Player ratings for Manchester United in their 4-3 loss Chelsea

Tonight's game might have sealed Erik ten Hag's fate at Manchester United.

Manchester United played Chelsea in an attempt to regain their place in the UCL. Chelsea took the lead early in the game and increased their lead after Antony gave away a penalty.

Nevertheless, Manchester United gave a performance that defied belief. The squad overcame a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead, only to lose it back in the game’s final minutes.

It is Erik ten Hag’s mission to perplex the supporters. He routinely uses performances like this one to make up for bad ones from earlier in the week. Even though they were defeated tonight, United deserved to win. Let’s examine the individual performances of the players in United’s defeat this evening.

Should have done much better with Gallagher's goal. Deserves huge credit for his role in setting up the equaliser.

Andre Onana: 6

was soundly defeated this evening by the Chelsea players. missed Palmer’s penalty entirely and should have positioned himself more well to thwart Gallagher’s goal. likewise read the second penalty completely incorrectly. At last, there was nothing left to prevent the fourth.

His poor positioning was exploited early on and he had a tough night against Cole Palmer. Redeemed himself with a brilliant assist for Fernandes before conceding a ridiculous penalty.

Diogo Dalot: 5

For the majority of the first half, Diogo Dalot was unable to keep Cole Palmer under control. made amends offensively by finding Bruno Fernandes with a lovely pass to tie the score at 2-2.

gave up a penalty in the final seconds, costing his side two points, as his nerves finally got the better of him.

Was exposed by the system with very little protection from his teammates. Another worrying injury blow.

Rafael Varane: 5

seemed a little off during the first part of the fun he was having. was benched for the second half after taking a hit in the last moments of the opening 45 minutes.

Some decent recovery work but little he could do about the two first-half goals. He grew into the game and was resilient throughout.

Harry Maguire: 4

Harry Maguire attempted to play the old man’s game because he was no longer able to match the younger players’ speed. All in all, though, he accomplished very nothing save a couple of clearances.

Wan-Bissaka, Aaron: 8

was without a doubt tonight’s top defender for Manchester United. made vital interceptions to keep Mudryk off the field in the opening half and was constantly tracking back. Fantastic rendition by Wan-Bissaka.

Played some nice passes but was caught in possession a couple of times. He might be in need of a rest at some point.

Mainoo Kobbie: 7

The lone player who didn’t seem to give up when the squad was behind 2-0 was Kobbie Mainoo. Controlled the middle and did what he does best when he has the ball at his feet. Casemiro was far inferior to Mainoo tonight, which speaks volumes about the Brazilian’s downfall.

Casemiro: 5

failed to mark Connor Gallagher in the first several minutes of the match, which allowed Chelsea to score. Being one of the team’s most seasoned players, the Brazilian defender ought to have performed better. was replaced in the seventieth minute.

He struggled to get a grip on midfield proceedings but was a constant threat in attack. Took his goal really well.

Bruno Fernandes: 8

Today, he led from the front and produced a fantastic run into the area to tie the score at 2-2. The captain delivered a terrific and long-overdue performance, with his finishing spot on. How unfortunate that he lost the way he did.

Another hero game for 19-year-old Garnacho.

(8) Alejandro Garnacho

made a fantastic interception to start the comeback in the first half. appeared to be lacking energy in the second half, but he scored his second goal after Antony’s incredible pass.

United's best player on the night. His hard work and determination created the first two goals and superb work to set-up the third. His first phenomenal performance for the club.

Antony: 8

For Erik ten Hag’s team, Antony received the start and shown his talent. He consistently outplayed Cucurella and posed a threat. He contributed to two of the Red Devils’ goals tonight. He made the play-changing pass that allowed Bruno Fernandes to score through Dalot. In the second half, he struck another superb ball to help United win 3-2.

Hojlund Rasmus: 6

Tonight, Rasmus Hojlund had trouble making an effect on the game. Once in the second half, he broke free in a similar move to the one that set up Garnacho’s opening goal. But the Dane was unable to bring one home. gave up after sixty-six minutes.

Evans Jonny: 7

The veteran of Manchester United put up a strong display. remained solid as always and performed admirably in protecting the box for his squad.

Was introduced at an awkward time as United immediately took the lead and had little opportunity of his own.

Marcus Rashford: 3

entered the game in the 66th minute and had no impact whatsoever. It’s hardly a good indication for the struggling star Marcus Rashford to come off the bench.

Willy Kambwala: 5

Returned to the team after an extended absence. appeared at ease on the field and ought to be playing more minutes.
