UNITED RATED BY TYRONE MARSHALL

-

DAVID DE GEA

Made two solid first-half stops but his second-half save from Trigueros was outstandin­g. Bailing out United managers.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA

Looks devoid of confidence. Passing was average and twice caught in possession in dangerous areas.

VICTOR LINDELOF

Ball seemed to be attracted to him in the second half. Stood up well to the task and tried to play out from the back.

HARRY MAGUIRE

Much better than in recent weeks. Good on the ball and defended calmly. A performanc­e he badly needed.

ALEX TELLES

Caught out positional­ly a couple of times but much better going forward than Wan-Bissaka on the right.

FRED

Shuffled across to left midfield when United were out of possession. Got through a lot work. Pressing created first goal.

SCOTT McTOMINAY

Tried to drive forward in possession and didn’t always have many options. Solid and secure as defensive midfielder.

DONNY VAN DE BEEK

Led the press in first half, but as United retreated under pressure he drifted out of the game.

ANTHONY MARTIAL

Slammed the ball to the turf in anger midway through the first half and it summed up his night. Cut a frustrated figure.

JADON SANCHO

Playing more right midfield than right-wing. Buried his chance for first goal for club. A good night for him.

CRISTIANO RONALDO

Discipline­d display and played part in collective defensive effort, before turning up on the big occasion once again.

SUBSTITUTE­S

BRUNO FERNANDES: (Van de Beek, 66) Injected some fizz into United’s attacking play and they improved when he came on. 7

MARCUS RASHFORD: (Martial, 66) Bright when he came on and offered more than Martial had in less than half the time. 6

JUAN MATA: (Sancho, 90)

NEMANJA MATIC: (Ronaldo, 90)

NOT USED: Bailly, Lingard, Amad, Dalot, Heaton, Henderson
