Man United player ratings against RB Leipzig: David de Gea poor, but Paul Pogba decent – Samuel Luckhurst

David De Gea

Helpless for the first two goals on his return to the team and couldn’t build trust among the people in front of him. 3

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Angelino passed him so often that he must have been wearing an invisibility cloak. Wan-Bissaka doesn’t like to attack and doesn’t like to defend. 2

Victor Lindelof

Overwhelmed by Leipzig’s intensity and only looked pleasant in the quieter times of the game. Booked and replaced in the second half. 4th

Harry Maguire

Maguire was defensive to United’s defensive foreplay, if only he was that defensive on the pitch. Overrun by Leipzig’s fast strikers. Could be credited with the second goal. 3

Luke Shaw

On his return to the side flooded in a threesome and punished the rustiness of Leipzig. Was also booked. 4th

Alex Such

Made the same mistake as Wan-Bissaka for the second goal and was substituted off at half time. 3

Scott McTominay

Tried to get United up and running in the first half to no avail. I stayed to level the midfield. 5

Nemanja Matic

A risky choice that failed before the second minute. The inclusion of Matic via Donny van de Beek and Paul Pogba must have been canceled in Leipzig. 3

Bruno Fernandes

Isolated and quickly frustrated with no more midfield foil amid United’s draining defense. One of the more attentive players who was unlucky enough to hit the bar with a free kick but scored a penalty. 7th

Marcus Rashford

He’s had enough exertion to harm Leipzig, and his running had them on his hind foot, but he never really tested the goalkeeper. 5

Mason Greenwood

There was some virtuoso ability from Greenwood and while he hasn’t scored he’s undoubtedly back in shape. 6th



Subs

Donny van de Beek

Immediately offer another attack exit and gave United more meaning. 6th

Paul Pogba

Jumped imperiously to force the second gate in front of Maguire. Better than most teammates. 7th

Brandon Williams

Helped move United higher. 6th

Axel Tuanzebe

An odd late arrival, but its speed helped. 6th

Timothy Fosu-Mensah

A strange late arrival. 5

Manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

The formation was understandable, but some employees looked negatively at United, invited Leipzig and they got hammered. 3
