Man Utd player ratings vs Tottenham: Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund having poor finishing as Ruben Amorim’s injury-hit Reds to fall to 15th

After losing 1-0 to Tottenham on Sunday, Manchester United was disappointed by their lackluster defense and lackluster offensive.

As a result, they dropped to 15th place in the Premier League standings, setting themselves up for their worst finish since their 1974 relegation. Even though United did not have any trouble creating chances, James Maddison scored the game’s lone goal in the thirteenth minute.

However, they appeared unable to score them; Rasmus Hojlund once more failed to score, and Alejandro Garnacho was the main offender.

Before the match, Ruben Amorim’s team couldn’t have been in worse form. They were already in shock after learning that Amad Diallo will miss the season due to an ankle injury.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (5/10):

Should have tipped Bergvall’s shot wider rather than at the feet of Maddison. Equal to the other four efforts he faced. A sloppy throw-out almost got United in deeper trouble late on.

Noussair Mazraoui (6/10):

Decent defensively and his cross to Zirkzee deserved better.

Harry Maguire (6/10):

A little slow for the goal but otherwise held the defence together and showed his authority in the air.

Matthijs de Ligt (4/10):

Statuesque for the goal, failing to sense the danger Maddison presented and not reacting quick enough to Onana’s spill.

Midfield
Diogo Dalot (5/10):

Struggled against Son while he should have done better with his two chances down the other end, particularly his follow-up to Vicario saving from Garnacho.

Casemiro (4/10):

Too passive in the build-up to Spurs’ goal while his general lumbering performance underlined why Amorim doesn’t usually trust him.

Bruno Fernandes (5/10):

His high positioning left Casemiro with a lot to do, although he was United’s creative engine and his pass to Garnacho deserved better.

Patrick Dorgu (5/10):

Looked more comfortable on the left than in his debut vs Leicester on the right. Created a good chance for Casemiro with a cross and missed the target with an over-zealous strike.

Attack
Alejandro Garnacho (5/10):

Missed an absolute sitter despite having everything in his favour. He did at least keep going and was United’s main threat, but he has now not scored or providd an assist in the league since November.

Rasmus Hojlund (4/10):

Didn’t attack crosses while having the fewest touches and fewest passes of any player in the first half. Botched decent chances in either half.

Joshua Zirkzee (6/10):

Was tidy on the ball and was involved in United’s brightest spells
