when he does get away because if he’ been a little bit less selfless I’m sure Manchester United would three in the L and this wouldn’t be the case going into halftime with

Only a goal difference in the game yeah into minimum of two added minutes G has Flo pretty well this is the Sandro Martinez looking for gacho he keeping mclin busy but mclin seems to be relishing the task support from Luke Shaw and sliding in and helping out and clearing his lines Harry

Charley it’s a clear tactic from Manchester United they must be aware that Newport dropped too deep and that cut back is always on here’s [Applause] dallow Pacho then your time for Bennett to send it over the touch line as Newport County just tried to see it out

With a 2-1 score line to the break and again that man there get way down that left hand side the H field Rasmus hland was Buren across that front post can he roll it into his Striker’s path opts for the pull back again well this period of the match gr

And Caan’s team are very much in this cup tie when Manchester United had asserted early Authority on proceedings with two goals in the opening 13 minutes but that deflected strike from Bren Morris has just change the the feel around the tie for the moment Dogo Odo looks to change that and

The save is made by towns EMP Fernandez and that will do it for the first half Bruno Fernandez giving Manchester United the lead inside the opening s minutes kobby Mayu making it 2-0 but Bren Morris hoping that he gets the service that will enable him to add

To the seven goals he’s scored so far this season as the Dane gets the second half underway Manchester United all in white the flood lights shining brightly down on Rodney parade the scene of a few famous cup encounters over the years over more recent years as well Leicester city beaten here 5 years

Ago Tottenham needed a very late Harry Kane equalizer to get a replay Manchester United though with their noses in front as gar Nao sent it across here’s Anthony with the improvisation don’t think that was quite on for Anthony there don’t think the height was on the ball so much tries to

Get under it and rir that ball back on target but fortunately just get under it and it Loops over here Manchester United starting really well it’s Rasmus hland who goes for that original head stays down look hurt the young man back up on his feet play resumes headed on by Shane

Mlin player they signed from Salford last year Nudge forb by Aaron W dig didn’t quite come off now d buo Fernandez Making Tracks up to the edge of the Box the ball in towards him and some space for Alejandro gacho Luke Shaw arrives and ton is shielded by two of

His Central defensive colleagues there to who blocked Poland’s path to the keeper all right we’re in Newport that’s an excellent ball in there from Evans collected by SE Palmer Holden the little layoff and wielding away to The Far Side Here Comes Adam Lewis into the box it goes oh it’s 22

Will Evans the top scorer delivers in the biggest game of all it’s the first really good clear chance that he’s had in the match and he’s buried it Newport County 2 Manchester United 2 well that man there he had a snap sh early in the first half

And it was a good strike but this one he makes a brilliant run across the front and it’s just a little Nick he gets on it but arrives in the back of the Manchester United net and you can see what it means to them and all of a sudden this Rodney Crow

Parade they believe they believe that they can be an upset he a brilliant player for him there to begin with to start the move off manages to hold the ball up first thought he’s getting in the middle and then get across the front of Varan get a

Nick on the ball goalkeeper got no chance brilliant Center forward player by heavans holds it up gets in the middle gets the first Contact and you can see what it means to those supporters behind the goal he just stole in in front of rapael Varan a split second before the defender

Could get his boot to the ball to clear it away well there’s one thing it doesn’t matter how up high how high up the pyramid you are or how low down you are the goal doesn’t change and if you can get the right purchase the right angle

On the ball it’ll go in you can see what it means to the Newport goalkeeper and all of a sudden Manchester United are in a game and in the modern era what is it about this Stadium what is it about this club Newport County they are at it again they

Are indeed there’s a long time to go in this fixture but they have climbed a mountain already this fixture got the better of them in the first 10 minutes Manchester United was superb for the first half an hour indeed they were and somehow after being two goals down

Newport have found a way back into this fixture it’s 22 now [Applause] Luke sha and Bruno Fernandez are two players either side of the ball [Applause] here FKS players need to maintain their concentration at this point as the ball comes back out to garnacho the block is

Made by Ryan Delany who just threw everything he got in the way of the ball there that’s what it’s about just getting your body in between between that strike and the goal Newport will be doing that for the rest of this second half we look back over at Manchester United been quite

