Andre Onana – 3
United can’t bash thing with him betwixt the sticks. Can’t beryllium trusted to cod anything.
His other fig Vicario showed him a happening oregon 2 aft returning for the archetypal clip since Spurs thrashed Man City successful November.
At responsibility for the archetypal extremity erstwhile helium palmed retired a comparatively anemic bouncing changeable into Maddison‘s way successful the 13th minute.
Noussair Mazraoui – 5
An OK performance. Clever link-up play with Zirkzee but couldn’t get clasp of Spence down the left-hand side.
Pulled retired an fantabulous transverse for the Dutchman’s headed accidental late-on.
Matthijs de Ligt – 6
His clearance stopped an evident 2-0 earlier the half-an-hour mark.

A mixed bag. Sent a agelong shot implicit the apical for Hojlund’s accidental successful opening 10 minutes and went connected a fewer attacking runs himself successful the archetypal half.
Did good to halt Dejan Kulusevski from having a spell astatine the borderline of the box. But bizarrely stopped successful his tracks erstwhile a transverse came flying into Son Heung-min aboriginal on.
Diogo Dalot – 6
A hard day for the Portugal planetary arsenic Son and Djed Spence near him for dormant a fewer times.
Hesitated erstwhile asked to sprout from 5 yards to marque it 1-0 but helped Onana retired with immoderate clearances too.
Patrick Dorgu – 4
A Prem debut to forget. He was astir invisible from the left-hand side. And lacked prime erstwhile asked to get progressive much successful the 2nd half.
Was stupidly caught offside with Bruno Fernandes offloading a stunning transverse transportation walk and booked late-on for fouling Brennan Johnson albeit aft a mediocre Onana throw.
Casemiro – 5
Looked each spot a subordinate that hasn’t played Premier League football for 2 months. Unsurprisingly booked for a precocious 1 connected Son.
Curiously dropped to the turf asking for a free-kick erstwhile cipher touched him. Was forced to play 91 minutes with 8 teenagers connected the bench. A hard afternoon, indeed.
Casemiro struggled successful the middleBruno Fernandes – 5
Interceptions and breaking up play is not a portion of the captain’s game. An uncharacteristically mediocre transverse near United unfastened connected the counter.
Did get backmost to halt Son from having a changeable astatine Onana connected the hr people and started ticking successful onslaught successful the last 20 minutes.
Alejandro Garnacho – 4
Looked shaky and chopped a frustrated fig aft blazing implicit an implicit SITTER from 10 yards to level the scores.
A spot of a shocker and looked a wholly antithetic subordinate to the 1 who got United into the fifth-round of the FA Cup past week.
Woke up a spot successful the 2nd fractional arsenic Vicario kept him astatine bay with respective superb stops. But the 20-year-old is intelligibly amended disconnected the bench.
Joshua Zirkzee – 6
The champion of a desperately mediocre beforehand three. There’s a thoroughfare subordinate successful determination and he’s large with his touches astatine times.
But curled wide from 23 yards, stuck a header wide successful the 70th infinitesimal and kicked an aerial changeable successful the last 5 minutes.
Rasmus Hojlund – 3
Is Hojlund the worst No 9 successful United’s caller history?
The young Dane, who was unlucky to person a accidental saved by Vicario, was 2nd champion successful each escaped shot and kept losing possession.
He was adjacent caught offside erstwhile Fernandes flicked connected an Onana goal-kick successful the archetypal fractional – however often bash you spot that happen?
