Manchester United player ratings: Anthony Martial and Alex Telles poor vs West Ham

Dean Henderson

Powerless to prevent Manuel Lanzini's opening goal and had little to do otherwise. Two big saves late on kept United in it. 7

Diogo Dalot

Proactive and intent on placing the average position for United right-backs further forward. Not troubled much defensively. 6

Victor Lindelof

Ball ricocheted off him for Lanzini's strike. Complemented Bailly reasonably well, bar the loose start West Ham took advantage of. 5

Eric Bailly

An impressive return on his first club appearance of the season. There was the occasional needless risk but he was largely secure. 7

Alex Telles

Rushed back and it showed. Was skinned before Ryan Fredericks had him on toast for the goal. Did not look fully fit. 4

Nemanja Matic

Embarked on one run that almost led to a goal in the first-half but looked leggy in the second and his passing became sloppy. 5

Donny van de Beek

Put himself about from deep and played tidy passes. Found Mason Greenwood brilliantly for a great chance. A morale-boosting 90 minutes. 6

Jadon Sancho

Too quiet too often yet when he switched through the gears he was a threat. More active in the second-half but another subdued night. 5

Juan Mata

Unfortunate not to score when Alphonse Areola tipped his effort onto the crossbar. Made way for younger legs in Mason Greenwood. 6

Jesse Lingard

Bright and should have had a penalty when Noble tugged at him. Linked the play well without having a real chance at goal. 6

Anthony Martial

An occasional threat in the first-half but he lacked the presence and intensity of Edinson Cavani, never mind Cristiano Ronaldo. 4

Subs

Mason Greenwood

Almost immediately scored. 6

Bruno Fernandes

Tried too hard. 5

Anthony Elanga

Slotted in at left-back. 5

Manager

Picked a strong enough side to win but the sole risky return backfired with Telles. Should have taken Martial off rather than Mata. 5
