Yahoo Sports Manchester United 2-1 Rangers: Player Ratings
Manchester United beat Rangers 2-1 in the Europe League. Here are our player ratings from the game.
(A score of 6 is around average)
Altay Bayindir 7 – Didn’t have much to do. Did well during the few times he was called upon.
Leny Yoro 6 – An OK performance. Looked to pass forward when the opportunity presented itself.
Matthijs de Ligt 7 – Unlucky to have his goal disallowed. Some nice bits of defending, although not very adventurous with his passing.
Lisandro Martinez 8 – Had a powerful shot tipped over during the opening 45 minutes. Astute defending tonight. Sumptuous ball to Fernandes for the late winner.
Amad Diallo 7.5 – Quality as has mostly been the case this season. Looked to make things happen from the right-wing-back role. Should have scored after some excellent bit of play between himself and Fernandes.
Toby Collyer 7 – Impressive on his European debut. Started a bit nervy but grew into the game as it went on and finished strongly. Brilliant work rate and did well in possession.
Bruno Fernandes 9 – Some unbelievable balls in spells of attack, including one to Amad that should have resulted in a United goal. Excellent finish to win the game for United.
Diogo Dalot 5 – Just doesn’t offer enough when he needs to beat a defender. Lost the ball in the first half, triggering a Rangers attack. Also bizarrely kicked the ball out of play in the early stages of the second 45 minutes. Good defensively.
Christian Eriksen 6 – It was his corner-kick that was turned in by Butland to give United the lead. Some nice combinations on the right with Amad but it’s clear he just doesn’t have the legs.
Alejandro Garnacho 6.5 – Very direct and almost found the back of the net on a few occasions. Just lacked the finishing touch. Missed a huge sitter in the second half that could have put the game to bed a lot earlier.
Joshua Zirkzee 4 – Not involved nearly enough. A few good touches but not a goal threat. Failed to convert a big chance that fell to him.
Substitutes
Harry Maguire 4 – Also missed a sitter that could have sealed a comfortable victory for United. Easily nudged off the ball for Rangers’ equaliser. Not strong enough against Cyriel Dessers.
Tyrell Malacia 5 – Just steady.
Kobbie Mainoo 5 – Same as Malacia.
Manuel Ugarte 5 – Also missed a good opportunity that would have seen United win the game a bit more comfortably.
Rasmus Hojlund 5 – One the pitch for a very limited period.
