Dalot celebrates putting United ahead
Manchester United saw the chance to go fifth in the Premier League slip through their fingers as they threw away a lead against West Ham at Old Trafford. Diogo Dalot’s goal just before the hour mark looked like landing Ruben Amorim back-to-back wins in the Premier League but momentum was again checked.
West Ham had posed little threat following a bright opening but found an equaliser from a corner when Soungoutou Magassa slammed home after Noussair Mazraoui had cleared off the line.
Here are the United player ratings from Old Trafford:
Senne Lammens: One wayward kick in the first half but was solid aside from that. Didn’t have a lot to do but safe hands when Bowen’s shot was deflected his way. Nothing he could do to prevent the goal. 6
Noussair Mazraoui: Solid on his return to the team. A vital late block and a goalline clearance that deserved more than the rebound going in. 6
Ayden Heaven: First Premier League start of the season but he had a half to forget. Callum Wilson played on his lack of experience, he got too tight at times and was booked for a rash tackle on Jarrod Bowen. 4
Luke Shaw: Defended well for the most part and saw plenty of the ball in the second half when United were probing for an opening, but a lack of height at the back was exposed. 6
Amad: Created a chance for Joshua Zirkzee with quick feet and looked like making things happen again. Needs to get the ball high up the pitch to really influence the game. 7
Casemiro: Wasn’t great on the ball and didn’t bring the composure United needed in their game. Got an assist but more through luck than judgment. 6
Bruno Fernandes: His range of passing in the first half was good but snatched at two injury-time chances to win the game. 6
Diogo Dalot: Struggled against Aaron Wan-Bissaka at times in the first half but showed superb composure to take his goal well. 7
Bryan Mbeumo: Probably the most likely of the front three to score and forced Alphonse Areola into a good save, but should have done better with a second-half chance. 6
Matheus Cunha: Not at his best on his return to the team. The odd nice touch but seemed a little lost in his role and didn’t really threaten. 6
Joshua Zirkzee: Did well to force Wan-Bissaka into a goalline clearance in the first half and his link-up play was outstanding at times, with one brilliant pass to Mbeumo. 7
Substitutes
Leny Yoro: Unconvincing under one early high ball and clearly lacking a bit of confidence at the moment. 6
Patrick Dorgu: An enterprising run after replacing Dalot and will be pleased with his solid cameo. 6
Manuel Ugarte: Came on to see the game out and failed. 5
Mason Mount: Not much time to make an impression. 6
Lisandro Martinez: Arrived late on. N/A
