David de Gea – No chance with the goal but made a couple of good stops with his feet to keep it at 1-0. 5/10
Ashley Young – Just awful. He struggled to keep up with play, always played the same ball down the channel and crossing-wise, the delivery was dreadful. 2/10
Chris Smalling – Was alright. Drew blood from Lionel Messi after a hefty tackle. Probably the highlight of the night. 6/10
Victor Lindelof – Looked shaky at times. I guess that’s natural when you see Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez running at you, though. 5/10
Luke Shaw – Unfortunate to concede an own goal. Perhaps he was too deep and should have been out wide. 5/10
Scott McTominay – Absolutely outstanding. Won tackles, worked hard, threw his weight around and got the ball moving again. His best United display. 8/10
Fred – Grew into the game. There was a second-half spell where Fred was absolutely everywhere, dominating the game with his passing, movement and tough-tackling. Maybe he does have a United future. 7/10
Paul Pogba – Made a couple of nice bursts forward but we still need to see more quality from our most talented player. 6/10
Diogo Dalot – Pretty good defensively but missed an outstanding chance as the first half was drawing to a close. He had to do better. 5/10
Marcus Rashford – Fairly quiet but it’s tough when you’re getting so little service. 4/10
Romelu Lukaku – Similar to Rashford, really. Just couldn’t get into the game. It must have been a frustrating evening for him. 4/10
Subs:
Anthony Martial – Looked lively.
Jesse Lingard – Didn’t get into the game.
Andreas Pereira – Not enough time to mark.
