Ruben Amorim was not afraid to take some major risks during Manchester United\u2019s win over Newcastle United.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After frustrating results against Bournemouth and Aston Villa, Manchester United beat Newcastle United 1-0<\/a> to return to winning ways in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Patrick Dorgu scored the winner<\/a> in style with his first goal at Old Trafford and United showed resilience to hold off Newcastle late in the match despite having a very inexperienced defence.<\/p>\n

Amorim hinted that he would trust in youth<\/a> against Newcastle, and he delivered on that promise with United ending the match with several youngsters on the pitch.<\/p>\n

The substitutions made in the second half were questioned by Gary Neville, and it seems Casemiro<\/a> was also surprised by Amorim\u2019s decision-making.<\/p>\n

Last week, Casemiro was suspended and missed the trip to Aston Villa and he was a huge miss in midfield, especially as Kobbie Mainoo was injured and Bruno Fernandes had to come off.<\/p>\n

Casemiro returned to the starting line-up against Newcastle<\/a>, but he was taken off and replaced by Leny Yoro on the hour mark.<\/p>\n

According to Sky Sports<\/a>: \u201cCasemiro seemed shocked to be the one going off. It is Dalot and Dorgu as the wide players with full-backs behind them now. Amorim springing surprise after surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amorim took off Benjamin Sesko and Casemiro, and introduced several youngsters to the line-up, including academy graduates Jack Fletcher and Tyler Fredricson.<\/p>\n

In the final few minutes, Amorim took off Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw \u2013 two of United\u2019s most senior players \u2013 and put his faith in Tyrell Malacia and Fredricson.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim is showing complete faith in full squad<\/p>\n

Knowing that Fernandes is out for a month with a hamstring injury, Amorim called on players to step up<\/a> and become leaders in his absence.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s record without Fernandes<\/a> is bleak, but the players who were available dug deep and showed brilliant spirit to not only win, but also to keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

Amorim showed complete trust in all his players and he got the response he was looking for.<\/p>\n

As players return from injury \u2013 and AFCON duty \u2013 United will only get better. In the meantime, fringe players are stepping up and showing their value.<\/p>\n
