PSV Eindhoven v Manchester United – Player ratings

Dutch discourage...

Nooruddean Choudry

Starting XI:

De Gea – 7

Didn’t really make any blunders. Solid enough.

Darmian – 6

Was poor on the night after an encouraging start to his United career.

Smalling – 8

Some positive runs forward and was defending on his own at times.

Blind – 5

Decent start but was poor when asked to fill in at left-back.

Shaw – 8

Was excellent before his suspected leg break. Horrendously cruel.

Schweinsteiger – 8

United’s best midfielder, but seemed to tire towards the end of the game.

Herrera – 7

Did okay, but seemed inhibited with Mata taking up his usual space.

Young – 7

Not quite his exuberant self. Was lively without being a huge threat.

Mata – 6

A big chance to impress in a central position. He didn’t take it.

Memphis – 8

Looked dangerous and scored the opener with a fine effort.

Martial – 8

Impressive full debut. Excellent close-control and a great outlet. Distribution needs a little work.

PSV Eindhoven v Manchester United FC - UEFA Champions League

Subs:

Rojo – 5

Looked understandably rusty, but didn’t do Smalling any favours.

Fellaini – 3

He made United a poorer side. A night to forget.

Valencia – 2

Made Fellaini look good.
