Newport vs Manchester United LIVE! FA Cup result, match stream and latest updates today | OneFootball

Manchester United survived a major scare as Antony's first goal of the season gave them a 4-2 win over Newport in the FA Cup. Erik ten Hag's side made a strong start to the fourth-round match against League Two opposition, as goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo put them in charge inside 13 minutes.

But Newport responded admirably, halving the deficit before half-time through Bryn Morris and Will Evans then struck shortly after the break to equalise and spark real hope among the home fans of a monumental cup upset. United restored their lead through, midway through the second-half, as Antony converted after Luke Shaw's strike had hit the post. Rasmus Hojlund put the match to bed late on, and the Premier League side will travel to face either Bristol City or Nottingham Forest in the fifth round.

It is a competition that represents United's only hope of finishing the season with some silverware, but the build-up to the match was largely dominated by talk of Marcus Rashford's absence, with the forward missing the match due to illness, having been absent from training on Friday just hours after reportedly attending a nightclub in Belfast. There was no sign of United being distracted though.
