Man United player ratings vs Aston Villa with two 8/10s as poor season ends with a win: Amad Diallo shines with a goal as Bayindir error got away

Man United beat Aston Villa and here are how the players rated in their final game of a horrendous season

Manchester United beat Aston Villa 2-0 on Sunday to end their dismal campaign with a win.

Aston Villa were reduced to 10 men when Matty Cash’s poor back-pass on the stroke of half time was picked up by Rasmus Hojlund and the United forward was wiped out by the onrushing Emiliano Martinez.

Villa looked to have taken the lead through Morgan Rogers before the referee decided Altay Bayindir had both hands on the ball when Rogers challenged him in the build-up. United took full advantage of the reprieve when Amad made it 1-0 minutes later.

United were awarded a penalty with five minutes to play and Christian Eriksen stepped up to make it 2-0.

Here are how the players rated at Old Trafford:

Altay Bayindir

Had to run around just to keep warm before he got away with fumbling the ball into Rogers’ path. The referee blew the whistle for a dubious foul before Rogers scored. 5

Victor Lindelof

A charitable start on what must be his farewell appearance. Got caught out a couple of times but Villa were harmless. 6

Harry Maguire

Another good performance from United’s best centre back this season. Created a chance for Diogo Dalot to smack the post. 7

Ayden Heaven

Had some dicey moments but grew in confidence on his first start in more than two months. Warmly embraced by Amorim when he came off. 6

Noussair Mazraoui

Did not last 20 minutes as he went down injured with an apparent hamstring injury hours before United fly to Kuala Lumpur. 6

Casemiro

Entrusted over Manuel Ugarte and had little hassle from Villa’s tepid midfield. Curled a shot that kissed the right upright and blasted a better chance over. 6

Bruno Fernandes

Another quality performance from the United player of the year. Fernandes created chances and went close to scoring himself before he crossed for Amad. 8

Patrick Dorgu

An improvement on his recent form though it is difficult to recall a chance he created all afternoon. 6

Amad

Quieter than he has been of late as chances fell to his teammates before he read Fernandes’ inswinging cross and nodded in. Then won a penalty. 8

Mason Mount

Should have scored one of the two chances he got in the early minutes of the game but aimed the ball straight at Martinez with both. 6

Rasmus Hojlund

Crossed cleanly for Mount to head straight at Martinez before he was barged over by the gaffe-prone ‘keeper. Had a goal ruled out for offside. 6

Subs

Diogo Dalot

Replaced Mazraoui in the first half and hit the post. Was substituted for Kobbie Mainoo at half-time. 5

Kobbie Mainoo

Replaced Dalot and won the ball to find Hojlund for a chance that the Dane could not take. 6

Jonny Evans

Came on for his farewell appearance after five months without playing. 6

Christian Eriksen

Had plenty of the ball on his last game for United. Hit the bar before scoring a farewell penalty. 7

Chido Obi

Came on for the final ten minutes. 6
