MAN UTD (4-2-3-1)

Onana – Nottingham Forest had two shots on target and scored two goals however their was little that the Cameroon international could’ve done for either. 6

Wan-Bissaka – Offered little going forward and struggled defensively at times and, arguably, could have picked up a better position for the second goal. 5

Varane – Seemed the most composed of the United back-line but was caught out by Elanga at times, once conceding a cynical foul. 6.5

Evans – A solid performance from the veteran however he was let down by his midfield. 6

Dalot – A decent showing from the full-back who Forest’s enjoyment down the left-hand 6

Aaron Wan-Bissaka struggled both offensively and defensively during the league clash

Mainoo – A quiet showing from the youngster in the first-half before being replaced by Scott McTominay at half-time in a tactical switch by ten Hag. 5

Eriksen – Struggled with the midfield battle at times and failed to create enough going forward for the Red Devils. 5.5

Antony – A miserable night for the former Ajax star. Barely made an impact in the game before being replaced by Amad Diallo early in the second-half. 4.5

Fernandes – A passionate performance but, ultimately, didn’t do enough to unlock the Forest defence. 6.5

Garnacho – United’s best player on the night. Never stopped running and it paid dividends for the equaliser. 7

Rashford – Produced a composed finish to put get United back in the game but was quiet aside from the goal. 6.5

Antony had a night to forget before getting hauled off just after half-time
