Manchester United 3-0 Newcastle: The hosts start brightly at a packed Old Trafford with Nani providing some early signs of danger for the Newcastle defence
Newcastle's Andy Carroll battles for possession with Paul Scholes as the newly-promoted visitors manage to survive the opening half hour without conceding despite further pressure from Sir Alex Ferguson's men
Manchester United take a deserved lead in the 33rd minute as Dimitar Berbatov drills home a low shot under Steve Harper after being released by Scholes
The hosts double their lead in the 41st minute as Newcastle fail to clear the danger and the ball finds Darren Fletcher who fires home from inside the six-yard box
Substitute Ryan Giggs makes a dramatic appearance from the bench - picking up Scholes' pass and volleying home Man Utd's third goal in style
The 85th-minute goal makes sure that Giggs extends his remarkable record of scoring in every season since the Premier League's inception in 1992
Sir Alex shows his satisfaction at the final whistle after seeing his side open the new Premier League season with a comfortable 3-0 win over the Magpies
