How Man Utd star’s ‘failure to follow Ruben Amorim’s instructions’ may have cost Red Devils the game at Tottenham
@Source: thescottishsun.co.uk
Here's how SunSport's Katherine Walsh rated the Manchester United players against an underachieving Spurs side - who are now three places above them in 12th - in North London.
Andre Onana - 3
United can't do anything with him between the sticks. Can't be trusted to collect anything.
His opposite number Vicario showed him a thing or two after returning for the first time since Spurs thrashed Man City in November.
At fault for the first goal when he palmed out a relatively weak bouncing shot into Maddison's path in the 13th minute.
Noussair Mazraoui - 5
An OK performance. Clever link-up play with Zirkzee but couldn't get hold of Spence down the left-hand side.
Pulled out an excellent cross for the Dutchman's headed chance late-on.
Matthijs de Ligt - 6
His clearance stopped an obvious 2-0 before the half-an-hour mark.
Harry Maguire - 5
A mixed bag. Long ball over the top for Hojlund's chance in opening 10 minutes and went on a few attacking runs himself in the first half.
Did well to stop Dejan Kulusevski from having a go at the edge of the box. But bizarrely stopped in his tracks when a cross came flying into Son later on.
Diogo Dalot - 6
A difficult afternoon for the Portugal international as Son and Djed Spence left him for dead a few times.
Hesitated when asked to shoot from five yards to make it 1-0 but helped Onana out with some clearances too.
Patrick Dorgu - 4
A Prem debut to forget. He was almost invisible from the left-hand side. And lacked quality when asked to get involved more in the second half.
Was stupidly caught offside with Bruno Fernandes offloading a stunning cross pitch pass and booked late-on.
Casemiro - 5
Looked every bit a player that hasn't played Premier League football for two months. Unsurprisingly booked for a late one on Son.
Bizarrely dropped to the turf asking for a free-kick when nobody touched him. Was forced to play 89 minutes with eight teenagers on the bench. A difficult afternoon, indeed.
Bruno Fernandes - 5
Interceptions and breaking up play is not a part of the captain's game. An uncharacteristically poor cross left United open on the counter.
Did get back to stop Son from having a shot at Onana on the hour mark and started ticking in attack in the final 20 minutes.
Alejandro Garnacho - 4
Looked shaky and cut a frustrated figure after blazing over an absolute SITTER from 10 yards to level the scores.
A bit of a shocker and looked a completely different player to the one who got United into the fifth-round of the FA Cup last week.
Woke up a bit in the second half as Vicario kept him at bay with several superb stops. But the 20-year-old is clearly better off the bench.
Joshua Zirkzee - 6
The best of a desperately poor front three. There's a street player in there and he's great with his touches at times.
But curled wide from 23 yards, stuck a header wide in the 70th minute and kicked an air shot in the final five minutes.
Rasmus Hojlund - 3
Is Hojlund the worst No 9 in United's recent history?
The young Dane, who was unlucky to have a chance saved by Vicario, was second best in every loose ball and kept losing possession.
He was even caught offside after a pass from an Onana goal-kick in the first half - how often do you see that happen?
