UNITED RATED BY SAMUEL LUCKHURST

DAVID DE GEA

Culpable for maybe four of the six goals he has let in this season. A keeper who has not adapted.

DIOGO DALOT

Powerless against Brentford’s power players and overhit too many crosses. Did find Ronaldo a couple of times but it was 4-0.

HARRY MAGUIRE

No leadership and no clue. Showed next to no alertness amid United’s intentions to play out from their own third.

LISANDRO MARTINEZ

The doubters now appear to include Erik ten Hag, who hooked Martinez at half-time after he was given a going over.

LUKE SHAW

Should not have started and does not appear remotely aligned with Ten Hag’s approach.

CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN

Eriksen is a playmaker, a midfielder and sometimes a winger. He is not a defensive midfielder.

FRED

One of Scott McTominay and Fred had to be sacrificed and Fred was worse without McTominay.

JADON SANCHO

Evidence of how misleading and meaningless pre-season is. He was more anonymous than against Brighton.

BRUNO FERNANDES

Skied a presentable chance at 1-0 and appears out of kilter from what Ten Hag wants from a No.10.

MARCUS RASHFORD

Ten Hag said he ‘loves’ Rashford but there is currently little to love on matchday. Looks shot.

CRISTIANO RONALDO

He was truly trying to put some respect on the scoreline and spurned a few good chances in the second half. SUBSTITUTES TYRELL MALACIA: (Shaw, 45) An upgrade on Shaw. 5

RAPHAEL VARANE: (Martinez, 45) United’s best defender on the day. 5

SCOTT MCTOMINAY: (Fred, 45) Booked. 4 ANTHONY ELANGA: (Sancho, 60) No impact. 4 DONNY VAN DE BEEK: (Eriksen, 87) Late arrival. NOT USED: Heaton, Wan-Bissaka, Garner, Garnacho
