Newcastle United vs Manchester United; 5 Key Talking Points

Manchester United really need to show up if they are to secure a top 4 finish

#3 Martin Dubravka sparkles on debut

Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League
Now, that's how you perform on debut

Martin Dubravka arrived from Sparta Prague on a loan deal (with a £4 million clause for a permanent deal in the contract) and if the Slovak continues to play like he did against Manchester United, he'd be a steal.

The Slovak international did superbly to deny Anthony Martial one-on-one, pulled off a stunning last-minute save off Michael Carrick's close-range effort, and dominated his box whenever United swung a set-piece or a cross in.

With Florian Lejeune and Jamal Lascelles also putting in excellent shifts (the former especially superb - his clearance of Sanchez's effort was immense) Rafael Benitez may have just stumbled upon the combination that can lay the foundation for a strong finish to the season.
