Man United player ratings as Lingard is ineffective, but McTominay and Greenwood shine in Everton draw

Manchester United were rescued by teenage sensation Mason Greenwood who came off the bench to score a late equaliser during a 1-1 draw against Everton on Sunday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s conceded to a controversial Victor Lindelof first half own-goal. Appeals for a foul on David de Gea were ignored by VAR.

United pushed forward in the second half and Greenwood’s clinical strike salvaged a point.

Here, we rate United’s players.

STARTING XI (4-2-3-1)

De Gea 5 – Unfortunate not to get the foul for Everton’s goal. Was good otherwise, making a couple of decent saves.

Wan-Bissaka 6 – Seven tackles in this one and some of them were truly exceptional. Crossing woeful again though.

Lindelof 4 – A tough game for the Swede. Unfortunate own goal to concede and made a couple of clumsy fouls. Passing was wayward too.

Maguire 6 – Good on the ball and calm at the back. Needs to pose more of a threat from set-pieces though.

Shaw 5 – His dreadful clearance led to the corner from which Everton scored. Had a good effort in the second half but well below par.

McTominay 7 – He’s the ‘Scott tape’ holding United’s midfield together at the moment. Several defensive contributions but even lead the way for key passes with four.

Fred 6 – The Brazilian had three key passes of his own and showed glimpses of good play but wasn’t anywhere near as strong as his midfield partner.

James 6 – Bagged the assist for the goal and shot wide in the first half. Didn’t capitalise on his match-up with Leighton Baines though.

Lingard 3 – Should’ve done better with an effort 18 seconds into proceedings. Four unsuccessful touches were the most among United players. Completely ineffective with many promising moves dying at his feet.

Rashford 6 – Was the only bright spark for United in the first half. Some stinging shots but a little bit selfish at times.

Martial 4 – Another anonymous game from the Frenchman. Struggled to lead the line. Should be concerned by the Erling Braut Haaland speculation.

SUBS

Greenwood (65′) 8 – United have lightning in a bottle with this teenage talent. Scored an excellent equaliser after his brace in midweek.

Mata (86′) N/A – Only had a few touches but even those were underwhelming.
