Manchester United player ratings as De Gea and Casemiro poor vs West Ham

David de Gea

Started both halves by passing the ball to a West Ham player and in between he dropped a clanger against the hitherto harmless Hammers. 1

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Found himself in space a number of times on the right but a reluctant attacker, as always. Booked for fouling Michail Antonio. 5

Victor Lindelof

Survived a handball appeal against him at the end of the first half. Didn't have an easy time against Antonio but not the toughest, either. 5

Luke Shaw

Lost the ball for Benrahma to score but could not have foreseen what De Gea would do, Otherwise, another impressive display at centre half. 6

Tyrell Malacia

Not fazed by the mercurial Jarrod Bowen and got a tough tackle in on Michail Antonio but got booked and daftly handled the ball. 5

Casemiro

Far too quiet for a midfielder blessed with influential skills and looks fatigued. Bossed by two midfielders this week who would enhance United. 4

Christian Eriksen

United had more control with Eriksen back in the team and he had a decent goalscoring chance. Waned in the second half. 5

Antony

Hit the upright via a deflection off Declan Rice but too one-dimensional too often and did not get going after the interval. 6

Bruno Fernandes

Shot wide when he ought to have hit the target. His passing was more panicky with United behind and he could not lift them. 5

Marcus Rashford

Smacked the post with the game goalless and he now has five goals in his last 17 games. Denied by Lukasz Fabianski in the second half. 6

Wout Weghorst

One of his more polished performances on his recall to the starting XI and he actually had a clean shot on target. Made way for Anthony Martial. 6

Subs

Anthony Martial

Provided the best piece of play but denied. 6

Jadon Sancho

No major impact. 5

Marcel Sabitzer

Similar to Sancho. 5

Diogo Dalot

Lost the ball almost immediately. 5

Fred

Did little in cameo. 5

Manager

Weakened United by starting Wout Weghorst and tried to energise them with substitutes but the players' confidence was killed by the goal. Odd that Alejandro Garnacho was unused. 5
