Manchester United player ratings vs Leeds: Jadon Sancho good but Fred poor

David de Gea

Beaten at his near post by Wilfried Gnonto and casual in handling Pascal Struijk's header and again for Raphael Varane's own goal. 5

Diogo Dalot

Returned to the team for the first time in four weeks and athletic with his overlapping runs. Fine cross for Marcus Rashford. 6

Raphael Varane

A rare evening where he looked uncomfortable amid the intensity from Leeds and he put through his own net. Almost scored at the other end. 5

Lisandro Martinez

One of the few whose aggression matched Leeds' although he was too open for Gnonto's shot. Martinez was the most stable of the back four. 7

Luke Shaw

Not as productive with Rashford on the opposite flank but improved when Jadon Sancho came on and did well for the equaliser. 6

Marcel Sabitzer

Took time to adjust to the intensity but started to impose himself and came close with a couple of shots. Decent full debut. 7

Fred

A regressive night. More than once, United fans groaned at a misplaced Fred pass and his runs were counter-productive. Irked the crowd time and again. 3

Alejandro Garnacho

Started sloppily but then had two excellent chances - one wide and one off the line. Dived to win a free-kick and at fault for the second goal. 4

Bruno Fernandes

Robbed of the ball by Tyler Adams for Gnonto's goal after 56 seconds. Guilty of trying too hard by straying out of position and rushing set-pieces. 5

Marcus Rashford

Oddly started and ended the first-half out of position on the right, though he collaborated well with Dalot at times. Moved nearer goal in the second and scored superbly. 7

Wout Weghorst

So out of kilter with the rest of his teammates, who still seem stumped on how to supply him. Utterly ineffectual. 3

Subs

Facundo Pellistri

Did brilliantly to retain the ball for United to score from Rashford's header. 7

Jadon Sancho

Direct and made it 2-2 with what was his first goal since September. 7

Tyrell Malacia

Came on at right-back. 5

Victor Lindelof

Played in midfield. 5

Manager

Inexplicably started Rashford on the right and kept him there for the whole of the first-half. Should have made a half-time change and the changes changed the game. 6
