Manchester United battled out a 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad in the Europa at Old Trafford this evening to progress to the Round of 16 of the competition 4-0 on aggregate. Here are our player ratings for the game:
(A score of 6 is around average.)
Dean Henderson 7 – A seventh clean sheet of the season for Henderson and some authoratitive shouting and catching. Looking like a safe pair of hands at the back and a good vocal presence.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 6 – Should have been rested from the start, looked tired.
Eric Bailly 8 – Another majestic performance from the Ivorian. Hands down United’s best centre back if he can stay fit.
Victor Lindelof 5 – A clean sheet yes, but didn’t look terribly safe and cost Tuanzebe his goal with his mid-air foul.
Alex Telles 7 – Another good performance from Telles. Defended well and put in some good crosses. Would just like to see him take a few more chances going forward as he used to do for Porto.
Nemanja Matic 6 – Steady Eddie performance from Mr Reliable.
Fred 6 – Looked to be enjoying a bit of freedom to get forward but then got involved in niggly fouls and had to be subbed to save a sending off.
Mason Greenwood 7 – Some nice moves and nearly scored a classy goal, but it wasn’t to be.
Bruno Fernandes 7 – Was so unlucky when he hit the bar and played well for the time he was on.
Dan James 4 – Conceded a ridiculous penalty early on that, if converted, could have made life difficult. Did bring out a good save from the Sociedad keeper, but otherwise offered little.
Anthony Martial 3 – 90 more minutes without a goal and absolutely lacking any form and confidence. Solskjaer’s determination to play him through his bad patch doesn’t seem to be working and he should really be given a few weeks away from the side to regroup.
Substitutes
Marcus Rashford 7 – Did well, put in some great passes and crosses, but why was he risked with the tie won?
Axel Tuanzebe 8 – Played really well in an unfamiliar role and was very unlucky to have his brilliant headed thunderbolt ruled out for a foul by Lindelof. Hope to see more of him on the back of this.
Brandon Williams 7 – Was also impressive after a slightly shaky start. Had the energy to close down anything coming down the right and looked good going forward.
Amad Diallo 6 – Didn’t get much chance to express himself but showed a couple of nice touches and helped out defensively.
Shola Shoretire 6 – Didn’t get on the ball much.
Edinson Cavani has made quite an impact since his deadline day arrival at Old Trafford, but how much do you know about our other South American players, past and present? Take our quiz below to find out!
