David de Gea and Nemanja Matic good
Man Utd beat Benfica 2-0 in their Champions League fixture at Old Trafford as
David de Gea made more vital saves.
David de Gea - 7 (stratospheric: 平流层的, 代表极高的意思 (特地去查字典XD
Sensationally saves Goncalves' raking effort to keep the scoreline goalless.
By his stratospheric standards, it was a routine stop.
Matteo Darmian - 5
Excelled at right wing-back last week but showed nowhere near as much fluency
from right-back, where he never looked like threatening.
Eric Bailly - 5
Got more valuable minutes under his belt ahead of an inevitable start at
Chelsea. Ring-rustiness was patent as he almost gifted Benfica a leveller.
Chris Smalling - 6
Unadventurous on the ball but mainly dependable. A mark of his secure form he
was retained over Victor Lindelof, who has usually started midweek matches.
Daley Blind - 6 (意外的点球手啊!!!
Executed one majestic crossfield pass but some of his defending was lazy and
he did not offer Anthony Martial sufficient support. Scored a penalty.
Nemanja Matic - 7
Did not have the gall to try and claim his first United goal after it
rebounded in off Mile Svilar's back. A sound conduit between defence and
attack.
Scott McTominay - 6
Acquitted himself supremely well on his first Champions League start.
Fleet-footed and positive on the ball without making a true difference.
Juan Mata - 6
Started on the right but veered centrally in an attempt to influence the game
and was neat on the ball. Hardly effected the United attack, though.
Jesse Lingard - 4 (真的 他完全不能打10号 他就是适合上来乱冲乱跑XD
Positioned in the playmaker role again and demonstrated how unsuitable he is
for that role. Came off at half-time with an apparent injury.
Anthony Martial - 6 (今天真的过人如切菜啊!!
Should have capped his scintillating start with a goal but had his penalty
saved by Svilar. Overdid it at times but still United's best forward all
evening.
Romelu Lukaku - 6
Worked hard and became frustrated with United's lateral passing. When he did
get a chance he finished weakly at Svilar.
Subs
Henrikh Mkhitaryan - 5
An upgrade on Lingard but one moment of laxness audibly exasperated sections
of the crowd.
Ander Herrera - 6
Brought urgency to the midfield and United pressed aggressively.
Marcus Rashford - 7
Made an instant impact as he won the penalty.
