The teenager found himself in bags of space before turning casually into the bottom corner.
Anthony Gordon produced a fine finish on the full to level the Toon.
But Amad Diallo put the Red Devils back in front with his superb powerful strike – clean as a whistle through a crowd of bodies after being given too much space on the corner of the box – for his first Premier League goal.
Sub Rasmus Hojlund made it 3-1 moments after coming on as he worked the ball on to his right foot and found the bottom corner.
And that proved the winner as Lewis Hall grabbed a late second for Newcastle to spark a nervy finale.
