Manchester United player ratings: Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw good vs
Leicester City
Man United drew 2-2 with Leicester despite twice taking the lead as their
away day winning run ended and here is how they rated.
David de Gea - 5
Careless with his feet and then his footwork was awry for Harvey Barnes'
equaliser. Leicester preyed on his discomfort with the ball at his feet.
Victor Lindelof - 5
A surprise selection at right-back and looked as unomfortable as he was
unconvincing. Came off injured in the second-half.
Eric Bailly - 6
Caught cold by Jamie Vardy in the opening stages but coped reasonably well on
his first start since the Tottenham trouncing in October but left Vardy
uinmark for the leveller.
Harry Maguire - 6
Clumsy for Barnes' equaliser with a clearance that did Bruno Fernandes no
favours. Led United impressively amid their dominance but left Vardy
unattended.
Luke Shaw - 7
Not tested much defensively as Leicester targeted Lindelof and could have
claimed an assist with a free-kick. United's most consistent performer.
Scott McTominay - 6
Aggressive enough but United could not get hold of the ball in midfield until
Paul Pogba came on. McTominay held the fort.
Fred - 6
Admonished by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for being off with his usually piercing
passes. Played through Rashford brilliantly for a great chance.
Bruno Fernandes - 6
From deft with the first goal to daft for the equaliser. Spurned a free
header to make it 2-1 but made amends by coolly putting United ahead again.
Daniel James - 5
Did well for the goal but did little else against a higher class opponent
than Leeds' Championship-standard defence.
Marcus Rashford - 6
Atoned for squandering an easy chance by making it 1-0 but had a one-on-one
shot repelled by Kasper Schmeichel at 1-1.
Anthony Martial - 5
Embarked on a scintillating early run but offered little else in a
performance he is synonymous with. Scored a one-on-one but was offside.
Subs
Paul Pogba - 6
Sparked United's best period.
Axel Tuanzebe - 6
Solid after replacing Lindelof.
Edinson Cavani - 7
Excellent lay-off for Fernandes.
Manager
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 6
Lindelof at right-back was a predictably poor call but his substitutions
helped United increase their dominance and win the game.
