Senne Lammens: Started well with a smart save from Noah Sadiki and dived at Brian Brobbey’s feet to avert danger. Another big save from Brobbey after the break. Kicking was not great, but kept it risk-free. 8<\/p>\n
Noussair Mazraoui: Struggled when Chemsdine Talbi ran directly at him. Failed to lay down a challenge to Diogo Dalot in the second half of this season and this was below his best. 5<\/p>\n
Harry Maguire: Competitive in the air in both boxes but a disappointing game in possession. Gave it away too softly at times and invited pressure. 6<\/p>\n
Lisandro Martinez: Got his first pass wrong and seemed to dent his confidence. Found it hard against the physical Brobbey, who dominated their battles. 5<\/p>\n
Luke Shaw: Fought pretty well at left-back and felt like he had a solid game given the pressure United were under. Safe in possession but couldn’t get forward enough. 6<\/p>\n
Kobbie Mainoo: Tried to get the game under control but only succeeded in patches. Had to get through a lot of defensive work but struggled without Casemiro to bounce off. 6<\/p>\n
Mason Mount: First start under Carrick. Didn’t get much of a chance to show what he can do on the ball, but worked hard to disrupt things defensively. Partnership with Mainoo felt a little lightweight, though. 6<\/p>\n
Amad: Got a lovely ovation from Sunderland fans when he went over to take a first-half corner. Send a first-half shot wide but struggled to impose himself on the game. 5<\/p>\n
Bruno Fernandes: Clearly frustrated by the team’s performance and never looked like getting that record-equalling assist. A day to forget after a season to remember. 6<\/p>\n
Matheus Cunha: A peripheral presence for a lot of the game. One really tame second-half shot in a game that felt like it needed his quality stamped on it. 5<\/p>\n
Joshua Zirkzee: Sent a free header over the bar in the first half and struggled to hold the ball up. Doesn’t have the quality or tenacity to make it at United long-term. 4<\/p>\n
Substitutes<\/p>\n
Patrick Dorgu: Didn’t get a chance to make a difference. 6<\/p>\n
Bryan Mbeumo: Little time to make an impact. 6<\/p>\n