Wasteful with opportunities in that first half Newport will hope that Trend [Applause] continues ball headed Away by mlin Fernandez looking for gacho mofin is there he’s had a good game today the right back yeah he’s done well tricky customer gacho just in his next spell Newport

Need to keep their heads not get too excited not get to ahead of themselves remain in their shape remain hard to beat it’s about stopping Manchester United first and foremost which is easier said than done as Anthony now Ventures forward looking for kobby mayo and it all rather Fizzles

Out Tag’s expression two n up two 22 doesn’t change I’m sure there’s a lot going through that man’s mind right now well you said a penny for his thoughts in the first half you’d pay a bit more than that now wouldn’t you I think he would indeed he be looking towards his bench

Sooner rather than later I’m sure seeing who can make a difference on it Dio Amed Dio the young man he can add impetus and paace to that attack other than that there’s no real experienced front players on it chose to leave Marcus rashford out I wonder if he questions his own decision

Now SC like Tom another one of the players on the the Manchester United bench today played for by Casmir well he’s rescued them once this season already in the Premier League two late goals I think it was against brenford have to come on and rescue them again this afternoon in South Wales yeah

Two very late goals against brenford that was some comeback so par at Rodney parade and who would have thought that after half an hour Manchester United into a a thoroughly deserved 2-n lead inside the opening 15 minutes but Newport County cloring their way to parity at 22 well

It’s quite quiet in Rodney parade at the moment and I think if anything the home faithful are shocked because I don’t think they can quite believe that they’ve restored the game to 22 well Tai just gets it away before said Palmer Holden could get close to it it’s Anthony on the deck

Free kick for Manchester United yeah when you put your foot on the ball like that you attract that sort of challenge especially at this level first time Manchester United have played in South Wales in the FA Cup for a few years first time since the final in

2005 where they played Arsenal and lost on penalties after a goal of draw Fernandez chasing into the penalty I remember for a few years the uh the final of the FA Cup was played in cardi long way to go in this tie [Applause] yet Luke Shaw mixing it up towards the

Near post hooked away it was SE palah Holden who cleared and back in it comes once more that was Luke Shaw going for it Jam M Lin doing really well there probably the smaller man in that but desire to win it get rid of it for

His team and here we see him with the ball in his hands just taking this thing out the game they just need to take the tempo out of it don’t let Manchester United get into their [Applause] stride they hav come through the first three rounds of the competition Newport

County they only played aside from the national league in this particular cup run before today and they needed a replay in each of the last two rounds to get past them and here they are that’s brilliant play by Anthony has he kept it in yes he has Rasmus hland now looks to

Tear it up Fernandez good save by townzen Fernandez has found himself in that position on a number of occasions this afternoon I wonder when he’s going to make it count another finish that he’s lacking a little bit in all fairness you’d expect him to score from

Here but it’s in that comes in here just blocks that swivel shot from Rasmus Holland I thought he was brilliant defending from the Newport Center Cent midfielder and there we see Fernandez strolling onto it he’s got the whole goal to aim for and put it right down town Ed’s throat here is

Fernandez again sending it forward towards garnacho as he kept it in no not quite thought he did he looked back as he touched that that ball his first thought was did I keep it in he looks back towards the linesman sees him put his flag up you can see here newort

Playing the game managing the game just leaving the ball the young Argentine having to go and get it this game all of a sudden is somehow in the balance sday braford looking [Applause] on senior figure the sporting director with inos working with Sim R I think he might be looking down on

This P this afternoon thinking how big this job he’s that he’s got to do the magnitude of it he knows a team like Manchester United shouldn’t be coming here and putting a performance in like this too high for Garo mofin forward no chance Heaven us to get on the end of

That Mar marz away BR [Applause] Fernandez goin’s definitely groan in confidence in the game isn’t he nice said the ball rolled for there by Bennett and then away to The Far Side I like that Lis Touch first thought deliver it into the box three people in the Box can I find one of

Them well we said that Newport were reeling in the opening 10 minutes of this game I’m sure Manchester United plays are similar at the moment they won’t quite be able to understand how this game has just slipped away from them absolutely fascinating FA Cup Tire we’ve got here between these two and

More pressure on the Manchester United defense now and James Clark is up support coming as Lewis float it into the penalty area the header coming in from Ryan Delaney good Header by the big Center back first thought though Get Up Get Back protect my goal good spell for Newport this it’s

