Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was upbeat after their 0-0 draw with Newcastle.
United finished the match the stronger team.
Ten Hag said, "The performance was good, a clean sheet, we pressed well, we controlled the game and in stages we were good on the ball - especially in the second half.
"Then, we dictated the game and in the end we could - we should - have score the winning goal. One from Fred, and then [Marcus] Rashford had to score.
"In the end we could have got the win, we deserved the win, and it is a big compliment to the team that we deserved this with a physical performance against one of the most physical teams in the league. They [Newcastle players] all had cramp and we kept going.
"The team understands from front to back we cooperate together. We are hard to beat and we must keep that going."
