Manchester United lost three points off of a top-four place as Marcus Rashford's injury-time goal was not enough.
Casemiro floated a cross to the far post with barely any time left in the game. His attempt went wide of the far post.
A goal at that point would have been harsh on Newcastle, who came close to securing only their second victory at Old United since 1972, but after the Brazilian failed to head the rebound into an empty net, the game ended in a goalless draw.
The host's frustration was summed up by the Portuguese player.
The Portuguese forward shook his head in disgust when he was replaced by the Englishman 18 minutes from the end.
He shook his head until he got to the dug-out, then slumped down in a state of unhappiness.
The personal awards were presented by Sir Alex Ferguson to the two players. He welcomed him warmly before that.
During his 27 years as Manchester United manager, the Scot did not lose in this fixture.
Ten Hag is the sixth man to be given the task of restoring the Old Manchester outfit to its former self.
The early weeks have been a switchback, brilliant against some of the best teams in the world. Christian Eriksen has proved to be an excellent signing.
Without Ten Hag, Manchester United lacked creativity and he missed his first game of the season.
It was deep into the opening period before Antony forced Nick Pope into his first save.
The home side got the ball in the net twice in the second half but both times it was ruled out.
The first was not in accordance with the rules. The second wasn't as clear as the first.
The ball was in play, according to the team-mates. Pope didn't move as the kick was about to be taken.
The referee, Craig Pawson, sided with the England keeper and gave a yellow card to the player who tried to get the ball.
The way the Dutch man marched towards the official at the end of the game was seen by Ten Hag as not being good enough.
It was a good result for the team as they have now drawn with both Manchester clubs.
They should've been in front by now. The only thing the Brazilian had to do was get his effort on target, because De Gea was on the floor trying to make a save, was to head the ball.
Sadly for the visitors, he did not manage it, just as he rushed his second-half shot from a pre-planned corner routine and blasted it into the Stretford End when he had time to do better.
On a ground where they hardly win and have not even secured a point in the last two years, this was one of their better efforts.
Given the recent bad news on the injury front for so many of his right-backs, it's positive that Trippier looks good.
If anyone is going to gate-crash the established top six this season, it's probably going to beNewcastle.
Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds is a predicted opponent.
