Manchester United player ratings from 3-2 pre-season defeat to Borussia Dortmund
-
MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: Tom Heaton 7 - Decisively claimed a ball on the edge of the area. Wasn’t at fault for either of Malen’s goals. Went off at half time after rowing with Williams about the second United goal. AFP -
Diogo Dalot 7 - A screamer into the corner of the net to put his side ahead on 24 minutes. Reuters -
Victor Lindelof 6 - Gave the ball away to lead to the second goal a minute after the first. Costly error. Reuters -
Harry Maguire 6 - Deflected a header onto his crossbar. Told off by Onana as soon as the goalkeeper came on. AFP -
Brandon Williams 5 - Couple of strong runs down the left in the first half, but missed a challenge which led to Dortmund levelling after diving in to a challenge. Then played Dortmund onside so they could score a second a minute later. Stayed on and got forward in a calmer second half. Reuters -
Scott McTominay 6 - Captain, even though Maguire started, and he was steady in front of the 50,857 crowd as United lost again in the United States against a side who lost the Bundesliga title on goal difference last season. AFP -
Donny van de Beek 7 - Furthest forward of three midfielders and used his body well to get the ball across to Dalot who scored the first. Used his body again to win the ball from a slow Dortmund defence and set up Antony for the second. Reuters -
Christian Eriksen 6 - Beautiful ball to Pellistri early on, then drew a fine save after his free-kick beat the wall. Best passer on the pitch. Reuters -
Jadon Sancho 7 - Lively against his former team where he excelled. Fine turn in the first half and got 75 minutes. Be interesting to see if he starts against Wolves in the first league game. Reuters -
Omari Forson 6 - Involved on the right, not the left as usual. Fast, tricky and shot weekly on target after five minutes. Booked for a tussle and clash of heads, which agitated his manager. Was taken off after 37 minutes. AFP -
Facundo Pellistri 7 - A danger down the left, a player who gets the crowd on their feet. AFP -
SUBS: Antony 7 - On after 37 mins on the right hand side and picked his spot to bend United’s second goal into the net on 51. Worked hard defensively, too. AP -
Andre Onana 7 - On at half time and made a save from Haller within three minutes – then admonished his defence - especially Maguire. More minutes for the player settling well at his new club. AFP -
Lisandro Martinez 6 - On after 60 mins as eight players came on at once. Pushed high to try and help United get an equaliser towards the end. Getty -
Jonny Evans 6 - On after 60 mins and couldn’t get to a ball which set up Dortmund’s third. Got forward well. Reuters -
Casemiro 6 - On after 60 mins. Wonderful pass to Rashford through the Dortmund defence on 82 mins. AFP -
Bruno Fernandes 7 - On after 60 mins and a fine free-kick to the unmarked Rashford on 81 mins and reverse pass to Hugill five minutes before time. Getty -
Luke Shaw 6 - On after 60 mins and played a neat ball across goal on 72. AFP -
Marcus Rashford 7 - On after 60 mins. Showed good sportsmanship with Meunier as he went off injured. Clever first time ball behind the Dortmund defence as United looked to equalise. Got the ball under his foot from a Fernandes free kick on 81, then drew a save on 82. AFP -
Mason Mount 6 - On after 60 mins and made a perfect pass. Settling in well. AP -
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 5 - On after 60 mins. Struck a shot towards downtown Las Vegas rather than the goal on 65 after an intelligent move. Gave the ball away to set up Dortmund’s third. Reuters -
Joe Hugill 6 - On after 76 mins. The young striker who stayed with the first team group was given 15 minutes after a pre-season where he scored against Leeds in Oslo. Tried to bend a shot around the keeper on 86. EPA
