Manchester United player ratings: David de Gea and Jesse Lingard brilliant vs West Ham

David de Gea

Made a simple save from Jarrod Bowen and could do nothing about Said Benrahma's deflected goal. Late penalty save. 8

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Unusually proactive and responded positively to midweek dismissal in the first-half. Not as adventurous in the second. 6

Raphael Varane

Unfortunate the ball ricocheted off him for the opening goal. Otherwise defended classily in duels. 7

Harry Maguire

Galvanised West Ham with his dithering defending and not at his optimum in both areas. 5

Luke Shaw

A constant down the left and his set-pieces were a threat but United never took advantage of Shaw's service. Carelessly outstretched arm to concede penalty. 6

Scott McTominay

Uncharacteristically tentative and seemed rushed back for his first start in five weeks. More like himself in the second-half but needlessly rushed back. 6

Fred

Careless with the ball and off the pace for West Ham's breakaways. Fortunate to have lasted as long as he did. 4

Mason Greenwood

A threat on the ball and United needed to get him on it more. Underused in the second-half and made way for Jadon Sancho. 6

Bruno Fernandes

Started sloppily but, once he found his rhythm, struck the post and assisted Cristiano Ronaldo's equaliser. 6

Paul Pogba

Started on the left but drifted inside and controlled the midfield, where McTominay and Fred struggled. Faded in the second-half. 6

Cristiano Ronaldo

Made it four goals in three games back at United. Should have buried an early second-half chance and desperately claimed for a penalty. 6

Subs

Jesse Lingard

Played a good cross no one got onto. Then he let rip and won it. 8

Jadon Sancho

A blunt cameo. 5

Nemanja Matic

Late sub and an assist. 7

Manager

Got it wrong rushing McTominay back to partner Fred and took the wrong midfielder off in Pogba but came good with his introduction of Lingard and Matic. 7