Not just about the quality you’ve got as a player here is it this test for Manchester United now it’s a little bit of a a test of character it is indeed gacho should get there first will he come away with the ball well the real determination there was

From Bren Morris who was just a little too Keen for referee David C free kick Manchester United you’re right it is going to be a real test of character they had it so easy for so long we just see coming together here not sure see gacho’s arm

Round Newport player neck and I think it’s just a a matter of Desire here they shout for hand ball I think it’s veran difficult angle that to see never going to be given without any V [Applause] that Adam Lewis with the throw it’s only the second FA Cup tie

He’s played in this season he missed a chunk of the season thr injury but enjoying himself out there in this fourth round tie that throw from alai binder collected by Luke Shaw and there will be a free kick for Newport County this is exactly what they want getting free kicks in areas where

They can put the ball in against his Manchester United defense coming together there between Shaw m L don’t there’s any argument there that’s a free kick Manchester United reached the fifth round in eight of the past nine seasons in the FA Cup but they’ve got a little bit of work to

Do here against Graham Caan’s League two side and it is Newport County on the front foot here with this free [Applause] kick I think the frustrating thing for Manchester United point of view is how dominant they were and how in control of this fixture they were well completely

Weren’t they yes without doubt it cruise control for the first 30 minutes and all of a sudden a little bit of look he put back in [Applause] it Bren Morris to take another volley coming from Harry Charley tough technique that by Harry Charley the ball’s behind him it’s flat

Trying to wrap his hips around it sort of drag the ball with him almost [Applause] impossible sending it forward and they are scrapping for absolutely everything that be bit of play there by Kobe Manu the referee bringing the game back flaggers raised on the near side here newort grown in

Stature trying to hunt imp packs they believe that they could get a big scalp here you can sense it sometimes it can sense when you’re in the ascendency in the game and they certainly feel like they are at the [Applause] moment half an hour remaining in South Wales Luke Shaw Bacho trapped by Morris the Block in there up against Shaw here’s Garo be a corner good play there by James K Clark staying on his feet Shan garnacho wants to dangle a leg just sees it out for a [Applause] corner the deflection carrying that into the near post Sandro Martinez up causing Mayhem

Nice as usual Argentine Defender see him attacking his front Force here I actually think he gets a Nick that takes it goldwood and it’s actually Rasmus holand that he comes off and take takes it wide rasma hland isn’t there town would have had a save to make and that unfortunately just sums up

Holland’s time at Manchester United at the [Applause] moment finally scoring in the Premier League for the first time on boxing day in the come from behind win against Villa five goals in the group stage of the Champions League though Away by mclin collected by Will Evans the scorer of the equalizing [Applause] goal

Big load for a young striker to sort of take on board though isn’t it coming into uh English football having previously been in in Italy but you know nobody’s doubting his talent but it’s not as if he’s got an experienced senior Striker to play with no he doesn’t he

Has no one to look up to so to speak but I mean for me the signs are positive the runs a good it’s just his teammates aren’t quite looking for him at the moment I’m not sure if they believe in him or where they just prefer to score them goal them goals

Themselves yeah very very frustrating position that Rasmus ho finds himself in the Manchester United Church County now surging forward Bren Morris wants the ball he wanted it played Square across the middle of the park here’s Bruno Fernandez very nicely done indeed Poland away to The Far Side

Anthony held up by Ryan Delaney Anthony stayed down and is on on the ground but the referee saying there was no foul play there and the match continuing it doesn’t matter about the grimaces or how many rules you do when you’re in South Wales you got to get up and you got to

Carry on it’s about character now for these Manchester United players and anony need to show a little bit more of it oand to the near side gacho up against mlock and that’s been a really good battle today and still is and once more it goes right across the

Face the go you see there Rasmus hland lashing out at the near p post with his boot in frustration yeah again he’s made that run that you expect your Striker to make across the front post unfortunately the ball’s too high for him and where your opposite Winger should be arriving unfortunately towns

Own the goalkeeper on the ground may require a little treatment we just saw a shot there of gr cofin the Newport manager he’s always looked in control externally at least you know and composed every time we’ve seen him on the touch line whether is teams behind whether they’ve just scored when I’m

