Player ratings: Manchester United 0-0 Newcastle United (Premier League)

Manchester United had a highly frustrating afternoon at Old Trafford, drawing 0-0 with Newcastle United.

With some dubious refereeing calls, some would say United were unlucky. But Ten Hag's men struggled to break down Newcastle's well-drilled defensive structure.

Here is how UtdDistrict rated the players:

First team

David de Gea - 6 /10

Could've been more commanding from Newcastle set pieces, didn't have too much to do otherwise. 

Diogo Dalot - 6.5/10

Solid performance, defended well.

Lisandro Martínez - 6.5/10

Solid performance.

Raphaël Varane - 6.5/10

Sweeps up absolutely everything defensively.

Luke Shaw - 6.5/10

Not as strong as last week but still a decent performance.

Fred - 5/10

Fairly average performance. Kept the ball well for the most part but had some iffy moments under pressure. Should have won the game at the end.

Casemiro - 7/10

Dominant defensively. Nearly produced another game-winning assist with a sublime trivela cross.

Bruno Fernandes - 6.5/10

Looked for Ronaldo too often when other players were better options. Played an excellent ball to Rashford for Fred's chance at the end.

Antony - 6/10

Not his finest performance. Like Bruno, looked for Ronaldo too much and his use of his left foot felt too predictable.

Jadon Sancho - 6.5/10 

Much better performance, looked to create opportunities and drove at his man more frequently, was unlucky not to have a penalty. Still has quite a lot of work to do. 

Cristiano Ronaldo - 6/10

Also unlucky not to earn a penalty, but was quite uninvolved otherwise. Could argue his disallowed goal should've stood.

Substitutes

Marcus Rashford - 6.5/10

Unlucky not to have the game-winning assist, but squandered a golden header towards the end of the game.
