Man Utd player ratings vs AZ Alkmaar: David de Gea good but Fred and Diogo Dalot poor

Manchester United laboured to a 0-0 draw with AZ Alkmaar in The Hague after another dispiriting display from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side. Here's how the players rated:

David de Gea

Made a firm stop from Oussama Idrissi and showed good use of his feet before making a couple more standard saves. 7

Diogo Dalot

Was rebuked early on by Solskjaer and it set the tone for another cowed evening. Looks drained of confidence following the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka. 4

Victor Lindelof

The steadiest performer and one of the few who mastered the plastic surface with their passing. 7

Marcos Rojo

There was the obligatory flicker of recklessness but he fared reasonably alongside Lindelof. 6

Brandon Williams

Game enough on his full debut at left-back but lacked composure in the final third a couple of times. Earned appreciation from fans. 6

Nemanja Matic

Cumbersome in midfield and offered little in either a defensive or attacking capacity again. 3

Fred

The jury may be delivering their verdict soon. Wasteful again on his midweek outing and never looked like picking the AZ lock. 3

Angel Gomes

One of the more respectable performers and refused to go into hiding. Had a half-chance in the first-half and completed 90 minutes. 5

Juan Mata

Remained in the playmaker role as Solskjaer tinkered with the other forwards but United were too rigid. 4

Daniel James

Started as the centre forward and became predictably isolated and was moved to the right. Did not play where he should play on the left. 4

Mason Greenwood

Never really got going wherever he played, having started on the right. Substituted for Jesse Lingard. 4

Subs

Marcus Rashford

Should have had a penalty and blasted a free-kick over. 5

Jesse Lingard

Had a decent chance. Went off injured. 5

Scott McTominay

Came on late. 5
