Manchester United 4-2 Sheffield United: Player Ratings | OneFootball

Manchester United beat Sheffield United 4-2 at Old Trafford tonight. Here are our player ratings for the game-

(A score of 6 is around average)

Andre Onana 4- Shades of early season Onana were back as he passed it straight to the opposition from which they scored a shock opener.

Diogo Dalot 7.5- Went to the left and reprised his inverted role as he came into the midfield to help shield Eriksen on transitions. Indispensable right now.

Harry Maguire 7- Fine header for the equaliser in a display that didn’t need much from him in defence.

Casemiro 6- Sheffield didn’t threaten at all apart from the freak opener he wasn’t at fault for so it was a serene day for him.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka 5- Much more confident after returning to his favoured right-back role although quality on the ball remains an issue.

Kobbie Mainoo 7- Has become the first name on the teamsheet in quick time and continued his good form with another composed display.

Christian Eriksen 5- Was found wanting on a couple of transitions but enjoyed himself on the ball as Sheffield were obliging opposition.

Antony 4- A Bit too eager to take on the shot but it’s always predictable. Just doesn’t look like he’s Premier League level even though there are occasional flashes.

Bruno Fernandes 9- An extremely well-taken double takes him to seven in his last six. He’s head and shoulders above everyone despite being in a dysfunctional team as he assisted Hojlund too. Heartbeat of this team.

Alejandro Garnacho 7- Assisted Maguire’s goal from the free kick and gave Mason Holgate a tough time with his direct play, leading to a booking.

Rasmus Hojlund 6- Good game for him to find his form again as he scored United’s fourth despite being on the periphery for much of the game.

Substitutes:

Amad 7- Came on for Antony and the lift in the collective quality of the team was clear immediately as he buzzed about and never stopped trying to look for a killer pass. Needs to be starting.

Scott McTominay 5- No late rescue act this time and remains limited in other areas of the game.

Ethan Wheatley 6- Came on late as United’s 250th academy debutant in a special moment for the youngster.

Sofyan Amrabat 6- Subbed on along with Wheatley as United aimed to see out the game.

Manager Erik ten Hag 6– A much-improved display albeit against the worst side in the league. Then again, Coventry were no heavyweights either. There was more control and calmness to the game and that eventually translated to the result although not without hiccups. Something to build on, at least in terms of philosophy.
