Alan Shearer has chosen the eleven players (and manager) who most impressed him in this past midweek’s round of matches in the top tier.
The player turned pundit naming his Premier League team of midweek.
Alan Shearer including three who stood out for United in the 2-1 win over Man U.
A superb Newcastle United performance, especially when taking into account that Manchester United had an extra man (as well as the referee…) for the majority of the match, following the ridiculous Jacob Ramsey sending off.
Making it a Newcastle United quartet, Alan Shearer also picking out Eddie Howe as his choice of manager, the NUFC boss judging his team selection, tactics and substitutions to perfection
