Man Utd ratings: Andre Onana drops clanger to gift Brighton three points as Amad is Red Devils’ only real bright spot
ANDRE ONANA was back to his worst as Manchester United fell to another Old Trafford defeat.
It appeared Ruben Amorim‘s side had turned a corner in recent weeks with a draw at Anfield and an FA Cup penalty shoot-out win at Arsenal.
But dreadful individual mistakes cost them yet again with Onana the chief culprit.
The keeper was at fault for two of Brighton’s three goals – dropping a huge clanger as he palmed a simple cross straight to Georginio Rutter under no pressure whatsoever.
Minutes earlier he watched as Yankuba Minteh floated a cross over the six-yard box which he should have come to collect – his failure to do so meant Kaoru Mitoma had a simple tap in at the back post.
There were few positive notes for the Red Devils as Amad once again provided a spark.
Here is how SunSport’s Ken Lawrence rated the United display.
ANDRE ONANA – 2
No chance with the Seagulls’ first goal. But allowed a cross to float over him for Mitoma to add the second before an awful howler to gift them their third.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT – 5
Certainly doesn’t look like he likes players running at him as Kaoru Mitoma constantly did. Looked unsure of himself all the way through.
HARRY MAGUIRE – 6
The one member of United three–man central defence who looked like he knew what he was doing. Beginning to believe in himself again.
CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS
LENY YORO – 5
The £52M youngster is still settling into the Premier League to be fair to him. But he is certainly taking his time about it.
NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI – 4
Has been one of the few consistent successes of Ruben Amorim’s tactical revolution. Yet he had a real shocker this time around.
MANUAL UGARTE – 5
Supposedly “tired” in the 3-1 win over Southampton, the midfielder looked brighter here. Yet he still doesn’t look that switched-on.
KOBBIE MAINOO – 4
Where is last season’s Kobbie? Looks nothing like the buzzing homegrown midfielder who burst on the scene last season.
DIOGO DALOT – 5
Did his duties as a left wing-back to the best of his abilities. Another United player, however, who looked nothing like sharp enough.
AMAD DIALLO – 7
Thursday night’s 12-minute treble hero on a high again – unlike, again, so many team mates. Sometimes his footwork is just dazzling.
BRUNO FERNANDES – 6
He was ultra-cool from the spot but that goal didn’t do much to raise his performance level. Had one of those days where nothing really clicked.
JOSHUA ZIRKZEE – 5
“Won” the penalty after being brought down although Carlos Baleba’s challenge would have looked good in a wrestling ring. There’s a footballer in there somewhere…
SUBS
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (for Mainoo 64) – 5
Struggled to make an impact in a team that was being taken apart.
TOBY COLLYER (for Ugarte 64) – 5
Plenty of youthful commitment but still too inexperienced to lift a side as poor as Amorim’s.
ANTONY (for Mazraoui 84) – 4
Talk about a last throw of the dice by Amorim???
RASMUS HOJLUND (for Zirkzee 84) – 4
Given a thankless task in the closing moments of another depressing display.
