Manchester United vs Brentford: Players Ratings for this game
Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay emerged hero as he scored a brace to give United a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Brentford.
Here are the players’ rating from the game:
ANDRE ONANA -2
The Cameroonian seems to have forgotten how to be a goalie. Another error as he let a shot slide through his hand to gift Brentford the lead. A poor showing by all standards.
DIOGO DALOT – 6
Did well to stop Brentford from getting a second when he sensed danger and retreated to the goalline to stop Christian Norgaard’s header. Good defensive play.
HARRY MAGUIRE – 6
The Englishman inclusion was surprising, but he put in a good performance
JONNY EVANS – 7
The Northern Irishman showed no rustiness in his first start back at United when he was man of the match at Burnley and looked similarly assured here. It was his first start at Old Trafford since February 2015.
VICTOR LINDELOF – 5
Thrusted in as a makeshift right back, but struggled a lot and the gave away the ball for Brentford’s goal. He was finally subbed as we chased an equaliser.
CASEMIRO – 2
By far too sloppy for his standard. Gave the ball away twice for Brentford’s goal. Hooked off at half-time.
SOFYAN AMRABAT- 5
Shifted out of the left-back position which he clearly cannot play in. Mind you he was hardly a world beater in midfield on this occasion.
BRUNO FERNANDES – 6
Never as effective on the right as he is in the middle but always wanting and using the ball. Had a good effort well saved in the second-half.
MASON MOUNT – 5
What does he do, where does he play, why did we buy him? The questions were swirling round again after another underwhelming performance.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 4
His place was in doubt for this game. He looks a shadow of the player who scored 30 goals last season. Subdued and subbed off for the third game running.
RASMUS HOJLUND – 6
The Dane’s double against Galatasaray showed that if you give him the chances he will take them. Unfortunately, he found chances hard to come by.
Subs
CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN – 5 (for Casemiro 45): On to try and add a bit more creation but it didn’t happen.
ANTONY (for Mount 62) – 5: Brought on to give an injection of pace and trickery but apart from a customary cut in and shot wide there was little.
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO – 5 (for Rashford 62): Usually makes an impression late in games. Not on this occasion.
ANTHONY MARTIAL – 5 (for Lindelof 71): Asked to change the game. Not surprisingly he didn’t. His slight touch in an offside position initially denied McTominay before the equaliser came.
SCOTT MCTOMINAY – 9(for Amrabat 87): Unbelievable! Came on late and gave the team an extra push. Grabbed two goals in injury time for another incredible Old Trafford late show.
