Man United player ratings: Fernandes gets 3/10 but three 4/10 ace disappoint in 1-1 draw vs…

Manchester United drew 1-1 with Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Sunday.

Manager Ruben Amorim made just one change to his team that suffered a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal last weekend.

Amad Diallo came in place of Diogo Dalot to provide attacking impetus from the beginning.

The visitors started the game brightly with Matheus Cunha firing three shots in 13 minutes.

The hosts grew into the game, but a penalty was given against them after the intervention of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

Bruno Fernandes, usually one of the most reliable from the spot, shockingly blazed his spot-kick over, sending the home crowd into raptures.

United finally found a breakthrough, albeit fortuitous, as Rodrigo Muniz diverted the ball into his own net.

Emile Smith-Rowe brought the parity to the score line after spending just one minute and 33 seconds on the pitch.

Both teams lacked quality in the final third, leaving them with a point each in the end.

Player Ratings

Altay Bayindir – 7/10

Bayindir showed quick alertness to deny Josh King by coming out quickly and spreading his legs. He almost earned an assist, but Cunha failed to capitalise on that opportunity.

Leny Yoro – 8/10

The teenager produced a sensational last-ditch challenge to deny King a one-on-one opportunity. Minutes later, his deflected header gave United the lead.

Matthijs de Ligt – 4/10

Inexcusably left the cross to go past him for Fulham’s leveller. Harry Maguire could now replace him in the next game.

Luke Shaw – 5/10

Shaw lost his composure like the rest of the team when Fulham applied intense pressure.

Patrick Dorgu – 5/10

The Denmark international saw a lot of the ball but failed to create chances for his team.

Amad Diallo – 4/10

An extremely quiet evening for Diallo in his first start of the new campaign. He lacked the urgency and rarely took on defenders.

Casemiro – 5/10

The Brazilian failed to find his teammates with his long passes, unlike the Arsenal game. He picked up a booking for simulation and was subbed off in the 50th minute.

Bruno Fernandes – 3/10

A dreadful penalty miss from the skipper that gave Fulham the confidence to go toe-to-toe with United.

Mason Mount – 6/10

Fantastic turn to nearly bag an early assist for Cunha and contributed with a few flicks. His influence faded after the first 30 minutes.

Bryan Mbeumo – 5/10

A frustrating outing for the new Man United signing as Calvin Bassey got the better of him numerous times.

Matheus Cunha – 7/10

Cunha fired three early shots, with one hitting the woodwork. He got another opportunity from Bayindir’s pass, but Bernd Leno made a fantastic save from point-blank range.

Substitutes

Diogo Dalot – 4/10

The full-back lost the ball in the build-up to Fulham’s equaliser.

Benjamin Sesko – 5/10

The 22-year-old was rusty, showing Amorim is right to not hand him his full debut yet.

Manuel Ugarte – 6/10

Ugarte did his job to win the ball back a few times with the hosts searching for a winner.

Harry Maguire – 6/10

Maguire was not far off to put United ahead as his header landed just wide of the far post from the corner.

Ayden Heaven – 6/10

Heaven came on late for Luke Shaw.
