Newcastle midfielder Allan Saint-Maximin scorer, Manchester United’s defense in difficulty, the return of Raphaël Varane … Find our Tops and Flops of Newcastle-Manchester United (1-1).
Tops
The indefatigable Allan Saint-Maximin
Scorer from the 7th minute, the midfielder of the Magpies greatly contributed to the good performance of the Premier League: Manchester United held back at Newcastle. Whether in attack or defense, the former Nice player has never let go to the delight of his supporters. Unfortunately, he had to leave his partners due to a knee injury a few minutes from the end of the match (83rd).
Edinson Cavani, a decisive entry
Without the Uruguayan, Manchester United would have walked away with zero points from St James’Park. It is a paying choice of Ralf Rangnick who sees his replacement find the net in the second period. “El Matador” struck, scoring his second league goal of the season in six appearances. A decisive goal in the Champions League race for the Red Devils.

Flops
Cristiano Ronaldo silent
The Portugal international did not prove to his advantage against a weak side in his own half. No real opportunities for Cristiano Ronaldo who has never had spaces and thus seize his chance. A performance to forget before receiving Burnley at Old Trafford in three days. To resume.
Difficult return for Raphaël Varane
It was not Varane’s best Manchester United version on Monday night. The French central defender showed himself in difficulty when the Magpies played a little higher on the pitch. Alongside Harry Maguire, the former Madrid player seemed to lack benchmarks. This benefited Saint-Maximin from the first seconds of the match.
