Newcastle 0 Manchester United 1 player ratings Moussa Sissoko Like the rest of his midfield he was forced to defend which he did so ably. 6
Newcastle 0 Manchester United 1 player ratings Sammy Ameobi Had a few forays down the field but otherwise spent his game holding down the left flank. 6

Newcastle 0 Manchester United 1 player ratings Emmanuel Riviere Had very little to do. Should have won a penalty but was otherwise uninvolved. 5

Newcastle 0 Manchester United 1 player ratings Ander Herrera Plays as the more offensive of United’s central midfield, he wasn’t as effective as he has been. Couldn’t spring a United attacker and was dispossessed in a very risky position at one point. 5
Newcastle 0 Manchester United 1 player ratings Daley Blind Held the midfield together well. Spread the ball around nicely. 6
Newcastle 0 Manchester United 1 player ratings Angel Di Maria He cannot find an inch of form. Continued to hit plenty of errant passes and his crossing was well off the mark. Replaced by Janazai early in the second half. 3

"We created chances, we kept the ball and we didn't give a lot of chances away - I think only one in the first half, in the last minute. But now we are very happy.
