Andre Onana (3/10):

Got United off to a horrible start with his disastrous pass and his confidence was shot for the rest of the game.

Diogo Dalot (4/10):

Could have done more to prevent Bogle’s goal, although let down by Onana’s pass. Bungled a glorious chance by taking too long to shoot.

Harry Maguire (7/10):

An inspired performance against his boyhood club, causing a nuisance in the opposing box and defending his own comfortably.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (6/10):

A comfortable performance to recover confidence after his woeful display against Coventry.

Christian Eriksen (5/10):

Used the ball well but not convincing without it, losing Brereton-Diaz for the Chilean’s goal and being beaten too easily in midfield.

Kobbie Mainoo (6/10):

Had many bright passages of play, taking on responsibility in attack as well as defensively.

Bruno Fernandes (9/10):Preview

Talismanic, both in the way he inspired the team with his body language and in the way he raised his level, scoring a truly stunning goal with his weaker foot.

Alejandro Garnacho (6/10):

Ran hard despite having to come off against Coventry. Set up Maguire’s goal but missed some good chances.

Rasmus Hojlund (6/10):Preview

They held the ball up well and was unconvincing in front of the goal but kept believing and scored for the first time in two months.
