In the Premier League, Man United defeated Everton 2-0, and the players' ratings at Old Trafford are as follows.
United secured a good win |
David de Gea
Had next to nothing to do with his hands and could have had an assist with his feet had Antony used his right foot. 7
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Missed a sitter on the rebound but his performance level was good and he made worthy contributions in the final third. 7
Harry Maguire
Got an early block in to deny Ellis Simms but hesitated when the Everton striker received the ball unattended at 0-0. Otherwise solid. 7
Another commanding performance on an afternoon Everton surprisingly started with a striker. His long ball led to the second goal. 7
Tyrell Malacia
Initially played like a reserve full-back from the Eredivisie. Rash with his defensive decision-making and sloppy in attack. Better in the second half. 6
Scott McTominay
The 'defender' of the front six got the breakthrough with a clinical strike, exploiting space afforded him by Michael Keane. 7
Marcel Sabitzer
Thrived in an advanced role again. United benefited from Sabitzer's pressing and he was a goal threat. Found Fernandes for a fine chance. 8
Antony
Another creative performance, he hit the post and was denied by Jordan Pickford but also wasted two good opportunities. Harshly removed for Anthony Martial. 6
Bruno Fernandes
Stayed in a deep role and was even better than against Brentford. Exploited Everton time and again and United's dominance was underpinned by Fernandes. 8
Jadon Sancho
Did well to find McTominay to put United 1-0 up but did not make the most of it in his favoured role against the ageing Seamus Coleman. 6
Marcus Rashford
Could've sparked a goal glut with an eight-minute one-on-one he struck too close to Pickford. Had other chances but did not score. Assisted Martial. 7
Subs
Anthony Martial
Took an age to get ready when told he was coming on and inevitably scored against Everton again - his eighth goal in 16 against them. 7
Christian Eriksen
Made his return from injury. 6
Fred
Came on for a run-out. 6
Wout Weghorst
Replaced Rashford. 5
Manager
Keeping Fernandes deep was pivotal and Sabitzer was on the same wavelength as United's usual No.10. Hooking Antony was harsh but Martial came on and scored. 8
