“He didn’t give my players any breathing space last night. He was the only Manchester United player who turned into prime Ronaldo. Before you knew it, he was in your 18-yard box! I must commend Ten Hag for his great work in shaping him into who he is today.” Real Betis Manager name the One Man United player that almost gave Him heart attack yesterday
Here are our player ratings from Man United’s fourth pre-season game vs Real Betis.
Tom Heaton – Couldn’t do anything about Betis’ two goals. Wore the captain’s armband in the second half. 6/10
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – Heavily linked with a move away but started at right-back here. Perhaps could have challenged harder for the second Betis g
oal. 5/10
Harry Maguire – Involved in the Casemiro goal. Flicked the ball on to keep the attack alive. Defended well. Replaced at half-time. 6/10
Victor Lindelof – Also subbed off at the half as Ten Hag looks to give minutes to all his centre-halves. He did enough. 6/10
Harry Amass – A mixed first half for the young man. Allowed Betis to score down his side but more than made up for it with a lovely cross for the Amad goal. Still so raw. 6/10
Casemiro – Scored United’s third. His best display of the tour so far on both sides of the ball. 6/10
Christian Eriksen – Kept things ticking over when in possession. Always so calm on the ball. 6/10
Amad – Outstanding again. Won a penalty. Also grabbed a goal. Comfortably United’s best attacker as he continues to stake a claim for regular starts. 8/10
Scott McTominay – Always a willing presser, though his on-ball quality is often hit and miss. That continued again here. 5/10
Marcus Rashford – Lasted about an hour before going down with an injury after a blatant foul in the box. Did tuck away a first-half penalty. Looked sharp. 7/10
Jadon Sancho – Started as the striker and looked lively enough, albeit clear it’s not his natural position. 6/10
Subs:
Jonny Evans – Used all his experience when United were under the cosh as Betis looked to get back into it.
Will Fish – Continues to be given meaningful minutes during the tour. Could have a part to play in the early weeks of the season following the Yoro injury news. Booked late on.
James Scanlon – Deployed out of position at right-back again. Did enough defensively.
Sam Murray – Fortunate as his mistake could have led to a Betis penalty.
Maxi Oyedele – Cruised through the second half.
Toby Collyer – Continued to look comfortable at the heart of United’s midfield.
Antony – Displayed some nice skill and quality without really threatening. Came off after being subbed on. Probably injured as he headed straight down the tunnel.
Hannibal – Energetic as per usual. Useful in possession. Had a half-chance with a shot. Booked late on.
Mason Mount – Continues to look sharp in pre-season. Will feel like a new signing.
Ethan Wheatley – Led the line well despite largely feeding off scraps.
Sam Mather – Not enough time to mark.
