Manchester United player ratings vs Omonia as Anthony Martial good but Jadon Sancho poor

David de Gea

Well beaten for the goal and otherwise had next to nothing to do in a game that United had nearly 80 per cent of the ball. 6

Diogo Dalot

Tidy enough without making much of a difference at either end as he continued his run of starting every game this season. 6

Victor Lindelof

Got outpaced a couple of times and was out of the picture for the goal but that was hardly his fault. 6

Lisandro Martinez

The defender ended the first-half as United's best attacker. Martinez's line-breaking passing was useful time and again for United. 8

Tyrell Malacia

Sloppy before and after the goal and his role in it sparked the breakaway Omonia scored from. Substituted at half-time for the second game running. 3

Casemiro

No major impact again, which could delay a Premier League start by another week, in a game United hardly had to defend. 6

Christian Eriksen

Naively left goalscorer Karim Ansarifard unmarked when Malacia had reasonably recovered. Not at his optimum. 6

Antony

Passed up an easy shooting chance at 0-0 and drew a good save from Fabiano. Guilty of coasting at times. More alert in the second-half. 5

Bruno Fernandes

Lobbed the ball onto the crossbar and was one of the more temperate forwards as United dominated until they gifted Omonia a goal. Came off for Anthony Martial. 6

Jadon Sancho

Fortunate to start and had an air of frivolousness on the ball. His role in Omonia's goal encapsulated his play; he is in danger of appearing like a freestyle footballer. Subbed at the pause. 3

Cristiano Ronaldo

Drew a good save from Fabiano and engineered the gap for Marcus Rashford to score but snatched at some chances. Missed a sitter. 5

Subs

Marcus Rashford

The demotion had the desired effect. Rashford scored eight minutes into the second-half to make it 1-1. Tapped in to kill the game. 8

Luke Shaw

An improvement on Malacia. 6

Anthony Martial

Came on and scored again to put United ahead. Should have started and has to start against Everton. 8

Fred

Erred early on but improved and had a shot saved. 6

Scott McTominay

Came on late to offer fresh legs in midfield. 6

Manager

Picked a strong team and was let down by complacent play in the final third. Raised questions about his loyalty to certain players by starting Malacia and then subbing him swiftly. His changes changed the game. 7
