Manchester United lose yet another chance of winning silverware and move out of the FA Cup after being defeated by Middlesbrough.
Here are the player ratings for the match:
Dean Henderson – 6.5/10
Had little to do in the 1st half. Did decent throughout. Could have saved at least one penalty.
Diogo Dalot – 6/10
Did well throughout. However, was nowhere to be seen when Matt Crooks scored.
Raphael Varane – 7/10
Varane’s presence calms the defence all around. Created a good link with Maguire and looks well settled in the United.
Harry Maguire – 7/10
A stable performance along with Raphael Varane. Also, put in a spectacular block to stop Andraz Sporar’s shot at 70th minute.
Luke Shaw – 7.5/10
Great performance after his return to the LB position. Played well throughout.
Scott Mctominay – 6.5/10
Competed well with the opposition’s midfield. Functional on the ball and did the passing for Bruno and Pogba to move forward.
Paul Pogba – 7/10
Was the best player on the pitch for United. Clinical passing and great chance creation.
Bruno Fernandes – 7/10
Set-up Sancho for his goal and should have put United back in front but hit the post. However, got tired in the extra-time though.
Jadon Sancho – 6.5/10
Chipped into the bar in the first 90 seconds. However, got his breakthrough after a great ball from Fernandes. However, his performance deteriorated in the 2nd half.
Marcus Rashford – 6/10
I cannot understand the reason Rashford is being played at RW if his previous performances at the position is awful. Denied a goal for being offside in the first half. Got into good positions but never really had the spark.
Cristiano Ronaldo – 5.5/10
A frustrating game for Cristiano. Missed a penalty at the 20th minute and missed a number of chances. Couldn’t do anything throughout the game.
Substitutes:
- Anthony Elanga – 5.5/10
- Fred – 6/10
- Phil Jones – 6/10
- Juan Mata – 6/10
