Manchester United played a goalless draw with Newcastle United. We unfold the player ratings for the starting XI of Manchester United.
Manchester United player ratings | David de Gea – 6
David de Gea made his 500 appearance against Newcastle United and Sir Alex Ferguson presented him with an award. The goalkeeper kept a clean-sheet but gave the ball away on numerous occasions whenever he attempted to distribute the ball to Luke Shaw.
Luke Shaw – 5
Shaw was solid defensively but hardly contributed on the offense. He made too many backwards passes which affected creativity upfront.
Lisandro Martinez – 7
Martinez was solid at the heart of defense alongside Verane. Accordingly, he won almost every aerial duel during the course of the match and kept a clean-sheet for Manchester United.
Raphaël Verane – 7
Similarly to Martinez, the Frenchman was solid at the heart of defense and kept a clean-sheet. However, Verane gave the ball away on few occasions when he attempted long balls.
Diogo Dalot – 6
Dalot was fairly good. He made some good runs offensively. The Portuguese did not do too many mistakes.
Carlo Casemiro – 5
Carlo Casemiro played well. However, there was lack of creativity in the team but the Brazillian played a quality cross to Marcus Rashford in the final seconds of the match but the latter headed wide.
Fred – 2
Fred had a poor game. He gave the ball too many times and lacked creativity. More so, the Brazillian missed a glorious opportunity in the final stages when he missed an open net.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
Bruno Fernandes was average. There was lack of creativity on the part of the Portuguese. However, he did not give the ball away when attempting to play a long as he usually does.
Jadon Sancho – 3
Jadon Sancho was quite during the course of the match. He hardly made any runs, forward passes or to even attempt to get involved in the match.
Antony Santos – 6
Antony showed quality with forward runs and step-overs. However, he lacked killer instinct largely because he made poor shots off target.
Cristiano Ronaldo – 5
Cristiano was not involved in many parts of the match. Chiefly, this was largely because he did not get any service or opportunities from the midfield.
