Manchester United just ran out 4-0 winners against arch-rivals Liverpool. Thanks to goals from Sancho,Fred, Tony & Pellistri.One might argue its a pre-season friendly but It is always nice to beat your rivals. It is important not to over analyse a friendly and reach certain conclusions about certain players. It was a great game still.
Erik Ten Hag - 7/10
He got most of the decisions right especially the one to play the fullbacks as supporting players. His decisions in the second half were strange, especially the one to play Amad upfront. He will be pleased to see the players adapting to Ten Hag Ball.
DAVID DE GEA 7/10
He was surprisingly good given how bad he was last season.He made some great saves especially in the first half. He did have some shaky moments and he suprised everyone including himself by coming off his line. He was still good.
LUKE SHAW 6/10
He didn't stand out as he usually does but he did show glimpses of Shawberto Carlos. He didn't have much to do defensively but he was still dragged out of position a couple of times especially when the half was about to end. He was very safe with the ball and that's what earns him a 6.
RAPHAEL VARANE 7/10
He was good both on the ball and off the ball although there was shaky moments. He proved why he is better as a cover defender because there was no ball progression on the left side. Let's hope he stays fit this upcoming season.
VICTOR LINDELOF 6/10
Just like Luke Shaw with the only difference that he took risks. He nearly cost the team a goal but was lucky Curtis Jones scuffed the shot.
DIOGO DALOT 7/10
He was better of the two fullbacks although he had his usual shaky moments. He linked well with Sancho on the right. He was unlucky not to score as his shot hit the post.
SCOTT MCcTOMINAY 7/10
It was a usual Scotty Too Hotty performance. He put in the grit even though on some moments he hid from the ball. He was good on the ball interchanging positions with Fred as an Anchor.
FRED 8/10
The first 8 of the ratings. Fred was gonna get a 7 but got an extra point purely off the goal. He was magnificent even though his wandering left the defense a little exposed.
BRUNO FERNANDES 8/10
MARCUS RASHFORD 7/10
Rashford played well and was unlucky not to score. He showed great movement for the chance he scuffed. He was pretty effective and held the width well.
JADON SANCHO 9/10 MOTM 🎖
He was brilliant today. Our most dangerous attacker. His goal was great and was unlucky not to get an assist. His link with Diogo Dalot,Tony & Bruno was great. Im shocked he didn't win official Man Of The Match.
ANTHONY MARTIAL 9/10
The Official MOTM winner. He was brilliant, he linked the play well and was simply unstoppable. Great Finish for the third goal. Ronaldo must go so we can see more of this next season.
Subs :
TOM HEATON 6/10
He came on in the 60th minute and was lucky not to concede. If only Darwin Nunez didn't challenge his inner Timo Werner, we would be speaking a different story. He was pretty average
TYRELL MALACIA
Nothing particularly stood out from his performance apart from the block in the 47th minute. We must also factor in the teammates he played with and the standard of the opponents. I'm excited to see him with better teammates around him next time.
ALEX TELLES 7/10
The guy who made sure we don't get Top 4 is up here and he was pretty good considering he was playing off position. There was a few miskicks here & there but he was pretty decent on the ball.
ERIC BAILLY 8/10
The star of the second half. He had Darwin Nunez deep in his pocket. He carried well out of defense for Pellistri's goal .It's a shame injuries ruined his time here but it will be good for his career that he's leaving.
AARON WAN-BISSAKA 6/10
Just like Malacia,Nothing stood out.He had pretty much nothing to do and when he overlapped, there was no one to find him. He should hope for improvement
ZIDANE & CHARLIE SAVAGE 8/10
They were both pretty great. They worked well together & broke Liverpool's press many times. They did more than hold their own against a quality opponent.
DONNY VAN DE BEEK 4/10
He was the worst player on the pitch today. He was pretty ineffective in Bruno's position. He looked slightly better when he played upfront.Overall a very average performance.
ANTHONY ELANGA 5/10
Considering he is Pellistri & Amad's senior, they shouldn't be outshining him. Just like Donny, he was pretty ineffective. Other than this , there's nothing much to say. Let's hope he plays better when the season starts.
FACUNDO PELLISTRI 7/10
The goalscorer in the second half. Great finish for the goal and he showed why he should be Sancho's backup.Nothing much to say apart from the fact he put in the defensive work.
AMAD DIALLO 6/10
He looked lost for most parts and that's due to the fact he was playing off position. He combined really well with Pellistri for the goal and that's is as good as it get's. Let's hope He gets a good loan move.
WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE FROM THE CURRENT RATINGS ?
