Below are the Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur player ratings, with a mark out of 10 and analysis on each player.
Manchester United player ratings
Senne Lammens: 6 - Didn’t have to much to do throughout. A very relaxed outing.
Diogo Dalot: 8 - Some surging runs forward on the right, had some pops from distance and a fine cross for the second goal.
Harry Maguire: 7 - Solid defensively and caused a nuisance from set pieces at the other end.
Lisandro Martinez: 7 - Stepped in to midfield well and got on the ball as much as possible.
Luke Shaw: 7 - Another really solid defensive display and had some chances to score too. Great to see him back fully-fit.
Casemiro: 8 - Went close with a header and kept popping up in dangerous areas. Lucky to not be seriously injured by Romero.
Kobbie Mainoo: 8 - Another assured display in midfield on the ball and so composed in tight areas.
Amad Diallo: 8 - Buzzed around everywhere and caused Spurs so many problems.
Bruno Fernandes: 8 - Kept having a pop and eventually got his goal late on. His quality on the ball is incredible.
Matheus Cunha: 8 - So close to scoring a stunner in the first half and worked so hard from the left.
Bryan Mbeumo: 8 - Took his goal calmly and like Diallo and Cunha, worked so hard in attack to unsettle Spurs.
Substitutes
Benjamin Sesko (on for Cunha, 75'): 7 - A focal point after coming on and played a role in the second goal as his confidence continues to grow.
Noussair Mazraoui (on for Shaw, 87'): N/A
Manuel Ugarte (on for Casemiro, 87'): N/A
Joshua Zirkzee (on for Mbeumo, 87'): N/A
Tottenham Hotspur player ratings
Guglielmo Vicario: 7 - Probably the only Spurs player who could say they had a good game. Some superb saves throughout.
Archie Gray: 6 - Did his best at right back and tried to get forward whenever he could.
Cristian Romero: 2 - Another moment where he lost his head and got a straight red card. After sounding off in the week, he let his teammates down.
Micky Van de Ven: 6 - On his return to the team, battled away in the absence of Romero.
Destiny Udogie: 5 - Had a tough time with Diallo and then subbed off through injury.
Joao Palhinha: 6 - Did well to try and protect the defense and keep it respectable.
Conor Gallagher: 5 - Put in a real shift but couldn’t have an impact on the game going forward.
Pape Matar Sarr: 5 - See above. Worked hard but just couldn’t get on the ball at all.
Wilson Odobert: 5 - Some nice touches but subbed off in the first half due to Romero’s red card.
Dominic Solanke: 6 - Some good hold up play and almost finished off a cross in the first half. A real handful.
Xavi Simons: 6 - Some nice touches in the second half and did his best to try and inspire Spurs to an unlikely point.
