David de Gea
Well beaten by Dwight Gayle as he conceded a home league goal for the first time since April but made a crucial save from Isaac Hayden to preserve United's half-time lead. 7
Antonio Valencia
Should have had an assist with an early cross for Romelu Lukaku but the Belgian shot over. Had to effectively occupy two roles due to United's right wing issues. 6
Victor Lindelof
At fault for Gayle's goal and looked insecure. One cross for Lukaku was a glimpse of what he could bring to the attack. 5
Chris Smalling
All over the place for the goal and still looks unsteady next to Lindelof. Stooped indomitably to put United ahead late in the first-half. 6
Ashley Young
Provided the cross for another vital goal to sustain his good form after an atypically shaky start when he got caught out for Gayle's strike. 7
Paul Pogba
United might be 'The Paul Pogba Team'. An outstanding comeback from the Frenchman, who shimmied like Zinedine Zidane to set up Anthony Martial and killed off Newcastle. 9
Nemanja Matic
Got swamped by Newcastle's counter-attack early on but eventually settled and improved once United got a foothold in the game. 6
Juan Mata
Failed to take his chance as the No.10 and was shifted to the right. Tidy throughout without ever concerning the visitors' defence. 6
Marcus Rashford
Pointless starting him on the right wing. Rashford was still full of endeavour and provided a classy and clever header for Pogba. 7
Anthony Martial
Got up well to nod in United's equaliser and was enterprising on the left flank. Did enough to merit another go there against Brighton on Saturday. 7
Romelu Lukaku
Missed a chance early on he would likely have converted in August. Hold up play was better, did superbly for Pogba's goal and ended his drought. 7
Subs
Marouane Fellaini
Steady in midfield. 6
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Looked fit and sharp. Forced a save. 7
Ander Herrera
Helped secure United's lead. 6
