6 - Number Of Occasions Memphis Was Dispossessed, More Than Any Other Player
There was not a single Newcastle player dispossessed more than twice on Saturday, perhaps unsurprisingly given that the visitors enjoyed just a third of the possession, yet two of Manchester United's attacking talents were guilty of losing the ball on nine occasions collectively. While Wayne Rooney lost the ball on three occasions, Memphis was dispossessed a staggering six times. Those figures show how tirelessly NUFC defended in order to record their first shutout of the season.
