Man Utd player ratings vs Fulham: Bruno Fernandes finds the net to give United the win

The Red Devils were quick to claim victory at Craven Cottage after another disappointing performance from Erik ten Hag’s side.

Bruno Fernandes stepped up during Manchester United after the captain’s last-gasp goal in a 1-0 win over Fulham, which will ease the pressure on the fire manager under Erik ten Hag.
United would have felt upset if they hadn’t won after Scott McTominay’s first goal sparked controversy when Harry Maguire was adjudged to be offside and involved in the play despite failing to make contact with Christian Eriksen’s United goal preparation. From there, the Red Devils created a bit of a record and were responsible for goalkeeper Andre Onana, who made two quick saves to deny Harry Wilson and Joao Palhinha after the hour mark as Marco Silva’s team looking for a way.
However, that was as close as the home side came and it was up to Fernandes to save the moment, as his low shot from the edge of the penalty area went into the bottom corner where Bernd Leno tried in vain to keep it out. football. IT comes out. GOAL awarded to Craven Cottage United players…

Defender

André Onana (7/10):

He wasn’t called on until midway through the second half, but drew strong saves from Wilson and Palhinha. Distribution continues to improve.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (6/10):

He looked half a yard at times in his first start since recovering from injury. However, I did make some important contributions.

Harry Maguire (6/10):

Questions will be asked about whether he will stay out due to a head injury but he provides a solid defensive shift when trying to spark an attack while holding it.

Jonny Evans (6/10):

Fulham didn’t look spectacular, but the striker did well in what was thrown at him.

Diogo Dalot (6/10):

Bounces back from his impressive performance in midweek and combines well with Garnacho on the left. Good clearance prevented Wilson from having a clear goal in the first half.

Midfielder

 

  • Christian Eriksen (3/10):

    A real concern. Constantly gave the ball away in midfield and then didn’t have the pace to get back and stop Fulham counter-attacks. Set-piece delivery just about the only plus point.

    Scott McTominay (7/10):

    Unfortunate to have his early goal ruled out for offside, but didn’t let it affect him. Energetic presence caused problems in attack and worked hard defensively.

    Bruno Fernandes (7/10):

    Not able to have the influence on the game that United needed for much of the afternoon, but popped up with the last-minute winner to send the away fans into raptures.

     

  • Antony (3/10):

    Continues to offer next to nothing. Wasteful when in good attacking positions while he might as well not have bothered when it came to his defensive responsibilities. Surely must be running out of chances.

    Rasmus Hojlund (5/10):

    Received next to no service, and thus his reaction to being substituted can be understood. Tried to hold the ball up when asked to, but needs more help from those around him.

    Alejandro Garnacho (7/10):

    Bright on his return to the ground where he truly announced himself last season and unfortunate his controlled assist for McTominay’s disallowed goal was ruled out. Probably deserves more starting opportunities going forward.

  • Subs & Manager

    Facundo Pellistri (7/10):

    Replaced Antony and produced some nice touches and got a shot in on goal. Determination to win the ball deep in the Fulham half eventually led to United’s winner.

    Mason Mount (5/10):

    First touch was a misplaced through-ball for Garnacho, which just about sums up his United career so far.

    Anthony Martial (6/10):

    Saw an acrobatic volley drop just wide shortly after replacing Hojlund for the final 10 minutes.

    Raphael Varane (N/A):

    On in injury-time to help shore up the defence.

    Erik ten Hag (4/10):

    The win was there for the taking but Ten Hag’s inability to set up a functional midfield and insistence on picking Antony left United short of cutting edge. Got out of jail by his captain Fernandes.
