Fulham vs Manchester United player ratings: Who starred, slumped in 1-1 draw?
There were eerily-familiar days for Manchester United and Fulham in a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage on Sunday, and the player ratings show some usual stars and one surprising flop.
Altay Bayindir: 6 — Big leg save on Ryan Sessegnon early. Not great with his feet.
Luke Shaw (Off 87'):: 5 — Couldn't put off Smith Rowe on the equalizer.
Matthijs de Ligt: 8 — Five defensive contributions in the first half
Leny Yoro (Off 87'):: 7.5 — Another strong day defending and moving the ball, although he got away with a foul before scoring United's goal.
Patrick Dorgu: 6 — Went tete-a-tete with Tete in the first half's marquee watch. but struggled in the second 45.
Casemiro (Off '53): 7 — A key component of United making it to halftime at nil-nil. Surprising to see him pulled after 53 minutes.
Bruno Fernandes: 5 — The lack of composure he showed prior to missing the penalty was atypical and quite odd. Followed that up with a starring role in Fulham's equalizer when he opted not to follow Smith Rowe toward Iwobi's cross. Otherwise good in the midfield with Casemiro.
Amad Diallo (Off 53'): 7 — A buzzy performance out wide, as Amad and Dorgu continue to show United's comfortability with Amorim's preferred width. His removal along with Casemiro in the 53rd minute was a surprise.
Mason Mount (Off 69'): 6.5 — Lively early, faded a bit from the game and had to removed for a bit more physicality in the form of Ugarte.
Bryan Mbeumo: 6 — Active again but clunky with his touches in dangerous areas.
Matheus Cunha: 7 — Good energy, initiative, and craft but it's difficult to give a center forward higher than a seven without a truly dangerous chance, let alone a finish.
SubsBenjamin Sesko (On 53'): 5 — We've been told he played 37 minutes. Just 15 touches.Diogo Dalot (On 53'): 6 — Strange that he replaced Diallo and not Shaw or Dorgu.Manuel Ugarte (On 69'): N/AHarry Maguire (On 87'): N/AAyden Heaven (On 87'): N/A
Bernd Leno: — Did so well to stymy Cunha's hard shot in the first 14 minutes
Ryan Sessegnon (Off '62): 6.5 — Ran onto goal early but couldn't beat Bayindir. Otherwise a strong day on the left flank.
Calvin Bassey: 5 — Struggled on his move back inside, conceding a penalty. Not his fault he hit the deck on Yoro's uncalled foul for the goal.
Joachim Andersen: 7 — His good moments made amends for the dodgy few in a strong 90 minutes.
Kenny Tete: 8 — The Tete vs Dorgu battle on Fulham's right side was a fantastic viewing. It might've been close in the first half, but the veteran won the day and then some.
Sander Berge: 6.5 — Active but not as controlling as his best days.
Sasa Lukic: 7 — Was credited with three created chances by halftime. Drew fouls and fouled plenty, too, at the heart of the action.
Alex Iwobi: 7.5 — Always looking for the lethal ball and was the deserved provider on the equalizer.
Josh King (Off 71'): 5 — Largely invisible against Casemiro and Fernandes.
Timothy Castagne (Off '62): 6 — Non-descript day playing out-of-position.
Rodrigo Muniz (Off 71'): 6 — Had a game-high seven touches in the opposition box when he left the match; Unwitting deflector of Yoro's goal.
SubsAntonee Robinson (On 62'): 7 — Looked fit in his return. Made a nice recovery to deny Mbeumo a late break.Harry Wilson (On 62'): N/AEmile Smith Rowe (On 71'): 7 — Great touch to score the equalizer.Raul Jimenez (On 71'): N/A
