11 Surprising Stats From Man Utd 0-0 Newcastle United

15 - Fouls Committed By Man Utd, Four More Than NUFC Gave Away

For an away side to head to Old Trafford and leave having committed less fouls than the home team is an incredible stat - and that's exactly what Newcastle achieved. Manchester United made 15 fouls during the match, with Matteo Darmian their worst offender having given away three. Newcastle on the other hand committed just 11 offences during the game, with Vurnon Anita and Aleksandar Mitrovic both guilty of giving away three fouls each. Few teams who enjoy just 33.9% possession at Old Trafford this season will leave Manchester having committed fewer fouls than the home side, that's for certain.
