David de Gea
His save from Allan Saint-Maximin was all the more crucial as Casemiro scored minutes later. Clawed away a late Bruno Guimaraes header. 7
Diogo Dalot
Booked for a cynical foul on Saint-Maximin early on and was skinned by him for Newcastle's best chance at 0-0. Substituted at half-time. 5
Raphael Varane
Fared better against Newcastle than at St James last season and his understanding with Lisandro Martinez was crucial again. 7

Lisandro Martinez
Brave challenge on Fabian Schar denied a possible goal and he was not remotely fazed by the occasion. One of the few who managed the game sensibly at 2-0. 8
Luke Shaw
Crossed brilliantly for Casemiro to nod in and make it 1-0 and although Kieran Trippier delivered dangerously at times Shaw was largely vigilant. 7
Casemiro
Influential whenever he got on the ball and he rose to beat Loris Karius. Effective on and off the ball. 8
Fred
Energetic and combative in a Brazil-centric midfield until he came off three-quarters into the game. 6
Antony
Collaborated productively at times with Dalot and toyed with Dan Burn while Newcastle heads were down towards the end of the first half. 6
Bruno Fernandes
Tidy on the ball in the first half without having a palpable impact over the course of the afternoon and his game management was too often poor. 6
Marcus Rashford
Forced the second goal when it deflected in off Sven Botman and had a shot saved securely by Karius. 6
Wout Weghorst
Missed two presentable opportunities and he was more effective from deep, assisting Rashford and drawing a good stop from Karius. 6