Sure he was leaping inside uh but he’s an experienced figure isn’t he I mean he played nearly 500 matches during his career yeah I mean he was uh he’s kicked lumps out of me plenty of times gr Copland Center back yes I’m sure he’s given the Persona that he’s nice and C but

Inside I bet he’s absolutely delighted with his players but he’ll want more he’ll want one step more he want one more goal or at the very least he will not want to concede a goal and I want to take this tie back to Old Trafford which

Could be huge for the football club but I’m sure given the opportunity he’d rather have this scal yeah I’d be very proud of the way his team have conducted themselves so far in this match here’s the goal that reduced the deficit to 2-1 Brin Morris with a thunderbolt and

Here’s the equalizer a more delicate touch fir a little deflection burst out the Cole Palmer celebration I know that a lot of people will enjoy that first strike but for me Evans goal was it was a football purist goal it was a Striker’s purist goal getting across that front post getting

That Nick and that is exactly the service that hland at the other end isn’t getting he’s making those runs let’s keep an eye on Nick Townsen the goalkeeper 25 minutes to go hope uh there’s no major issue for him he looks to be [Applause] fine [Applause]

You can see that and we’ve said that Shane M gland’s grown in stature you see almost 60% down that Wing he’s a willing Outlet he’s always on the overlap and I think it just shows that Manchester United’s We Care he’s on the left hand side might be garnacho and not

Tracking back quite as much touch on collected by Bruno Fernandez garnacho on the near side is available holand in the middle hland tries to beaten to it and Away with wildig Challenge on him from casemiro Charley sending the ball on its way Baran gets in there ahead of Palmer

Holden but Newport County are Relentless now in their pursuit of an upset played in by Evans and the shot going wide from Harry Charley yeah Harry Charley gets that ball on his left foot just reaches a little bit for that strike don’t think he’s quite settled enough to hit

This drags It Wide of the post but good position for Newport need to make slightly better decisions yeah scored a couple of goals this season Charley but not since August well he’ll be hoping he can get one this evening just a little bit of rustiness there I

Think he shorta it’s missed a couple of chunks of the Season missed 16 matches with a muscle injury between August and November and then missed the last four before coming back into the team today should be Town in’s ball and all of a sudden you see Townsen

There he’s the one that wants to get rid of the ball and he’s got willing runners in front of him very much like we saw Manchester United in the first [Applause] half here’s varant now alandro Martinez Fernandez is looking for Anthony garnacho the fall to Luke Shaw

Here and still oh it was a very fine effort and put into the back of the net by Anthony from Manchester United and finally for the first time in nine months he finds the back of the net and the Premier League side are back in front once again you can see what it

Means to Anthony there real emotion dropping to his knees that pressure he’s been carrying on his shoulders people always saying about those stats you see him hitting the Manchester United badge there I think that’s a statement I’m hate to State and what a way to be undone Luke

Shaw I thought he was going to hit with his left foot he cuts back onto his weaker right foot almost gets his angles perfect and he comes off the post I just wondered if anony was slightly offside it’s going to give us a really good idea

But when it does arrive to the Brazil definitely on side when it does arrive it’s a solid finish it’s a good finish on his weaker foot bounces just before him it’s a reactional finish and it’s a much much needed from Finish from Manchester United point of [Applause]

View 3-2 they lead Luke really unlucky it was an excellent effort from him and Anthony following up on the rebound Manchester United back in [Applause] front and for all his critics Anthony a goal and assist here tonight and at 3-2 now Newport I can’t help but feel this task is just going to

Be maybe one step too far 20 minutes left and it comes from Adam Lewis into the box once more cleared Away by casemiro surely Manchester United won’t let it slip a second time today having previously led by two goals to [Applause] nil Newport getting ready to make a change now

Lewis Payne is going to come on a 19-year-old fullback they’ve got him on loan from Southampton scored in the second round against Barnett in the [Applause] replay Martinez has been good for Manchester United today out of possession and in possession he dictated play at times gives him good leadership at the back

Doesn’t hez do yes he does reads the game well I’m sure tenh will be absolutely delighted to have the Argentinian back in the ranks so 20 minutes to go and Newport County find themselves once more having to pick themselves up off the canvas to

