Highlights https://bit.ly/33Fme1l
Man United played Aston Villa in their only pre-season friendly at Villa Park
as Donny van de Beek and Dean Henderson had their first run-outs for the
first-team.
Dean Henderson - 6
Had little to do with his hands but showcased his underrated distribution
with his first pass to Diogo Dalot.
Diogo Dalot - 5
Got caught out for Villa's second-best chance when Jack Grealish got the run
on him and was rarely seen in attack.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah - 6
A reasonably solid performance from the Jack-of-all-trades at centre half.
Fosu-Mensah's versatility continues to endear him to Solskjaer.
Harry Maguire - 5
Caught ball-watching for Ollie Watkins' winner and was on his heels when
Watkins skied a chance from Grealish's cross.
Luke Shaw - 6
Proactive and delivered the odd inviting cross that was not met on his first
appearance since July.
Scott McTominay - 7
Had a polished first-half and operated at a good tempo but came off at
half-time for Ethan Galbraith.
Donny van de Beek - 7 (荷蘭人初登場!!!)
Demanded the ball whenever he did not have it and got forward from his
deep-lying role. Slick on the ball but not as profound in the second-half.
Daniel James - 7
Maybe his most productive United performance of the calendar year. Offered
good service, proactive and crudely fouled by Matthew Cash.
Jesse Lingard - 6
Tested Jed Steer twice in the first-half and was tidy whenever he received
the ball. Intuitively drifted into the middle to support the forwards.
Marcus Rashford - 5
Played in the No.10 role and did not look comfortable there. Equally as
guilty as Ighalo of not offering a penalty box presence.
Odion Ighalo - 4
The sun was out and all Ighalo was missing was a deckchair. Nowhere to be
seen for a number of presentable crosses and replaced by Teden Mengi.
Subs
Ethan Galbraith (19 yrs old) - 6
Close to scoring.
Teden Mengi (18 yrs old) - 6
More deserved first-team exposure.
Brandon Williams - 5
Came on at right-back.
Lee Grant - 5
A rare outing.
Anthony Elanga (18 yrs old) - 6
Made his first-team bow.
