Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Manchester United: Player Ratings

Manchester United Fall to Tottenham: Player Ratings Reveal Brutal Reality

Manchester United’s struggles continued as they fell 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in a frustrating performance. Despite flashes of promise, costly errors and lackluster displays sealed their fate. Here’s how each player fared in a match that exposed United’s weaknesses.

Player Ratings:

Andre Onana – 2
A night to forget. His poor attempt to parry the ball handed Spurs their winning goal, and his distribution lacked precision.

Noussair Mazraoui – 6.5
Defended well against Son Heung-min and delivered a superb cross to Zirkzee, which should have led to a goal.

Harry Maguire – 6
A quiet but solid outing. Held his ground without making major errors.

Matthijs de Ligt – 5
Completely lost track of James Maddison for the opener. Decent after that but needed better awareness.

Diogo Dalot – 4
Missed a good chance and struggled defensively, allowing Son too much space. Offered little in attack.

Casemiro – 2
Disastrous. Sloppy in possession, easily bypassed by opponents, and failed to control the midfield. His decline is evident.

Bruno Fernandes – 4
Set up Garnacho’s big chance but was careless in possession. Nowhere near his usual influence.

Patrick Dorgu – 6
Limited touches but made the most of them. Showed attacking intent and defended well.

Alejandro Garnacho – 5
Missed a crucial chance and ignored overlaps. Showed energy but lacked end product.

Joshua Zirkzee – 7
One of United’s brighter players. Held the ball up well but missed a key header from Mazraoui’s cross.

Rasmus Hojlund – 3
Another tough outing. Struggled centrally but looked slightly better when drifting wide.

Substitutes:

Chido Obi – 5
Came on late for his senior debut with little time to make an impact.

Match Summary:

United lacked sharpness in attack and were undone by defensive lapses. While Zirkzee and Mazraoui showed promise, poor finishing and a lack of creativity proved costly. The team’s inconsistency remains a major concern as pressure mounts on both the players and management.