Try to come back in the tie it’s it’s a tall ask of course as hyand lays it off to dioo and casemiro forward with an excellent ball into to kobby Manu Anthony the scorer of the goal that separates the two [Applause] sides big block holand just bouncing off

Garnacho the attack stays alive and then it’s cleared away there’ll be a free kick there for that challenge by casemiro who gets a yellow card on Charley yeah one too many from casemiro see him smiling there just slightly late on this challenge in Catching Charle picks up yellow I think it’s

Accumulation more than [Applause] anything a cauldron of FA Cup excitement Rodney parade it’s certainly delivered in entertainment yeah just a feeling for the last couple of minutes that uh Newport County’s cut balloon has been popped by that goal but they came back before well I thought it had been once

Already this evening I thought he was dead and buried but somehow they climbed that mountain they climbed it twice can they climb it a third time to get back into this cook [Applause] Tie at the moment it’s Manchester United who would be going through to the fifth round to play Bristol City or Nottingham for and here comes garnacho once more looking for holand holand collects excellent play by him Bruno Fernandez can’t find a way past Ryan Delaney that’s another big block by the

Number four huge block and Bruno Fernandez shakes his head there he can’t believe that he hasn’t added to his tally cuz he’s got the ball so many times about 16 yards from goal cut back to him perfectly and a player of his caliber he be thinking that he can score from that

Position yeah really good play by Rasmus hland inside the penalty area there as James Clark holds Fernandez at [Applause] Bay GRE cotland planning his next move how can he affect this game for the last 15 20 minutes can his side get back into this fixture [Applause] nao’s [Applause] Header a bit of shirt pulling there it’s a free kick for Newport County Scott Bennett was the player [Applause] [Applause] fouled [Applause] Bren Morris Evans with the layoff collected by pay now Morris once more into the heart of the penalty it goes and just Out Of Reach for Charley yes Holden nodded that ball I just wondered if Charli could get on the end of it

This is where the match really starts to open up as we head towards the last quarter of an hour and any spaces left by the Newport County players will surely be exploited by their Premier League opponents garnacho [Applause] Anthony Kobe Mayu gacho and the block there made by Shane mofin

Naturual twisting and turning that box there and you’re right come to the point where Newport need to maybe commit a few more men forward and that he’s ultimately going to leave gaps at the back you’ve got willing Runners like Anthony and garnacho they can hurt you but that’s the chance gr copland’s men’s

Got to take now to try and stay in this year’s FA Cup well so many times teams in the Premier League and the championship in the last 15 years or so have found it really tough going in the domestic Cup competitions on this pitch

And so it is today as well for Eric tenh har side but so far they have their noses in [Applause] front launched high and long by Nick towns end Only onto the head of Luke Shaw though Anthony down right in front of the referee free kick monu quick to

Take it and away we go once more as Fernandez brings garnacho into the play support from Luke Shaw on the near side and into the middle it goes holand had made the run and the ball I think just rolled in slightly behind him yes it did

And like we said there’s going to be gaps whether Manchester United can make them count that time they couldn’t but I think those chances are going to come more more it’s just whether Newport can summon one last opportunity nice play by Manu that he’s done well this afternoon the young man

Not the show character keep getting on the ball difficult situation at Rodney parade not shooked his responsibilities and here he is now picking out gacho away from pay come enough though for [Applause] Town Manchester United just getting into their stride a little bit finding those passes sure of Newport tiing a little

Bit not getting as tight to the Manchester United midfield therefore the likes of Fernandez and Manu can pick their passes couple of changes coming up shortly for Newport County as they look to mix things up the player we’re looking at there is kib and Ry he’s the

First player of nepes Heritage to play in the English football league he was born in Breen where his father and mother settled because of uh the military barracks in the town his father of former British Army gerker he’s going to come on Harry Charley going off and

The other player coming on James weight who came off the bench in both matches in the third round and Aaron Wiig also makes way and Newport also making another change Matthew Baker is going to come on Matthew Baker Wales under 21 International he’s a central Defender they have on loan from Stoke

City and he is on for Scott Bennett so all change then um three pairs of fresh legs for the final 15 minutes or so yeah I think that’s the final roll of the dice from Copland bring some fresh legs on see if they can affect this game

