Manchester United suffered a 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Here are our player ratings from the game.
(A score of 6 is around average)
Senne Lammens 4Â – Didn’t cover himself in glory for either goals, especially the second one.
Diogo Dalot 4 – Inadequate for Atletico Madrid’s opening goal, having been drawn out of position. He endured some shaky defensive moments and did not get forward sufficiently to contribute in attack.
Leny Yoro 3 – A last-man challenge earned him a red card after a strong showing, though the decision looked harsh given the contact. His sending off all but confirmed United’s loss.
Lisandro Martinez 5 – Slightly better than he was last weekend during the draw vs. Tottenham Hotspur.
Ayden Heaven 4.5 – Performed as could be expected in a largely unfamiliar left-back role. Predictably, there was precious little on offer from him in an attacking sense and he was outdone by Jonathan David for Atletico’s second of the game.
Carlos Baleba 6 – He followed his memorable debut with a decent performance, proving good both on and off the ball. He recovered possession repeatedly and looked to make things happen.

Andrey Santos 3 – He laboured badly on his return to the XI, clearly lacking fitness. He was careless with the ball and second to every duel. A poor outing for the Brazilian.
Youri Tielemans 4 – He set up opportunities for Mbeumo and Fernandes, yet that was the extent of his contribution. Once again, he fell short without the ball and must offer far more to help the team.
Bruno Fernandes 4Â – A crack off the woodwork aside, he was a bystander. He never grew into the game from the right, and the freedom Grimaldo enjoyed down that flank was impossible to ignore.

Marcus Rashford 2 – A dreadful display. He was unable to beat his man and his defensive work rate fell short. Overall, a poor showing.

Bryan Mbeumo 3 – He missed two very good opportunities that could perhaps have altered the picture for United. He was awful on the ball and contributed nothing in the second half.
Substitutes
Joshua Zirkzee 4 – No impact whatsoever.
Mason Mount 4 – Every bit as ineffective as Zirkzee: a nothing substitute who did nothing to help United’s cause.
Amad 5 – Bright when he came on, though Atletico’s second flattened both him and United.
Matheus Cunha 5 – On for the dying embers. The game was already lost.
Defeat on the road. https://t.co/HeITelI9AT

Harry Maguire 5 – Same as Cunha.

Night to forget by MU. Not only the players played badly , its was Carrick and his assistance are the really culprit and a fool for their poor selection of players. Like Tielemans he had played badly last week yet he played first XI , Carrick considered him cos he is the only player who has the experience in European league. Seem that is also rubbish and same goes to Rashford who was said experiencefrom playing for Barcelona , exactly he is nothing. Carrick and his assistance made the same mistakes again and again for players selection. Its time for Carrick to be repaced if he continue wirh his stupid selection of players.
