Man United player ratings vs West Brom: Bruno Fernandes and Fred decent
Man United won at Old Trafford in the Premier League for the first time this
season and here is how we rated Solskjaer's players.
David de Gea - 8 (wonderful saves!!!!!
Got the finest of touches to tip Karlan Grant's deflected effort wide. Made one
of his classic toe saves from Conor Townsend seconds before United won a
penalty.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 5
Non-existent in attack too often again despite the reticent approach from West
Brom. Just does not do enough going forward.
Victor Lindelof - 6
Did not appear to be hampered by his back problem and helped United to a clean
sheet.
Harry Maguire - 6
The only one who acted like a proper United player from start to finish and
started the breakaway Anthony Martial should have finished.
Alex Telles - 6
Took some time to adjust to the demands and there were some loose moments and
his speculative shooting was awry.
Nemanja Matic - 5
Suffered the ignominy of a nutmeg but did little wrong. The trouble was United
did not needed two steely midfielders against the 18th-placed side.
Fred - 6
Tidy enough with the ball and tried to get United on the attack but rarely
played a memorable pass.
Juan Mata - 5
Too passive too often in the first-half but his cross was handled and earned
United a penalty. Made way for Cavani on the hour.
Bruno Fernandes - 6 (还好可以再踢一次
Set up Martial for an easy chance but became so frustrated he withdrew into a
deeper role. Lucky not to have the penalty conceded stand and lucky he got to
retake his saved spotkick.
Marcus Rashford - 4
Rusty after coming back from injury and wasted a great opportunity to all but
kill the game in the second-half.
Anthony Martial - 5
Had an early header saved before he squandered a gilt-edged chance soon after.
Was going through the motions at times.
Subs
Edinson Cavani - 4
Fluffed a good chance.
Donny van de Beek - 5
Came on for the final 10 minutes.
Scott McTominay - 5
Replaced Fred to protect the lead.
Manager
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 6
Overestimated West Brom by starting Matic with Fred and should have made a
change at half-time. Cavani for Mata was an adventurous move.