Bring a little bit of energy to his team’s performance Baker waiting right they’ll be wanting to be heroes they’ll been sat on this bench watching waiting desperate to get on against this Manchester United Team can they be the star ball collected on the near side and a corner one by Palmer [Applause]

Holden over it comes from James weight The Substitute it was his first touch pushing in the penalty area free kick conceded by Will Evans for his challenge in the Box yeah it wasn’t quite the height that he would like on the ball needed to move the Manchester United

Player out of the way couldn’t help but push him but we see Scott mom ready to enter the freight and that speaks volumes Eric tenh har tried to protect this league bringing him on [Applause] Shaw casemiro gacho [Applause] Martinez just over 10 minutes remaining Newport trying to pick up the

Loose pieces of the errant pass but James wake couldn’t get hold of it garnacho does heading in towards goal anony just got it caught underneath his feet there Luke Shaw Dono again Newport County survived into the last 10 we go plus added time you can see the two mancher United forwards

Again at each other’s throats gacho and Rasmus hland hland wants that ball delivered cut back again frustration is evident number9 casemiro makes way Scott Momin coming on to replace him and good from Manchester United’s point of view that casemiro is back back on the pitch having been out since the start of November

Momin coming on for what remains of the match is number 53 Willie CA and Willie Kamala coming on for his fourth appearance for the club to replace uh Luke Shaw he came on for the last seven minutes in the last round at Wigan yeah I think two positives for

Manchester United there as far as the afternoon’s concerned Luke Shaw good mini in casemiro getting good M no injury Manchester United Squad as we take it towards the end of the season looking stronger and stronger with the returning players yeah absolutely and Martinez of course who’s out there he played for

Half an hour Off the Bench against Tottenham in the previous match before this one but it’s his first start since September today and it’s a Newport County free kick and they they’re a long way from giving up on this FA Cup tie yet no but as the seconds slip

By it’s becoming Slimmer and Slimmer that they’re going to get back into this tie but these are the moments when they can put balls into the box Delaney adds his notable physical presence to events inside the Manchester United penalty area everyone back for this one you see Rasmus hoil in

There 8 minutes plus added time and the uh physios the medical team are dealing with an emergency in the crowd which is why the match has stopped for the time being that of course takes priority at this moment in time and we hope that everybody is okay in the crowd and it gives

The managers on the touch line um an unexpected opportunity to just perhaps get their plays together a little bit of a an impromptu Timeout on the sidelines Manchester United inching towards the fifth round of the FA Cup here was the opening goal scored by Bruno Fernandez

It was the perfect start for them and very quickly they were two up inside the opening quarter of an hour Kobe Maya with his first Manchester United goal completely in control until this moment here Bren Morris with a shot deflecting off Lisandro Martinez on the way and

Then early in the second half the equalizing goal from will Evans but Luke Shaw shot off the post Anthony reacting and Manchester United’s lead restored and is indeed see the referee just talking to the managers there and you’re right people’s well-being in the stand is more important than the

Tie just hope whoever it may be is well well I wonder what he’s made of events so far today Eric H I mean I I guess he would have assumed that it wasn’t necessarily going to be plain sailing in a match such as this but half

An hour in I think he would have been very happy with the way that his team had played but suddenly looked as if it was starting to unravel for them and then when that early second half equalizer went in it’s uh for that period there of the match it was quite a

Test for Manchester United with Newport taals very much up ultimately all that matters is that score in the top left hand of your your screen that’s what he’ll refer to after the game I think his biggest disappointment will come from how in control of the fixture his

Side were and to let a League 2 Team back in whether you can call it compl complacency or not I think it was possibly more luck than anything the manner of the first goal but after that point I think he he he would feel that his Manchester United plays with their

Quality should manage the game better but he will be delighted with the character they’ve shown 22 a away of the lead two Club after letting a two goal lead slip for them to then recompose themselves go back in front there are positives to take for Manchester United

Yeah absolutely and uh positives as well for for Newport County the 16th in League 2 and uh can be very happy with the way that they’ve performed today yeah they should be very very proud that’s a one proud young man with his hat on supporting his local side I

Think gram Caan’s biggest problem will be keeping hold to be Center forward 11 I think he’s looked really good on the afternoon whether he’s holding the ball up scoring goals getting shots he looks like the real deal especially at this level come from a farmer only two years

