NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):
7 Pope: Fine early save to deny Zirkzee. Hardly tested in the second half as Magpies took control.

7 Schar: Alongside Burn, allowed Manchester United only 12 touches in the Newcastle box.
7 Burn: Another commanding defensive performance in front of England manager Thomas Tuchel.
8 Livramento: Brilliant charging run down the left led to crucial second goal. Caused Manchester United no end of problems down that flank.
9 TONALI: Brilliant opening goal and crucial challenge to stop Manchester United counter early in the second half. Class.
8 Guimaraes: The best Bruno on the pitch. His goal capped off another all-action midfield display.
8 Joelinton: Brushed off Manchester United players with such ease. The visitors couldn’t handle his power.
8 Murphy: Now on ten Premier League assists. The surprise story of Newcastle’s season. Effective again.
9 Barnes: Only currently on one England cap but could he add another in June? Fine brace in front of Thomas Tuchel.
