UNITED RATED

- BY SAMUEL LUCKHURST

DAVID DE GEA

His recall dominated the team news reaction. Made a solid save. Well beaten by Suso and Luuk de Jong.

WAN-BISSAKA

Blameworth­y for Luuk de Jong’s winner. Needs to watch videos of Joshua Kimmich and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

VICTOR LINDELOF

One of the few players who kept their cool from start to finish and the ‘Iceman’ brought some serenity to the defence.

HARRY MAGUIRE

Let the captaincy go to his head with some pointless protests which led to him losing his focus.

BRANDON WILLIAMS

Found wanting for Suso’s equaliser and Sevilla targeted him all night long after Copenhagen had some joy.

FRED

Much more progressiv­e than he was against Copenhagen and his mobility underpinne­d United’s counter-attacks.

PAUL POGBA

Uncharacte­ristically profligate with his passing before producing a world-class pass Marcus Rashford wasted.

BRUNO FERNANDES

Made it eight penalties out of eight with his 12th goal for United. Played with more arrogance in the second half.

MASON GREENWOOD

Got into dangerous areas often and had a great chance to make it 2-1 just after the restart but was denied.

MARCUS RASHFORD

Won the penalty and stung Yassine Bounou’s palms with a knuckle-ball free-kick. Faded in the second half.

ANTHONY MARTIAL

Classy on the ball again and his reverse pass for Rashford led to the penalty award but squandered several chances.
