Man United Player Ratings: Cunha 2, disaster as Sesko 8, shines in Everton draw
Manchester United were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with strong attacking moments offset by defensive mistakes and inconsistent individual displays. Here are the player ratings from the contest.
Player Ratings
Senne Lammens – 4/10
Lammens looked uncertain in crucial situations and could have done more to prevent Everton’s equaliser. His overall performance lacked the assurance United needed.
Diogo Dalot – 5/10
Dalot regularly pushed forward and offered width in attack, but he faced a demanding battle on his flank and struggled to maintain his influence throughout.
Harry Maguire – 6/10
Maguire produced a steady defensive display, dealing with most of Everton’s threats effectively and providing a reliable presence at the heart of United’s defence.
Lisandro Martinez – 4/10
Martinez’s poor clearance presented Everton with the opportunity to score and undermined an otherwise manageable defensive situation.
Luke Shaw – 7/10
Shaw was outstanding compared with his previous outing. He defended confidently, combined well with Rashford and supplied the cross for Sesko’s goal.
Kobbie Mainoo – 6.5/10
Mainoo remained composed in possession and circulated the ball efficiently. His neat touches and movement helped United maintain control during spells of the match. Assisted the opener.
Youri Tielemans – 6.5/10
Tielemans continued to show improvement, retaining possession intelligently while also reading danger well enough to make several useful defensive interventions.
Bruno Fernandes – 5/10
Fernandes hit the crossbar early but struggled to influence proceedings thereafter. He also gave the ball away cheaply, although his involvement helped create Sesko’s goal.
Bryan Mbeumo – 8/10
Mbeumo made an immediate impact after the interval, producing a superb run before calmly finishing to put United ahead.
Marcus Rashford – 7.5/10
Rashford was United’s most threatening attacker, repeatedly beating his marker and delivering dangerous balls into the area before being substituted.
Matheus Cunha – 2/10
Cunha endured a miserable afternoon, repeatedly losing possession and failing to build promising attacks. His miss from close range further summed up his disappointing performance.
Substitutes
Patrick Dorgu – 5/10
Dorgu struggled to make a significant contribution after entering the game and offered little to change United’s attacking momentum.
Benjamin Sesko – 8/10
Sesko made his opportunity count with a superb header that restored United’s lead and provided a significant attacking contribution from the bench.
Leny Yoro – 4/10
Yoro was composed enough during his time on the pitch and avoided major mistakes while helping United manage the closing stages.
Andrey Santos – 5/10
Santos had a relatively quiet introduction but performed adequately, helping United maintain their shape during his spell on the field.
Noussair Mazraoui – 4/10
Mazraoui struggled after coming on and was unable to prevent Everton from finding their second goal.
