Manchester United Players Rated In Draw Vs Newcastle United
David de Gea 6
Lucky to have kept a clean sheet as Joelinton’s back-to-back headers from point-blank range came off the woodwork. Poor ball distribution.
Luke Shaw 6
Decent defensively but had little to no output on the attacking front.
Raphael Varane 6
He made some crucial interceptions and tackles to stop the Newcastle attackers from finding the back of the net.
Lisandro Martinez 6
As solid as a rock at the heart of United’s backline. Hardly put a foot wrong.
Diogo Dalot 6.5
United’s best defender who put in plenty of effort both offensively and defensively, but his decision-making was poor today.
Casemiro 5
Lost count of how many times he gave away the ball at the centre of the park.
Fred 4
Horrendous performance from the Brazilian midfielder. He kept losing the ball time and again and missed a big chance in the closing moments of the match.
Bruno Fernandes 7
The Portuguese Magnifico was Manchester United’s main source of creativity in the attacking half as he played some wonderful passes to slice open Newcastle’s defence.
Jadon Sancho 6.5
Should have gotten a penalty.
Antony 6.5
Direct and highly effective in terms of getting the ball up the pitch down the right side of the pitch, but his Hollywood passes led him down.
Cristiano Ronaldo 4
A frustrated figure at the top of the pitch who throws up his hands and acts like a crybaby after every missed opportunity.

Marcus Rashford 4
Missed a golden opportunity to secure all three points for his team.
