Manchester United Player Ratings: Rashford’s Lackluster Display Adds to Red Devils’ Humiliation at Old Trafford. In another lackluster performance, Marcus Rashford failed to make an impact for Manchester United as they suffered a humbling defeat to Manchester City at Old Trafford. The match showcased United’s shortcomings in every aspect, particularly in their attacking prowess where they were unable to mount a response. Rashford struggled to create any meaningful dаnger throughout the game and squandered a clear opportunity in the second half with an open goal. Meanwhile, his strike partner Rasmus Hojlund showed more energy on the pitch, but his foul resulted in a penalty for City, which Erling Haaland converted to give their rivals the lead, albeit with the help of a contentious VAR decision. Hojlund also missed several chances to capitalize on limited openings.

A powerful header from Haaland and a simple tap-in from Phil Foden sealed a miserable afternoon for the Red Devils, widening the gap between them and their local rivals. The players’ performances were assessed by GOAL at Old Trafford.

Goalkeeper & Defence

Andre Onana (8/10):

Made some fine saves from Grealish and Haaland, including one leap across his line to deny the striker. Little he could do about the goals.

Diogo Dalot (5/10):

His defensive frailties were exposed by Grealish and he rarely got forward.

Harry Maguire (6/10):

A solid performance overall. Made two big clearances and did not allow himself to be overrun.

Jonny Evans (5/10):

From an individual point of view he was OK, but the fact United chose him to deal with Haaland says it all.

Victor Lindelof (5/10):

A surprise pick at left-back over Reguilon and didn’t justify it.

Midfield

Christian Eriksen (5/10):

His long passes were United’s only hope of creating dаnger, but he couldn’t perform his defensive duties properly.

Sofyan Amrabat (5/10):

Couldn’t keep up with Bernardo and got a booking for tangling with Foden. Hooked at half-time for Mount.

Bruno Fernandes (5/10):

Couldn’t influence the game and must take responsibility for the midfield getting overwhelmed.

аttаck

Scott McTominay (5/10):

Had two attempts on goal but too lightweight and couldn’t help United loosen City’s grip on midfield.

Rasmus Hojlund (6/10):

His overall play was good and he was always on the Һunt for slip in the defence. But showed a lack of experience at both ends, giving away the penalty for tangling with Rodri and staying on his feet when he could have gone over from contact by Stones.

Marcus Rashford (3/10):

Had no link-up play of note and when he got one good chance to score he scuffed it wide. Another terrible performance from last season’s talisman.
