Man United player ratings vs Tottenham: Pogba good but David de Gea poor

David de Gea

Poor error for the Bergwijn goal and the save from Son Heung-min was routine. His number one status is in increasing doubt. 4

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Bruno Fernandes implored him to get forward but he rarely did. Struggled to shackle Son Heung-min in their duel. 5

Victor Lindelof

Harry Maguire was more culpable for Bergwjn's goal and Lindelof could not get across to close the gap or block the shot. 5

Harry Maguire

His immobility was brutally exposed by Bergwijn for the goal and it changed the game. Careless for a Spurs chance in the second-half, too. 4

Luke Shaw

Could not quell the marauding Serge Aurier down his side in the first-half but grew into the game. Key tackle on Erik Lamela kept it at 1-0 and he fashioned a chance for Anthony Martial. 6

Scott McTominay

Aggressive and vocal, as the referee will attest, but left Fred isolated at times and it contributed to the opener. 6

Fred

Got caught out a couple of times early on and lacked the cynicism to upend Bergwijn en route to scoring. Made way for Paul Pogba. 5

Bruno Fernandes

United's most inventive player again. Fashioned two of United's best chances in either half for Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. Equalised. 7

Daniel James

Almost always selected against the elite but did not vindicate his inclusion this time. Never got the measure of Ben Davies and unsurprisingly substituted. 4

Marcus Rashford

Had a good chance to put United 1-0 up but lost the challenge that led to Bergwijn's breakaway goal and he was erratic on the ball. 5

Anthony Martial

"Get in the box, Antho," Solskjaer shouted at Martial. He stayed outside the box. Came alive to elicit a world-class save from Hugo Lloris. 5

Subs

Mason Greenwood

Offered pace. 6

Paul Pogba

Enhanced United almost immediately and won the penalty that Fernandes converted. 7

Odion Ighalo

Offered a different outlet. 5

Nemanja Matic

Let Pogba and Fernandes off the leash. 6

Eric Bailly

Came on late to shore things up. N/A
