Manchester United Player Ratings vs. Liverpool: A Disastrous 3-0 Defeat
Manchester United endured a humiliating 3-0 defeat against arch-rivals Liverpool. Here’s how the players fared:
Andre Onana – 5: Could have done more to stop Luis Diaz’s second goal. His distribution was below his usual standards.
Noussair Mazraoui – 4: Lacked positional awareness for Liverpool’s first goal. Had a decent shot late in the first half that was saved by Alisson.
Matthijs de Ligt – 6: Solid until Liverpool opened the scoring. Made some key contributions to prevent further goals.
Lisandro Martinez – 3: Struggled throughout the match. Poor in possession and almost cost another goal with a weak pass early in the second half. Also received a needless yellow card for a foul on Dominik Szoboszlai.
Diogo Dalot – 5: Mostly played on the left and couldn’t contain Salah effectively.
Casemiro – 1: A disastrous performance. Made two errors that directly led to Liverpool goals. His passing was off, and he couldn’t handle Liverpool’s intensity. Rightly substituted at halftime.
Kobbie Mainoo – 5: One of United’s better players until his error led to Liverpool’s third goal.
Bruno Fernandes – 3: Largely invisible. Had a few chances to create something early on but failed to deliver.
Marcus Rashford – 3: Lacked impact and didn’t threaten the Liverpool defense enough.
Alejandro Garnacho – 3: Like Rashford, he struggled to make a difference. Might be more effective as an impact substitute.
Joshua Zirkzee – 2: Poor performance, especially in the first half. Looked out of his depth, losing possession frequently and making poor decisions. Slight improvement in the second half, but still disappointing.
Substitutes:
Toby Collyer – 5: Provided more stability than Casemiro. Kept things simple.
Amad Diallo – 5: Showed intent and tried to spark something by running at the Liverpool defense. A mistake not to start him.
Harry Maguire – 5: Did his job in the limited time he had.
Christian Eriksen – 5: Didn’t have enough time to make an impact.
Erik ten Hag – 1: Bears much of the responsibility for the team’s dismal performance. Failed to respond to Liverpool’s growing dominance and made questionable decisions, like benching Amad despite his recent form. The team doesn’t appear to have improved from last season, raising concerns among fans.
