Manchester United beat Wolves 1-0 at Molyneux this afternoon in the Premier League. Here are our player ratings for the game:
(A score of 6 is around average.)
David de Gea 7 – Good save from Neves’ free-kick and great save at discount. He had very little to do otherwise.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 7.5 – An excellent tackle into the penalty area in the first half saved a sure goal. But leaving too much space on his flank sometimes with that old habit of drifting into the field for no reason. Better in the second half.
Raphael Varane 7.5 – He did well.
Luke Shaw 7.5 – A good game for Shaw at center back.
Tyrell Malacia 7.5 – Very well defended. He ventured forward a few times, but he’d like to see more.
Christian Eriksen 5 – Silent and ineffective. The normal personality of him was lost in the game.
Casemiro 6 – He did well but he didn’t dominate the game like he did against Burnley and Forest.
Antony 4 – Very poor in the first half and hard to understand why he wasn’t the one to come out at half time. Shameful dribbling, regrettable passes and poor definition. Good second half follow up to prevent United from being caught at half time.
Bruno Fernandes 5.5 – An unusually ineffective and subdued performance from Bruno. Terrible free kick.
Alejandro Garnacho 5.5 – It’s not his day, it should have ended because of a defensive error. However, I worked hard.
Anthony Martial 5.5 He didn’t get much serve and didn’t do much with it when he got it.

Marcus Rashford 8 – Saved the day. Great goal out of nowhere. He could have gone down due to a penalty, but he was strong and determined. Bad luck with the rejected one, too. He probably would have gotten in with or without the hand’s involvement.
Fred 7 – Lively, an improvement on Eriksen.
Donny van de Beek 5.5 – Got cleared a couple of times, but didn’t make it count.
Harry Maguire 6 – Little influence.
Anthony Elanga 6 – Little influence.
