Player Ratings

Senne Lamens – 7

Aside from an incident early in the game, Lamens had little to do in the first 40 minutes, but made an impressive save from Granit Xhaka's shot.

Old Trafford applauded the young goalkeeper for his successful defense of a simple cross.

Matthijs de Ligt – 7

After not being called up to the Netherlands national team, de Ligt made important interceptions, although his suboptimal touches at the end of the first half created a dangerous situation for Sunderland.

Lenni Yoro – 6

He returned after a weak game from Harry Maguire and did not have as much work as in the last match. However, the inconsistency in passing and clearances in the closing minutes worried fans.

Luke Shaw – 5

The English defender showed unpredictable performances, although this game was better.

Amad Diallo – 7

After returning from his break, he excited the fans, although he initially played some poor passes. Soon after, he became dangerous and forced the Sunderland goalkeeper into several tough saves.

Casemiro – 7

Now that Casemiro's days in the Premier League seem to be behind him, he returned after the red card and stabilized the game in the first half. His pass to Šeško was well-timed.

Bruno Fernandes – 7

He became the catalyst for the team's attacks. His technical finesse was useful, although he did not convert his chance.

Diogo Dalot – 3

Dalot was again the weak link in defense, as noticeable from the start of the game.

With a good pass to Mount, he helped secure victory for the team.

Mason Mount – 8
