David de Gea
Guessed the right way for the penalty but could not reach it. Had little else to do in a humdrum game. 6
Diogo Dalot
Left a lot of space in his area that Sociedad never properly exploited. Substituted at half-time in what must have been a pre-planned move. 6
Victor Lindelof
Had a steady game at centre-back but was exposed when he switched to right-back against the tricky Takefusa Kubo. 5

Harry Maguire
Robust in the challenge and did little wrong on his first start since the Brentford debacle on August 13. 6
Tyrell Malacia
Energetic throughout without having a genuine impact down the left behind Anthony Elanga. 6
Casemiro
A cumbersome full debut. Casemiro used the ball better with his head rather than his feet and Scott McTominay could continue to start ahead of him. 5
Fred
Inexplicably moved forward to the No.10 role even though Christian Eriksen was starting and he was a fish out of water. Dropped back in the second-half. 3
Christian Eriksen
By far and away United's best player of the first-half, fashioning their only memorable openings. Withdrawn at the interval. 8
Antony
Curled an effort on target and had some captivating moments but at times it was easy to forget he was still on the pitch. 5
Anthony Elanga
Embarked on some energetic bursts in the first-half but overall another toothless performance in attack. 5
Cristiano Ronaldo
Flagged offside at least four times and he was never on for the disallowed goal. Got worse as the game went on. 4
Subs
Lisandro Martinez
Bailed out Lindelof by clearing Kubo's cross and was then lucklessly penalised for a ridiculous handball inside his area. 7
Bruno Fernandes
Immediately created a chance for Ronaldo from a cross that he wasted. 6
Alejandro Garnacho
Ran about. 5
Jadon Sancho
No impact. 5
Charlie McNeill
Came on for his debut. 5
Manager
Illogical to play Fred as the 10 and he was complacent in substituting Eriksen at half-time when he had been United's best player. 5
