This is still funny to me whenever I remember what He did today,like how can a professional player did that”, Erling Haaland reveals the only Man United that made laugh out loud today despite their late victory
Man United gave an encouraging performance against Man City in the Community Shield this afternoon, drawing 1-1 before a penalty shootout defeat.
Andre Onana – Wasn’t tested in the 90 minutes. His passing was hit and miss. Made one decent penalty save. 6/10
Diogo Dalot – A pretty good right-back performance defensively. Dealt with Doku well. I’d like to see him further up the field when United are in possession. Scored his penalty. 6/10
Harry Maguire – Seemingly not fully fit after only just recovering from a knock. Soldiered on for the better part of an hour. 6/10
Jonny Evans – Played the full 90 amid an injury crisis. Kept Haaland quiet. Won plenty of headers. Scooped his spot-kick over the bar.
Lisandro Martinez – Started at left-back which is far from ideal. Offered little threat going forward but was excellent defensively. Scored his pen. 7/10
Casemiro – His best display over the last few weeks. Looked pretty solid throughout. Was good with the ball at feet. Also tucked his penalty away. 7/10
Kobbie Mainoo – His first minutes of the season. Only lasted an hour but it was steady enough from the Englishman. 6/10
Bruno Fernandes – Was at the heart of everything good about United’s attacking play. Scored a worldie that was ruled out for offside. Created loads of chances. Scored his penalty. 8/10
Mason Mount – Energetic. Worked hard for the cause. Drifted all over the field to try get involved. He was decent. 5/10
Amad – A constant threat when in possession. Always direct and gave the City defenders a real tough afternoon. Was involved in some wonderful link-up play. 7/10
Marcus Rashford – Missed a couple of really good opportunities to score. Worked hard on both sides of the ball. 6/10
Subs:
Alejandro Garnacho – Scored a lovely goal to set United on their way. Always looked to attack. Scored his pen.
Jadon Sancho – Came on to freshen things up but wasn’t really involved. Missed his spot-kick.
Facundo Pellistri – Was culpable for the Bernardo equaliser due to poor defending at the back post.
Scott McTominay – Scored his penalty emphatically.
Toby Collyer – Neat and tidy.
