Manchester United vs Leicester Player Ratings: Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani Impress – Samuel Luckhurst



[ad_1]

David De Gea

Sloppy with his feet and then his footwork went bad for Harvey Barnes’ tie. Leicester took advantage of his discomfort with the ball at his feet. 5

Victor lindelof

A surprise pick on the right back and he looked as awkward as he was unconvincing. He was injured in the second half. 5

Eric Bailly

Jamie Vardy surprised him in the early stages, but he managed reasonably well on his first outing since Tottenham thrashed in October, but left Vardy uinmark for the leveler. 6

Harry maguire

Clumsy for Barnes’s draw with a punt that did Bruno Fernandes no favors. He led United impressively amid his dominance, but left Vardy unattended. 6

Luke shaw

Not much was tested on defense as Leicester targeted Lindelof and could have claimed an assist with a free kick. United’s most consistent player. 7

Scott McTominay

Rather aggressive, but United couldn’t control the ball in midfield until Paul Pogba entered. McTominay held the fort. 6

Fred

Admonished by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for going away with his usually penetrating passes. He played through Rashford brilliantly for a great opportunity. 6

Bruno fernandes

Right handed with the first goal to a loony tie. He turned down a free header to make it 2-1, but managed to put United back ahead. 6

Daniel James

He did well for goal, but did little more against a higher-class opponent than the standard Leeds Championship defense. 5

Marcus rashford

Stunned for wasting an easy chance to make it 1-0, but had a one-on-one shot repelled by Kasper Schmeichel at 1-1. 6

Anthony Martial

He embarked on a brilliant early career but offered little else in a performance for which he is synonymous. He scored a one-on-one but was offside. 5

Subs

Paul pogba

It unleashed United’s best period. 6

Axel Tuanzebe

Solid after replacing Lindelof. 6

Edinson cavani

Excellent dismissal from Fernandes. 7

Manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Lindelof on the right-back was a predictable bad decision, but his substitutions helped United increase their dominance and win the game. 6
