Players Reports Card

 

MANCHESTER UNITED   

DAVID DE GEA - 7

Only beaten from the spot following his saves from Ziyech and Hudson-Odoi.

AARON WAN-BISSAKA - 5.5

Conceded penalty with careless challenge but made a vital interception to deny Werner.

ERIC BAILLY - 6.5

In for Maguire, got turned by Ziyech early on but gave away very little after that.

VICTOR LINDELOF - 6.5

It wasn't pretty or easy, but he led the defensive effort as United hung on.

ALEX TELLES - 5.5

Struggled to stop a steady supply of crosses from the United, and rarely got forward.













SCOTT McTOMINAY - 7.5

Drove United on with his energy, even after he was booked just before half-time.

NEMANJA MATIC - 6.5

The extra defensive midfielder and a calming influence when United were being overrun.

FRED - 6

Worked tirelessly but guilty of poor attempt at a chip when handed a chance late on.

BRUNO FERNANDES - 5

Can't fault his spirit but another hit and miss performance from the Portuguese.

JADON SANCHO - 7

Took his second goal in two games really well. United career finally taking off.

MARCUS RASHFORD - 6

Couldn't make an impact in the first half but transformed after the interval.

Manchester United resume first-team training following Covid outbreak in the squad - as Ralf Rangnick's men aim to be back to host Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday

Manchester United are expected to return to their Carrington training base today and resume training operations, following a  Covid-19  outbreak across the squad. On Monday United were forced to shut down their training ground for a 24-hour period in order to combat and minimise the spread of the virus. As a result Thursday night's  Premier League  fixture away to newly promoted  Brentford  was postponed, though there remains hope United can return in time for the weekend. On Saturday the Red Devils are due to face Graham Potter's Brighton at Old Trafford, in the 12.30pm kick-off slot.

Who do you choose?

 Today was another bad day for us, if you were to give an opportunity to choose, whom do you take?  A. Conte  B. Zinedine 

WHAT WENT WRONG OLE?

 💬| It would be wrong to say that Solskjaer "can't" organize a defense. We saw on numerous occasions in 19-20 and 20-21 United play in a very compact organized shape It just seems like in 2021-22 he's actively choosing to not organize his team - to very predictable repercussions The criticism against Ole was always "yes, we know he can organize the team and get stuck in against the big guys, but what happens when teams let United have the ball? He falters."  He always could & has organized a defensive team at Man United, he's just *not* doing it this year 100 percent. I recall reports during pre-season about a change in system, and we have seen united move away from what really worked for Ole.  For me I don’t think you should ever sacrifice defence for attack. Attack should be built on defensive solidity to succeed. He’s trying to transition to a more pressing style with a higher line but the adaptation mid season is so risky and not paying off atm....
