United were left frustrated at Old Trafford as Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle held the Reds to a 1-1 draw on the opening weekend of the season. Having gone 0-1 down to Obafemi Martins’ 22nd-minute opener, the Reds responded instantly through Darren Fletcher. However, United were unable to make the most of large periods of dominance over the 90 minutes. Portsmouth 0 - Man. Utd. 0 United won a record 13th Charity Sheild against a poor Portsmouth team. Apart from 2 clear cut chances missed by Fletcher and a disallowed penalty for Tevez, this was a game to forget. United eventually won it on penalties by 3-1.
