From the highs of Tottenham Hotspur (a) to the lows of Carrow Road, Steve Bruce’s men have had their peaks and troughs already – and we’re only five games (including the Carabao Cup) into the campaign.
While the team may have had their ups and downs, what about the individuals?
Here are all 21 players used by Bruce this season – and their average marks out 10, as per our weekly ratings by NUFC writers Miles Starforth and Liam Kennedy.
It certainly makes for interesting reading. First up are goalkeepers and defenders...
5. Javier Manquillo - 6
Two games - the opener v Arsenal & a cameo at Spurs - and Manquillo makes a steady start to the campaign, probably his last on Tyneside. SEASON IN FULL: 6/x/x/6/x | Getty Images Photo: Alex Livesey
6. Matt Ritchie - 6.25
Injury has cut short the left wing-back's campaign. A shame really as he is the beating heart of this United team. SEASON IN FULL: 6/6/7/6/x | Getty Images Photo: Ian MacNicol
7. Fabian Schar - 6.8
Newcastle's best performing player of the opening weeks. An unbelievable goal on international duty to add to his Watford strike. The defender is on FIRE!! SEASON IN FULL: 6/6/8/7/7 | Getty Images Photo: PAUL FAITH
8. Ciaran Clark - 6
