Man United vs. West Ham Player Ratings: Anthony Martial is good but Paul Pogba fights – Samuel Luckhurst


How Manchester United’s players qualified by drawing 1-1 with West Ham at Old Trafford.

David De Gea

He received another penalty after Paul Pogba handled Declan Rice’s free kick. Good save from Jarrod Bowen’s deflected punch. 6 6

Timothy Fosu-Mensah

It showed why he spent more than three years without playing for United. Ineffective in the last third and conceded the free kick that led to the penalty kick. Replaced at half time. 3

Victor Lindelof

He was lucky when he let Michail Antonio take the side of the goal, but the ball drifted into De Gea’s arms. 5 5

Harry maguire

He did little wrong defensively, but could have complemented more attacks on a reluctant West Ham. 6 6

Brandon Williams

More effective in the future than Fosu-Mensah and almost forced a lead, but Mason Greenwood’s shot was blocked. 6 6

Nemanja Matic

He orders the ball without much influence on United’s attacks and should have gone out in search of a second earlier. 5 5

Paul Pogba

Without thinking he recognized the crucial penalty that allowed West Ham to take the lead. It had no impact in the second half. 3

Bruno Fernandes

Badly controlled Marcus Rashford’s balloon at 0-0 when he had killed him. United could have had a more comfortable night. Frustrated 5 5

Mason Greenwood

He teamed up wonderfully with Anthony Martial to score his 17th goal of the season and become the fourth United teen to reach the number in one season after George Best, Brian Kidd and Wayne Rooney. 7 7

Marcus Rashford

He tested Lukasz Fabianski with speculative effort in the first half, but did little else in the last third. 5 5

Anthony Martial

It lacks penetration in the first half, but then brought it in for the link game with Greenwood for the equalizer. 7 7

Subs

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

An update on Fosu-Mensah but contributed little. 5 5

Odion Ighalo

I missed an excellent opportunity to cut Greenwood. 5 5

Manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Sudden trust in Fosu-Mensah failed, but was decisive in replacing him. It took too long to make an attack change. 5 5
