David de Gea
Made a huge double save from Aleksander Isak and Joe Willock but playing out from the back led to Newcastle regaining the ball and scoring. 7
Diogo Dalot
Started maybe only because Aaron Wan-Bissaka was unwell and was again uncomfortable against Allan Saint-Maximin. Dragged inside for Joe Willock's goal. 4
Raphael Varane
Defended solidly amid Newcastle's dominance in the first half but failed to act quickly enough to get in front of Willock. 5
Lisandro Martinez
One of the few who looked their usual selves as Newcastle created the standout first half chances and had the right mentality. 6
Luke Shaw
A ten-day break between games served as no benefit for the left-back, who was regularly targeted. A regressive afternoon. 3
Scott McTominay
Still mired in an identity crisis at club level. It was unclear if McTominay was supposed to defend or attack and he barely did either. 4
Marcel Sabitzer
The deeper of the two midfielders but Newcastle still found the gaps that Sabitzer was supposed to plug and could not. 4
Antony
Had the measure of Dan Burn but did not maximise it and his dawdling audibly exasperated the United followers. Came off on the hour. 5
Bruno Fernandes
Disconnected from the midfield and the attack all afternoon and not motivational enough from the captain against raucous opponents. 3
Marcus Rashford
Struggled to get going so much he swapped wings with Antony and had no joy against the more cumbersome Burn. Ineffectual. 3
Wout Weghorst
There are times when United players appear reluctant to give the ball to Weghorst and his dire form continued with another harmless performance. 2
Subs
Anthony Martial
Cleared one off the line and saw a shot deflected wide. 6
Jadon Sancho
Did nothing to get United going in attack. 5
Fred
Came on too late. 5
Victor Lindelof
Header went over. 5
Facundo Pellistri
Did little. 5
Manager
Got the midfield selection wrong for the third domestic matchweek running by not starting Fred. United were too loose too often and lucky not to have conceded before Willock nodded in. Did little to address the midfield. 3
