Man Utd player ratings: Bruno Fernandes fires Red Devils to win with help from Patrick Dorgu but Casemiro too stiff
BRUNO FERNANDES stole the show in Manchester United's pre-season win over West Ham. The 6 Bruno Fernandes scored twice in United's win over West Ham Credit: Getty Manager The Dane showed real attacking promise on the left flank as he caused mayhem for the likes of But it was not plain sailing as SunSport's Martin Lipton has provided his ratings of the players... READ MORE ON FOOTBALL Altay Bayindir 6 Surely running out of time at Old Trafford, even if United do not sign a new No. 1. He doesn't really inspire confidence, although it did nothing wrong. Leny Yoro 5 Slightly caught out a couple of times but able to recover positionally. Silly booking and should have scored with his first-half header. Fans love him but still plenty to learn. Most read in Football SUN VEGAS WELCOME OFFER: GET £50 BONUS WHEN YOU JOIN Matthijs de Ligt 7 Appeared happier looking after Man Utd stars baffled after being ordered to wear new high-tech JACKET in sizzling 42C heat on pre-season tour of US Ayden Heaven 6 The teenager has promised to get forward and be a box threat, and he made good on that vow to earn the early spot kick. Clearly a prospect but may not get the game-time he wants this term and found Bowen a tricky customer even before the goal. Amad Diallo 6 Not sure Diallo is a natural right wing-back. And there was little to change that view in New Jersey although he was never really exposed defensively by a poor Hammers side. Manuel Ugarte 7 Some smart interceptions by the Spaniard, who has still to really convince in a United shirt. Was able to influence this one, though. Maybe a sign of better things but Amorim will look differently at West Ham's goal. 6 Manuel Ugarte was a big influence in the midfield Credit: Getty Kobbie Mainoo 6 Amorim wants him to play with more pace and intensity. All about knowing when to make the right pass. At times he looks a real player, other times a little lost, as shown for the Bowen goal. Patrick Dorgu 8 Danish defender showed a real desire to get up the left flank, causing Todibo and Co constant problems. Almost earned his side a second penalty in the opening quarter and kept on coming for more. 6 Patrick Dorgu was a regular threat on the wing Credit: EPA Bruno Fernandes 8 Never any doubt about the spot-kick as he gave Areola the eyes before also finding the bottom corner in the second half. Enjoyed himself. United fans will be even more grateful the skipper turned down that £100m Saudi move. Matheus Cunha 7 Brazilian looked to link up with Bruno although not always on the same wavelength. Dropped into spaces cleverly. Will have tougher defences to break down than these Hammers but an encouraging start. 6 Matheus Cunha almost scored from range in the first half Credit: Getty Rasmus Hojlund 7 So unlucky not to get off the mark in the first minute as he left Kilman for dust before slamming against the outside of the post. But does he really make enough correct decisions to be United's line leader? Jury remains out. Subs (all at 67 minutes): Diogo Dalot 6 Slotted in on the right, just as you would expect Tyler Fredricson 6 Will have relished the chance to play alongside some really experienced players, especially Maguire and Diego Leon 6 The teenager will learn from training with Dorgu and Shaw, but United think he has real promise. Harry Maguire 6 Took over de Ligt's defensive role and was exactly what it says on the tin. 6 Harry Maguire earned some more minutes Credit: Getty Luke Shaw 6 Playing on the left of a three means less running. That might be good news for the Casemiro 5 Maybe not as mobile as Ugarte but he makes up for it with nous and experience. Not that he's that fussed about a pre-season game in New Jersey. 6 Casemiro lacked mobility when he came on Credit: Getty Tom Collyer 5 Likely to struggle for game-time at United this season but put in a stint. Jack Fletcher 5 Big chance to make an impression but hard in a game like this. Mason Mount 6 This could be a make-or-break year at United for the England midfielder. He knows it too. 6 Chido Obi 5 Young striker can offer pace and mobility. But can he really hurt Prem defenders? Not clear.