Ago and now finds himself scoring a goal against Manchester United Late Bloomer but looks like he could be on the rise again yeah Newport County will uh not play until next weekend they’re at home to Swindon next Saturday Manchester United will be in action in mid midweek there’s a midweek

Round of Premier League fixtures they way to wolves on Thursday wolves also in action earlier today in a black country Derby against West bromich albian at the haon which they won by two goals to nil so both teams are in action on the same day this weekend as the game

Continues medical team look to have everything under control and uh whoever’s been involved in that that we uh we wish them well we wish them a speedy recovery so less than 5 minutes plus added time and I think uh he’s thrown well he’s put all his cards on the table I

Think he’s just got his fingers crossed in his pockets now hasn’t he that something something Falls his team’s way yes he will indeed have his fingers crossed just needs one opportunity and it to fall to the right man whoever that may be but the moment Manchester United

The way this game’s gone and the more open Newport become getting desperate to get back into it the more gaps it leaves at the back man united giv their quality and their talent a bit of composure and they can just cut right through Newport just given away there by Alandra

Martinez Evans desperately hoping the referee would give him the decision there seems pretty adamant Newport Striker feels as though it should have been his ball couple more changes coming now for uh Manchester United in the next minute or two as Eric tenard looks for his team to

Just see out the closing stages of this cup tie here come the changes Harry MaGuire is going to make his return first time in a while we’ve we’ve seen him on for Manchester United Amari forsome is going to come on he came on in added time in the third round to make

His debut Anthony who scored for the first time since last April today makes way Leandro Martinez is going to come off as well it’s a very welcome return I’m sure all Manchester United fans would feel for lissandro Mart Martinez after injury and Maguire back after a groin injury as well first time he’s

Played since the Bayern Munich game in December so Maguire coming on and foron the 19-year-old England under 20 International as well on for his second [Applause] appearance yeah Eric tenh just trying to see this game out bringing Harry MaGuire on big physical presence in the heart of that Manchester United defense he knows

That Ball’s going to be swung in the Box he wants his physicality on Newport County just hoping for a lucky bounce a moment of magic one special moment that could draw them level over it comes it’s uh in towards Palmer Holden and Fernandez back away gets the ball clear doesn’t reach

Garnacho but referee will bring the game back for the challenge on the Manchester United Captain by kiban R yeah there’s a look toward towards the referee Fernandez he stabbed that ball away just tug back he looks in hope to David Cook David Cook Blows the [Applause] Whistle ball played in towards that’s

Momin on the far side side and forson as well challenging throw in Newport County time running very short for them Eric tenh hard’s team almost over the line and into the fifth round of the cup but they’re not quite there Yet I say that they’re not quite there yet that’s definitely the case because I think in the next 15 seconds or so we’re going to see uh a minimum of we are expecting a minimum of nine added minutes and here comes Evans who fires the shot in right across the face of

Alai binder’s goal again will Evans first thought can I get on that trusty left foot can I hit it as it just stumbles into his path here gets it out of his feet go what is fierce strike just whizzes past alai far post that’s what they’ll be hoping

They’ll be hoping if there is another opportunity in this last 9 minutes it falls to that man there because he looks very very clinical for a second there you can see the Turkish goalkeeper just looking and hoping is that going to whistle wide oh they had high hopes for a moment

There when it left his boot as we go into our added time still plenty of time for a chance or two at either [Applause] end oh I think after Anthony getting off the mark a perfect afternoon for Eric tenh hard’s side would be to see hland

On the score sheet as well just to give the young man a bit of confidence that’s bro Fernandez trying to step in and going for it is James weight naturo putting some pressure onto Lewis Payne but Payne the sub’s done really well you got a lucky bounce there can he take advantage of

It Maguire with a sturdy chance challenge Bruno Fernandez newport’s players are scrapping for anything and everything here wait trying to get away from Dogo dallo and he’s done so and the shot takes a deflection and is behind for a home corner and all of a sudden the game just

Got a little bit Scrappy there there’s one side that favors it Newport County have a chance to put this ball in the mixer it’s a Roar of Hope from around the stadium can someone make themselves a hero here Shane mclin’s delivery just hangs in the air and alai gets his gloves on

