We has given his ratings of the Manchester United players.

Andre Onana – 3

Scotland hero John McGinn scores 'incredible' free-kick against Man Utd as fans stunned by 'mind games' tactic | The Scottish Sun

Didn’t come and claim John McGinn’s cross for the first goal, and didn’t look overly confident throughout the game. Bought in for his distribution, but that was poor too. Really not good.

Aaron Wan Bissaka – 5

Man United ngược dòng thắng nghẹt thở Aston Villa

Looked calm and composed on the ball.

Good defensively when needed, but still lacks a threat going forward which is required from the modern day full-back.

Jonny Evans – 5

Not good enough at all in the first half, but turned things around in the second, including a great goal line clearance to deny John McGinn a second goal.

Raphael Varane – 5

Didn’t look up to scratch today, and was not the commanding presence we know he can be and saw against Liverpool.

Did get better in the second half, but far from his brilliant best.

Diego Dalot – 6

Hojlund nổ súng, Man United quật ngã Aston Villa ngày Lễ tặng quà

Played some nice forward passes, and looked creative from defence for United, but failed to really impact the game too much, was caused problems by Leon Bailey on the right hand side.

Kobbie Mainoo – 6

Showed some good moments of press resistance, and some good movement and passing too. Another good showing from the young man.

Christian Eriksen – 5

Seemed to consistently make the wrong decisions in the first half, which could be said for most of the Man Utd players out there.

Failed to be a threat on the attack, and didn’t really contribute defensively either.

Bruno Fernandes – 7

Man. United - Aston Villa, staðan er 2:2

Throughout the game, he complained a lot and gave away a foolish free kick that resulted in John McGinn’s opening goal.

Performed well in the second half, providing a good set piece to set up Hojlund’s winning goal and setting up Garnacho’s second. Some really good passing was evident.

Alejandro Garnacho – 8

 

Looked positive throughout the game, and was deserving of his brace. Two composed finishes and was the best player on the pitch for Man Utd today.

Constantly causing problems for the Villa defence.

Marcus Rashford – 7

Looked dangerous in both halves with a few shots on target and some good movement, failed to produce on a few occasions, but came up with a great cross for Garnacho’s first strike.

Rasmus Hojlund – 5

Hojlund bagged his first Premier League goal

Looked a yard off the pace and like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders until the second half began.

His winning goal should do his confidence plenty of good, and was well taken on his left foot.

SUBS

Antony – 5 (For Marcus Rashford, 80′)

Failed to really impact the game after coming on for Rashford, but not dreadful.

Scott McTominay – 5 (For Kobbie Mainoo, 81′)

Didn’t have much time to make a real impact, worked hard as usual and made an important clearance.

Willy Kambwala – 5 (For Rasmus Hojlund, 89′)

Saw the game out nicely for United, but didn’t have many minutes to impact the game too much.

Dan Gore – 5 (For Christian Eriksen, 90+5′)

Didn’t have enough time to impact the game.

Hannibal Mejbri – 5 (For Alejandro Garnacho, 90+5)
