Player Ratings

DAVID DE GEA 5

Nothing the Spaniard could do as United’s back five fell apart in front of his eyes in first half. Lacklustre for third.

VICTOR LINDELOF 5

A sense that he could never have a full eye on his own job because of the errors being committed by others nearby.

LUKE SHAW 5

A centre half who kept gravitating to left back to cover Telles. Left himself exposed for the second goal.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA 4

All at sea for Leipzig’s first two goals and led a merry dance by Manchester City loanee Angelino.

SCOTT McTOMINAY 7

The one man who truly stood up under pressure. Drove forward and was determined to try to push hosts back.

NEMANJA MATIC 5

Leipzig’s midfield moved the ball too quickly for Matic, who was left chasing shadows as the Germans took control.

ALEX TELLES 4.5

Hooked at half-time after a haphazard display. Telles was sacrificed as Solskjaer switched to a back four.

BRUNO FERNANDES 7

Produced some quality, thumping the bar just before Leipzig’s third and scoring penalty that gave United hope.

MASON GREENWOOD 7

Might feel he could have scored in the first half. United’s brightest spark going forward and won the penalty.

MARCUS RASHFORD 6

The ball never truly dropped for Rashford, whose threat was largely nullified by Leipzig.

SUBSTITUTES

Van de Beek 6 (for Telles 46min), Pogba 6 (for Matic 61), Williams n 6 (for Shaw 61), Tuanzebe (for Lindelof 77), Fosu-Mensah (for Wan-Bissaka 78). Not used: Henderson, Grant, Bailly, Ighalo, James, Lingard, Mata.

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER 5

A real problem that he could not get a reaction from these players.
