David de Gea – Made a howler of a mistake to gift Spurs the lead. Came back strong with a top save to deny Son. 3/10
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – Looked a little rusty, but we still saw his exceptional tacking ability on display. 5/10
Harry Maguire – Poor defending to allow Bergwijn in to score. Improved from that point forward, though. 4/10
Victor Lindelof – Looked nervous and a little complacent at times. Perhaps he just needs a few games to get up to speed. 5/10
Luke Shaw – Left the left-flank way too exposed in the first 45. Adjusted in the second-half and played far better. 5/10
Scott McTominay – Started brightly, but gave away too many fouls and was a little sloppy. 5/10
Fred – His passing was hit and miss. Didn’t look happy about being subbed off for Paul Pogba. 5/10
Bruno Fernandes – Showed his class and quality from minute one. This boy is a special, special footballer who we’re lucky to have. Cool, calm and collected from the penalty spot, too. 8/10
Daniel James – Not great. His touch looked heavy and you never really had confidence in him to beat a man or play the right ball. 4/10
Marcus Rashford – Looked sharp in the early-going, but fizzled out. Perhaps he was getting a little tired, which makes sense given the lack of playing time. 5/10
Anthony Martial – Didn’t get involved anywhere near enough. I’d like to see him make more runs to keep the defenders a little busier. 3/10
Subs:
Mason Greenwood – Looked lively, wasn’t afraid to use his pace and trickery to beat a man. Could have won it late on.
Paul Pogba – The difference-maker. Won the penalty and played some sumptuous balls forward.
Nemanja Matic – Kept things ticking over.
Odion Ighalo – Didn’t get into the game.
Eric Bailly – Not enough time to mark.
