Manchester United player ratings: Daniel James and Luke Shaw good against Newcastle – Samuel Luckhurst



[ad_1]

David De Gea

Had an unconvincing start but saved well when called up 1-1 in both halves. One of the most stable at the back. 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Calm in both halves and given Allan Saint-Maximin too much room sometimes. Not built on his performance against Southampton. 6

Victor Lindelof

Newcastle had Lindelof on the back foot from the start and he was not helped by Harry Maguire. Has shown better composure than Maguire. 6

Harry maguire

Slapstick defending throughout, from a teammate’s tackle to an equalizer aid. Maguire’s captain’s credentials are becoming increasingly suspicious. 4

Luke shaw

Drove constantly at Newcastle and were perhaps United’s most reliable striker. Another consistent performance. 7

Fred

Started badly when he faced Maguire and failed to take the initiative in a risk-averse midfield duo. I still can’t shoot. 5

Nemanja Matic

His selection was reinforced by absences in midfield and as problematic as expected. Played a role in the second goal but was indebted to Bruno Fernandes’ touch. 5

Daniel James

Energetic and persevered to score a well-taken fifth goal of the season. Confirmed Solskjaer’s decision to keep him. 8

Bruno Fernandes

Frustrated and often isolated before doing something out of thin air, deftly touching Matic’s punch pass to help James. Scored another penalty. 7

Marcus Rashford

Marked with a direct run when the naive Emil Krafth motioned inside and defeated Karl Darlow at his nearby post. Won the battle penalty. 7

Anthony Martial

Nigh-on anonymous until the 59th minute when he fashioned an opening and tested Darlow. Went out after 70 minutes. Should never have started. 3

Subs

Mason greenwood

Immediately alert and pulled wide. 6

Juan Mata |

He came later than he should have. 6

Shola Shoretire

Made his debut. 6

Director

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Solskjaer is increasingly tired of recalling the same players who are not going to take United to the next level. United’s defense was at times comical. 6
