11 Surprising Stats From Man Utd 0-0 Newcastle United

4.1% - Possession Enjoyed By Georginio Wijnaldum, More Than Any Other NUFC Outfield Player

Juan Mata led the way with a mammoth 8.9% of the possession, while Morgan Schneiderlin (7.8%), Daley Blind (7.0%), Memphis (6.2%) and Bastian Schweinsteiger (5.7%) all enjoyed significant time on the ball. In terms of how much time Newcastle players were on the ball, goalkeeper Tim Krul held it for the longest with 4.8% possession. It was Georginio Wijnaldum, the Magpies' No 10, who led the way in the outfield though, holding on to possession for 4.1% of the time the ball was in play at Old Trafford. Jack Colback (3.8%) enjoyed the second-most possession, while Ayoze Perez (3.2%) and Chancel Mbemba (3.2%) were joint-third for NUFC.
