11 Surprising Stats From Man Utd 0-0 Newcastle United
3 - Successful Tackles Made By Aleksandar Mitrovic
On his full Newcastle United debut, Aleksandar Mitrovic showed exactly what he can bring - both offensively and defensively. As well as terrorising the Manchester United defence all afternoon, the 20-year-old Serbian forward also helped his teammates out defensively. In fact, Mitrovic attempted three tackles and he was successful with all of them. For a forward to achieve a 100% tackle completion ratio at Old Trafford, when he was forced to work tirelessly up top by himself for long periods, is mightily impressive.
