Altay Bayindir: Handled carefully before Newport scored and had no chance with the goal going wide. Let down by United’s defenders for the equaliser. 6
Diogo Dalot: Contributed little in attack and left his near post clear for Newport to equalize early in the second half. 5
Raphael Varane: Cleaned up a couple of Newport attacking attempts, but failed to cross and prevent Will Evans from scoring. 5
Lisandro Martínez: His line-breaking passes were a reminder that he is as valuable in attack as he is in defense and Martínez carried himself with authority. 7

Luke Shaw: A comeback achieved in his first performance in more than a month. His shot that hit the post was deflected by Antony. 7
Casemiro: He had a good start and his reading was impressive at times, but he lost his rhythm and was cautioned for a rough tackle. 5
Kobbie Mainoo – Scored cleanly on his first goal for United to put them 2-0 up. His season is going from strength to strength. 7
Antony: I skied some efforts during shootaround and continued into the game. It was lucky to be able to stay so long and score his first goal since April. 5
Bruno Fernandes: Striked clinically to put United 1-0 up in the seventh minute and his through balls regularly put United on the attack. 6
Alejandro Garnacho: Hit the crossbar at 2-0 when he should have done better and his decision making was poor for most of the afternoon. 5
Rasmus Hojlund: It was difficult for him to impose himself and he had no chance to stand out until he jumped towards the end. He went ahead and got his reward. 6
Substitutes:
Willy Kambwala: Stable as a full-back. 6
Scott McTominay: Offered energy in midfield. 6
Harry Maguire: late cameo. 5
Omari Forson: Second appearance for United and contributed to the final goal. 6
Jonny Evans: No time to impress. N/A
Coach: Chose a largely logical team, save for the reliable and unreliable Antony, although ironically he scored the winning goal. 6
