Manchester United player ratings vs Liverpool as Jadon Sancho and Eric Bailly excellent

Man United defeated Liverpool in their first pre-season friendly of the summer in Bangkok’s Rajamangala Stadium, and here’s how the players fared.

De Gea, David

 

At 0-0, he made a superb save from Luis Diaz and came off his line twice, which is unusual for a goalie who has to adapt. 8

 

Dalot, Diogo

 

Loose at times against Diaz, but aggressive in attack and rattled the crossbar at 3-0.

 

Lindelof, Victor

 

Coolly defended and made several remarkable interceptions from crosses. 8

 

Varane, Raphael

 

He was pushed so high up the pitch that he won a throw-in in Liverpool’s third and solidly defended. 7

 

Shaw, Luke

 

After a disappointing season, he is very proactive and back to his best. Frequently involved in attacks. 7

 

McTominay, Scott

 

Particularly physical, probably even more so now that United is attempting to recruit Frenkie de Jong. 7

 

Fred

 

At 0-0, he wasted a fantastic chance but scored deftly with a lob over compatriot Alisson before being replaced at halftime. 8

 

Fernandes, Bruno

 

With his probing passes, he has accelerated assaults and is not wasteful in possession. 7

 

Sancho Jadon

 

Clinched a goal to put United ahead, combined well with Dalot, and created chances with his awareness on and off the ball. 9

 

Rashford, Marcus

 

After Sancho teed him up, he ran relentlessly and terrified Liverpool, but he mis-hit with the goal gaping. 6

 

Martial, Anthony

 

A flowing effort in which he began in the middle and advanced to the left before scoring beautifully from the right-hand channel. 8

 

Subs

 

Heaton, Tom

 

Darwin Nunez was denied shortly after entering.

 

Wan-Bissaka Aaron Wan-Bissaka

 

Liverpool targeted United down the left, so Wan-Bissaka had little defending to do and less willingness to attack during his half. 6

 

Bailly, Eric

 

As United came under siege, he came to the rescue several times, sparking the counter-attack that resulted in their fourth goal. 8

 

Telles, Alex

 

Never a left-back, never a centre-back. I made two mistakes in the first few minutes of the second half. 5

 

Malacia, Tyrell

 

Started out boldly, but was quickly taken off guard. 6

 

Savage, Charlie

 

A composed performance in the midfield alongside Zidane Iqbal. 6

 

Iqbal Zidane

 

A confident performance from the promising Iraq international, who seemed unfazed by his illustrious opponents. 7

 

Amad

 

A cynical foul denied him a potential goal run, but he worked well with Facundo Pellistri. 6

 

Van de Beek, Donny

 

Returned to the No.10 position but had little impact. 5

 

Pellistri, Facundo

 

Liverpool dominated possession for the majority of the second half, but came alive to score the fourth goal. 7

 

Elanga, Anthony

 

As a result, anonymity Ten Hag summoned him at one point during the game. 5
