David De Gea,
Beginning cautiously, he failed to get off his line, hit the fans, and nearly missed a goal kick. 5
Victor Lindelof,
Inexplicably began at right-back, and the experiment was not remotely successful. Atletico was most dangerous down Lindelof’s right flank. 4
Raphael Varane,
Whistled before the game, and Varane was not responsible for United’s shoddy first-half performance. The second half was better, but it was a night to forget. 5
Harry Maguire
When Joao Felix was on his toes for the initial goal, he was on his heels, despite a fantastic cross and header. It’ll be better after the break. 5
Luke Shaw,
There is no noticeable influence at either end, and his form is nowhere near that of an automatic pick. 5
Fred
Relocated to the base of midfield, where he was frequently swamped in a loose area. When he had previously performed well, he deteriorated predictably. 4
Paul Pogba,
Dithered too much with the ball and fell short of the heights of friend Geoffrey Kondogbia, who ran the midfield. Hooked once more. 3
Bruno Fernandes,
Sloppy with the ball and became progressively narked, exacerbating the situation. Didn’t waste any time in finding Elanga for the equalizer. 6
Marcus Rashford,
Rashford’s inclusion was unexpected, as he was moved back to the right, where he dislikes playing. I tried but was unable to make an impact, so I turned to selfishness. 3
Jadon Sancho
He worked hard enough, but most of his frantic sprinting were in the wrong direction. On either wing, there was a struggle for space. 5
Subs
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
I made a space for me.
Alex Telles,
6 offered energy
Nemanja Matic,
Added balance to the middle. 7
Anthony Elanga,
Brilliantly equalized. 8
Jesse Lingard,
I hardly noticed the ball, but I hit it on aim. 6
Manager
The right-back experiment clearly failed, and he chose a very loose midfield, both of which he effectively admitted with a late triple change. But, once again, his changes made a difference. 6
