3. Massadio Haidara - 7.5
Massadio Haidara had a point to prove today and he made it. The defender has struggled this season and with Paul Dummett returning to fitness in the near future, a good performance was critical. The 22-year-old managed Manchester United's right side very well and his attacking play was precise and direct. Haidara will have given Steve McClaren a real decision to make if Dummett returns this week and once again represents Newcastle's healthy squad depth.
