Manchester United wasted chances and switched off at the back as they were held 1-1 by AC Milan in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 at Old Trafford this evening. Here are our player ratings for the game:
(A score of 6 is around average.)
Dean Henderson 7 – Did nothing wrong although some would argue De Gea might have saved the goal.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 7 – Defended well and got forward a lot.
Eric Bailly 7 – Defended well until the goal, when he arguably should have been marking Kjaer.
Harry Maguire 5 – Poor performance from Maguire. Was lucky that the two first half goals were disallowed and committed one of the worst misses in football history.
Alex Telles 6 – Did OK.
Nemanja Matic 5 – Mostly poor from Matic,especially in the first half when he failed to protect Maguire on a couple of occasions.
Scott McTominay 5 – Not one of Scott’s most stirring performances. Looked a little out of his depth at times.
Mason Greenwood 6 – Seems to have lost his way despite his immense talent. Having said that, put it on a plate for James to score but other than that, produced little.
Bruno Fernandes 6 – An average performance from Bruno.
Dan James 6 – Worked hard but just doesn’t convince. Terrible miss in the second half.
Anthony Martial 7 – Shame he got injured as he was looking as if he was coming into some form at last.
Substitutes
Amad Diallo 8 – What a goal. Instant impact from the mercurial Ivorian.
Fred 6 – Didn’t have much chance to influence the game.
Luke Shaw 6 – Didn’t have much chance to influence the game.
Brandon Williams 6 – Didn’t have much chance to influence the game.
