Manchester United defeated Sheffield United 4-2 in the Premier League, and here’s how the players fared at Old Trafford.
Andre Onana
His errant pass allowed Jayden Bogle to put Sheffield United ahead. For the second goal, they were thoroughly outmatched. 5
Diogo Dalot
Swapped flanks with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and almost scored in the first 30 seconds. More midfielder than full back at times and lost the ball for the second goal. 6
Casemiro
United possessed the majority of the ball, so he wasn’t too troubled at centre-back. Robust in his duels and worked a reasonable shift. 7
Harry Maguire
One of United’s few in-form players has scored twice in two games. Won the penalty that enabled Bruno Fernandes to equalise. 8
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Involved in some good link-up play with Antony as they continued their unusual alliance. Much more comfortable at the right back. 6
Christian Eriksen
He had a lot of the ball in his first start since January, but it wasn’t particularly dynamic or game-changing. Predictably, substituted. 5
Kobbie Mainoo
Bright took on a more advanced role, while Eriksen took a back seat. I had a shot saved, but there was an offside in the buildup. Consistently good. 7
Antony
Despite several reasonable openings, there is little finished product. Hooked for Amad in the 56th minute following another innocuous display. When he was removed, several United fans celebrated. 4
Bruno Fernandes
Involved but ineffective in the first half, but equalized from the spot in the second. He scored a terrific goal to put United ahead and is now the season’s leading scorer. 8
Alejandro Garnacho
United should have led 1-0, but the ball was placed too close to Wes Foderingham. Crossed for Maguire to level, then ran relentlessly. 7
Rasmus Hojlund
He took what felt like his first shot in months, but it was another non-event. He worked hard and finally scored his first goal in almost two months. 6
Subs
Amad
One of his quieter efforts from the bench. 5
Scott McTominay
Energized the midfield. 6
Ethan Wheatley
There are 250 academy graduates. 6
Sofia Amrabat
A rare outing. 5
Manager
Picked a predictable XI, and the full-back substitution, with Dalot encouraged to play more centrally, did not go quite as planned, but United were more inventive and came back twice. 6
