Manchester United player ratings vs Aston Villa: Pereira amateurish and Lindelof weak

David de Gea

Powerless to prevent Jack Grealish's superb strike and Tyrone Mings' volley went past him before he knew it. 5

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Did little of any effect in either third and once again looked particularly awkward in the attacking third in the first-half. Much more adventurous in the second. 6

Victor Lindelof

Lucky to still be considered a starter in the league. Wasteful and weak in the first-half but scored a well-taken header in the second. 5

Harry Maguire

Booked early on and it set the tone for a hesitant afternoon for the United captain. In danger of plateauing. 5

Brandon Williams

Seemed a bit cowed by Villa's dominance and could not get going in either third. Got booked and caught out for Mings' equaliser. 4

Andreas Pereira

Amateurish again in the deep-lying midfield role. Tried to unsettle Grealish by fouling him then let him inside to score. Great cross for the equaliser. 3

Fred

Showed quick-thinking for the corner United levelled from but, again, looked forlorn with Pereira as his midfield partner. 5

Daniel James

Showed glimpses but his performance dipped with the team's and Solskjaer had him switch wings with Marcus Rashford. 6

Juan Mata

Ineffectual on his recall and how United fans must have glanced enviously at Villa's No.10 Grealish. First to be substituted. 4

Marcus Rashford

Had he maintained composure at 0-0 United would probably have taken the lead. Lucky to force the equaliser, having missed the target. 5

Anthony Martial

An anonymous figurehead at times. Had a tame effort at Tom Heaton and picked up a bit after the pause. Dormant for spells. 5

Subs

Jesse Lingard

Did nothing of note. 5

Luke Shaw

Careless and booked. 4

Mason Greenwood

Tried. 5
