11 Things We Learned From Swansea Vs Newcastle

5. The Magpies Can't Deal With Headers

That's two games and three headers conceded. It doesn't seem to matter if they come from set pieces or open play, United can't deal with them. Last week Chancel Mbemba was caught out by a looping cross that was dispatched by Graziano Pellè, but this week it was captain Fabricio Coloccini that was left flat footed after half-heartedly trying to deal with a pin point Montero delivery that former United target Andre Ayew, 5 ft 9 in Andre Ayew by the way (!), powered past Tim Krul. Newcastle have been linked with a move for 6 ft 6 in Werder Bremen centre back Jannik Vestergaard, and his height, and probable ability to deal with balls in the air, would go a long way to solving this obvious problem for Untied.
