Manchester United player ratings: How Amorim’s men fared in a dramatic 2-2 Premier League draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
Bryan Mbeumo was the standout performer for Manchester United, but his efforts were undermined by his teammates as the Red Devils shared the spoils in a tense encounter with Spurs. Ruben Amorim made three adjustments to his lineup, bringing in Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui, and Patrick Dorgu in place of Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot, and Benjamin Sesko.
United took the lead when the impressive Mbeumo nodded home from close range after an excellent delivery from Amad Diallo, following some smart link-up play by Matheus Cunha during an otherwise subdued opening half.
Tottenham came out stronger after the interval, forcing Senne Lammens into two fine saves, while Brennan Johnson saw a goal ruled out for offside. The pressure eventually paid off as Mathys Tel found space in the box to level the score.
Just when United looked set to settle for a point, Richarlison appeared to snatch victory for Spurs with a late header in stoppage time. However, Amorim’s side refused to give up, and Matthijs De Ligt rescued a dramatic draw with a last-gasp equaliser.
Here’s how the United players were rated:
Senne Lammens – 6
A nervous start as he gifted away a corner early on but grew into the game with key saves, particularly from Romero. Could do little to prevent either goal.
Matthijs De Ligt – 8
Outstanding at both ends of the pitch. Made vital defensive interventions and scored the crucial late equaliser to secure a point for United.
Harry Maguire – 6
Solid for most of the match, handled Kolo Muani well, and provided a reliable defensive presence before being forced off with an injury.
Bryan Mbeumo – 8
United’s brightest spark, scoring the opener and constantly troubling Tottenham’s backline with his energy and movement.
Amorim’s men showed resilience to claim a draw, but questions remain over their defensive concentration late in games.
