UNITED RATED BY SAMUEL LUCKHURST

-

DAVID DE GEA

Could do nothing about Tielemans’ curler and denied the Belgian in the second half. Made two more saves.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA

Another positive performanc­e for him on an individual basis that counts for little after the final score.

VICTOR LINDELOF

A secure outing until he clumsily cleaned out Jamie Vardy and was booked. He then seemed troubled.

HARRY MAGUIRE

Played the first pass he received out for a throw, skinned by Iheanacho and then robbed by him for equaliser.

LUKE SHAW

Constantly involved in attacks without having a leading role in them and could not contain Leicester’s forward thrusts.

NEMANJA MATIC

Read the game expertly and passed adventurou­sly until he was robbed of the ball and Tielemans had effort saved.

PAUL POGBA

Caught out far too many times and left Matic to do the defensive work on his own. Had no influence in final third.

MASON GREENWOOD

A great goal and United’s biggest attacking threat but the shoot-on-sight policy was unjustifie­d thereafter.

BRUNO FERNANDES

Impatient and wasteful too often. His inability to control a game is now problemati­c and he could have been taken off.

JADON SANCHO

The first half was one of gradual progress and he fashioned a chance for Ronaldo, but no real width.

CRISTIANO RONALDO

Squandered a great opening at 1-0 and took up some strange positions, dropping off or moving wide. Impotent.

SUBSTITUTE­S

MARCUS RASHFORD: (Sancho, 65) Finished clinically to level it up at 2-2 on first game back 6 SCOTT McTOMINAY: (Matic, 80) A belated arrival 5

JESSE LINGARD: (Greenwood, 80) Had a shot at goal 5

SUBS NOT USED: Bailly, Mata, Dalot, Henderson, Telles, Van de Beek
