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...
13. Jonjo Shelvey - 5.66
The midfielder was meant to be the United 'playmaker' he's ended up being a benchwarmer. Injury has not helped. SEASON IN FULL: 6/6/x/5/x | Getty Images Photo: Ian MacNicol
14. Isaac Hayden - 6.4
Probably United's most consistent midfielder this season. His energy is infectious. Has been tasked with covering Mo Diame's yards - and isn't too far off. SEASON IN FULL: 6/7/7/6/6 | Getty Images Photo: Ian MacNicol
15. Sean Longstaff - 6.25
Not hit the heights of last season but is playing a very different role. Still feeling his way back after injury. Yards covered, among other stats, incredible this season. SEASON IN FULL: 6/6/7/x/6 | Getty Images Photo: Mark Runnacles
16. Matty Longstaff - 7
Steve Bruce was impressed with his debut - and it's fair to say there's a lot to like about the kid brother of Sean Longstaff. SEASON IN FULL: x/x/x/7/x | Getty Images Photo: Ian MacNicol
