Matt Koller, Ash Bohra and Tushar Rhode join editors Georgy Tsepkovskiy and Eugene Vasilyev to rate the players in the 2-1 win.
David De Gea – 9
Ash: “Great saves. Kept us in the game.”
Matt: “Showed us glimpses of the real DDG, the one we always want to see. Crucial saves which were critical for the 3 points.”
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 7
Ash: “One of his better games. Great cross for the goal.”
Tushar: “Though he looked fairly solid, I’m seriously very concerned about his aerial positioning when an overhead cross comes in from the right. Looked compromised by McGinn, but redeemed himself through a great assist.”
Eric Bailly – 9
Matt: “Outstanding, was MOTM for me last game and was better this game. If he can stay fit he’s the perfect fit to Maguire.”
Tushar: “No one like him when he’s on song, arguably our best CB when he’s playing like this.”
Paul Pogba – 8.5
Georgy: “If this is a sign of things to come from Pogba in 2021, our Premier League rivals better look out. Absolute masterclass in midfield from the Frenchman.”
Matt: “Well played Pogba, dominant in the game at both ends. Well played. Unlucky to not get a goal, had a few chances!”
Bruno Fernandes – 7.5
Ash: “Engine of the team. Coolest penalty taker on the planet.”
Matt: “A decent penalty. Other than that didn’t do much. Looked like he got pushed to the left wing when we resumed our 4-2-3-1. I’m not bothered, its nice to know we aren’t always reliant on him.”
Daniel James – 4
Eugene: “I defended his sub on the chat as he would’ve been a valuable addition for the final stage of the game (counter-attacks) but boy, he lacks any sense of composure. Fluffed two good opportunities to create danger and, consequently, avoid a squeaky bum time.”
Georgy: “While it remains to be seen whether James what it takes to be a first-team player at Manchester United, the Welshman had a simple task against Aston Villa: exhaust as much energy as possible in the final stages of the game.”
The rest: Maguire – 8, Shaw – 7.5, Fred – 8, Rashford – 7, Martial – 7.5, Matic – 5, McTominay – 6, Tuanzebe – N/A.
