Manchester United have taken the lead against Newport in their FA Cup fourth-round fixture, with captain Bruno Fernandes supplying the goods inside the opening seven minutes.
Erik ten Hag named a strong side for the trip to Newport, with Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Luke Shaw all returning to the side after lengthy periods on the sidelines.
But it was Fernandes who would supply the decisive touch after just six minutes played, with the Portuguese international unleashing a fierce strike into the bottom corner, as seen below.

It’s the perfect start for Ten Hag’s men, who will face a trip to either Bristol City or Nottingham Forest if they get past Newport this evening.
