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:
Could've been more commanding from Newcastle set pieces, didn't have too much to do otherwise.
Solid performance, defended well.
Solid performance.
Sweeps up absolutely everything defensively.
Not as strong as last week but still a decent performance.
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.
Advert
Dominant defensively. Nearly produced another game-winning assist with a sublime trivela cross.
Looked for Ronaldo too often when other players were better options. Played an excellent ball to Rashford for Fred's chance at the end.
Not his finest performance. Like Bruno, looked for Ronaldo too much and his use of his left foot felt too predictable.
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.
Also unlucky not to earn a penalty, but was quite uninvolved otherwise. Could argue his disallowed goal should've stood.
Unlucky not to have the game-winning assist, but squandered a golden header towards the end of the game.