It yeah similar to the first half just above him plucks it out of the sky sure a few Manchester United players turn around there and just be glad to see the goalkeeper have it in his hands here he’s just trying to take the sting out of the game just let the seconds drift

Away one by pay once more the little flick on by Ry he’s busy in the relatively short time that he’s been on the field weight will chase and Maguire will safely see it over the touch line on the near side [Applause] Dow with the [Applause]

Throw 12 time winners of the FA Cup at the moment heading for the fifth round that’s Maguire winning it Fernandez on Momin forward collected by garnacho into force and trying to force the issue Rasmus Highland puts the tie to bed and gets the goal that he so

Desperately needed he has cut a very frustrated figure throughout the game but he scores Manchester United’s fourth goal of the evening and they will go through to the fifth round they have avoided this league 2 banana skin but New Port County have certainly given

Them a game and it is only in added time that their lead stretches out to 4-2 having been pegged back from a two-goal lead earlier in the match yeah and I just said a couple of moments ago the perfect afternoon we see Rasmus hland on the scor sheet and Eric

Tan’s got that brilliant by Momin here forward pass another good pass as well by gacho eventually finds itself to hland D just Digs at it just a little stabby shot left foot no back lift right into the back of the net it was a good

Save by tanen that led up to it but it was holand that was alert to it a real strike has finished that in amongst all the bodies he’s the first to react and you can see there the passion and what it means to the young man a lot of

Frustration in that def in that in that celebration and rightfully saw yeah really good finish there from Rasmus hland ball collected here by Bren Morris and Still Newport County C still they trying to find a third goal but it’s opening up as you would expect at this late stage as garnacho now finds

Hyand once more holand faced by James Clark and again here’s fernandz Poland trying to tiptoe his way through the whole of the uh Newport County backline Matthew Baker the sub getting it clear won by Baran ahead of Palmer Holden ball then sent High by Willie [Applause] Kamala and that was always the case

Wasn’t it for Newport looking to just try and somehow find a way back into this fixture gaps are going to be left at the back bit composure by Scot Momin couple of good runs and all of a sudden 4-2 and the tie is over this time there’s no way they can climb that

Mountain again coming from two goals behind but they should be proud of themselves yeah it’s been a good cup tie we shouldn’t forget that Newport County were in the Cup tie until very very late in the day header Away by Kobe Mayu as far as garnacho collected by Lewis Payne that’s a decent

Looking ball in pretty [Applause] inviting here comes a late change for the home ins side I think SE Palmer Holden is the player going off there’s a change in Manchester United as well Johnny Evans is coming on but SE Palmer Holden makes [Applause] way and Nathan wood comes on to replace

Him this is a good story actually Nathan wood uh this time last year he was working in a a Newport coffee shop um and here he is playing against the team that he supported throughout his entire he said if when I was serving those cappuccinos a year ago if he’ said to me

I’d be playing against Manchester United in the FA Cup I wouldn’t have believed you because the club had previously let him go as a 17-year-old and here he is now in his mid 20s they brought him back in last summer he’d been playing in the

The Welsh league and now he’ll get a few minutes against Manchester United so big day there for Nathan wood The Substitute yeah nice touch by gr cman putting him on it might only be a two two minut but but he will be able to sa for the rest

Of his life he’s played against Manchester United absolutely A Classy Touch there from the manager that was Momin challenging on the far side Kobe Manu trying to win it back for Manchester United challenge there by Momin free kick Newport py about 90 seconds away from the final whistle

Referee David cot quick on the whistle no argument here it’s got M Tom there big swing at it takes a good chunk and Els I don’t think other Premier League plays will get up quite as quick as the Newport man there once again uh Rodney parade has delivered in terms of a an

Entertaining cup encounter we’ve seen a good few of them over recent years and for a while it was a really good comeback from Newport County wait with a shot brings the save from from alai yeah I think Newport know that Manchester United probably got the height advantage in the middle of that

Box but it’s a Well worked free kick wait looking for that far Corner doesn’t quite find the corner but PS a save out of the Manchester United goalkeeper just looking to bend it right into that far top Corner Al TI equal to it is there one last goal in this tie

Or will Manchester United secure the 4-2 [Applause] Victory thumped away there goes the final whistle it was a brave and spirited effort from Graham cockland side two-nil down inside the opening Court of an hour it looked as if the Cup tie was going to
