Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Senne Lammens – 6/10 – made a couple of good saves but he should have kept out Danny Welbeck’s free kick.

CB – Leny Yoro – 7/10 – the Frenchman had a few dodgy moments early on but his pace got him out of trouble on most occasions.

CB – Matthijs de Ligt – 8/10 – another strong performance from the Dutchman who is already making a case for himself to be the club’s player of the year.


CB – Luke Shaw – 4/10 – United’s third goal could have easily been ruled out for his potential foul on Georginio Rutter, and he could not cope with Yankuba Minteh.
