Manchester United player ratings vs Newcastle as one player scores 1/10 in another defeat

Manchester United lost for the ninth time in the Premier League this season as Newcastle inflicted a fifth defeat in six league games on Ruben Amorim's side.

United capitulated in the first 20 minutes, conceding headers from Alexander Isak and Joelinton. Sandro Tonali had a glorious chance to put Newcastle 3-0 up but struck the post.

After the 33rd-minute removal of Joshua Zirkzee for Kobbie Mainoo, United created opportunities but fired blanks for the third match running. Harry Maguire came the closest with a second-half header that hit the upright.

Here are how the United players rated:

Andre Onana

Beaten from two more crosses as United capitulated in the first 20 minutes. Managed to beat a corner away. 5

Matthijs de Ligt

His reputation was enhanced by virtue of not playing in recent defeats. United were not better with the plodding De Ligt. 4

Harry Maguire

Failed to keep tabs on Alexander Isak when he nodded in for 1-0 on four minutes. 4

Lisandro Martinez

A mismatch in the duel with Joelinton that led to the second goal. Played Rasmus Hojlund in for United's first chance but on a night he captained United he lacked authority. 4

Noussair Mazraoui

Both of Newcastle's first-half goals came down Mazraoui's side and his existence as a winger in this system needs to end. 4

Casemiro

Could and maybe should have come off instead of Joshua Zirkzee. The worst Brazilian midfielder on show by a distance. Missed a great chance just before half-time. 2

Christian Eriksen

A dubious inclusion who was completely overwhelmed by Newcastle's physicality. This will be his last season at the club. 4

Diogo Dalot

Got a few tackles in early on and had the better of Jacob Murphy as Newcastle focused on feeding Lewis Hall and
