Manchester United player ratings: Daniel James lively but Marcus Rashford awful vs West Ham

David de Gea

Made some decent saves but wasn't tested much. Wasn't helped by his defence and should have done better with the second goal. 4

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Was good at times defensively but United are already over reliant on his tackling. Offered little in attack. 5

Victor Lindelof

Didn't cover himself in glory and struggled with the physical attacking approach from West Ham. 4

Harry Maguire

Started the game well but was poor for the first goal and missed a glorious chance of his own. 5

Ashley Young

Solid when required to defend but offers little going forward and was pretty awful on set-pieces. 4

Nemanja Matic

Another uninspiring performance in midfield. 3

Andreas Pereira

Still unclear exactly what he offers to this United team or his best role. Works hard, but little end product from him on the right wing. 4

Scott McTominay

Plenty of spirit and fight but lacked any creativity, a theme common among every United midfielder. 5

Juan Mata

Looked lost when on the ball and was unable to create any real chances. His miss at the start of the second half was poor. 4

Daniel James

Lively as you'd expect, but failed to ever get going in any attacking capacity. 5

Marcus Rashford

Offered very little up front and his day went from bad to worse by ending prematurely through injury. 3

Subs:

Fred

(On for Matic, 71.) Baffling as to why he was brought on so late. Looked promising again, but needs consistent playing time. 5

Angel Gomes

(On for Mata, 81.)  No time to impress N/A.

Jesse Lingard

(On for Rashford, 60.) Added some much needed energy to the attack, but was unable to offer a real threat at goal. 4

Not used: Romero, Rojo, Tuanzebe, Chong.
