Manchester United Player Ratings

Here are Manchester United Player Ratings:

Goalkeeper

Altay Bayindir- 5/10

Altay Bayindir couldn't do anything but watch as less awareness and decision-making from his team led to the first goal of the match.

Defenders

Leny Yoro- 5/10

Leny Yoro was one of the players in the Manchester United squad today who looked fairly unconfident with the ball. Whether it was his defensive duties or going forward with the team, the defender failed to meet expectations today.

Harry Maguire- 5/10

Even though it was a subpar defensive performance at the backline of Manchester United, Harry Maguire will be held accountable the most, given his leadership lacked discipline today, and it was not the first time.

Ayden Heaven- 5.5/10

Ayden Heaven definitely played his part the best in the Manchester United backline today. However, the whole defensive performance of the team was not convincing, and he will also be held responsible for the poor performance.

Midfielders

Amad Diallo- 6/10

Amad Diallo's dynamic play style adds value to United's attacks. Today, it was no different as he seemed lively going forward from the flanks, especially during counterattacks.

Bruno Fernandes- 6.5/10

Last season, it seemed like the presence of Bruno Fernandes in the midfield gave the team and the fans hope that they had a fighting chance. It was seen again in today's match as the Portuguese was the best in the central line today for the Red Devils. It was his cross that gave United the first goal.

Casemiro- 5.5/10

Compared to the games he has had for United, he had a stable start in the game and seemed to play his part well, especially in his defensive duties.

Patrick Dorgu- 5/10

Patrick Dorgu had to adapt to a defensive role today, especially after the first goal from Fiorentina. Along with his midfield peers, he played an instrumental role in holding the ball today.

Forwards

Matheus Cunha- 5.5/10

There is no doubt that Matheus Cunha enjoyed playing at the front line alongside Mount and Mbeumo today. Even though it caught many by surprise when he started the game playing wide along with Mbeumo with Mount in the middle, things clicked well for the front three.

Bryan Mbeumo- 6/10

Bryan Mbeumo definitely was the sharpest player in the frontline of Manchester United. Whether it was his dribbling or set-piece deliveries, every time he had the ball, it seemed like he would either create or convert.

Mason Mount- 5.5/10

Mason Mount failed to capitalize on a few half-chances. The Englishman certainly wanted to equalize in the 19th minute when ex-United keeper David de Gea made an error and gifted him the ball in the box.

Substitutions

Matthijs de Ligt- 4/10

Matthijs de Ligt came into the game in the 73rd minute after Ayden Heaven picked up an injury.

Luke Shaw- 4/10

Luke Shaw came into the game alongside de Ligt today. He took Maguire's place.

Kobbie Mainoo- 4/10

Kobbie Mainoo came into the game in the 73rd minute as Casemiro's replacement.

Diogo Dalot- 4/10

Diogo Dalot came onto the match in the 74th minute to replace Bryan Mbeumo.

Manuel Ugarte- 4/10

Manuel Ugarte came into the match in the 84th minute to replace Mason Mount.

Manager

Ruben Amorim- 5/10

It was still testing the water for Ruben Amorim, who made multiple transitions in the game today. He would be happy to see how well the front three linked with each other today.

Fiorentina Player Ratings

Let us take a look at the Fiorentina Player Ratings:

Goalkeeper

David de Gea- 6/10

It was a homecoming for David de Gea. He was the better goalkeeper between the two for sure. He was delighted after his team scored the first goal.

Defenders

Luca Ranieri- 5/10

Luca Ranieri made a couple of crucial clearances in the first half. Even though he conceded the ball possession multiple times, his defensive contributions ensured the United threat remains at the bay.

Pietro Comuzzo- 6/10

Pietro Comuzzo had a great game at the Fiorentina defense today. Unfortunately, he suffered a heavy blow, due to which he had to leave the pitch in the 35th minute. It was truly unfortunate to lose a reliable player at the back ahead of the season.

Marin Pongracic- 5.5/10

Even though Marin Pongracic won half of his aerial duels, he made some crucial interceptions today. In the first half, he had close to 92% passing accuracy, but the defender lost possession twice.

Midfielders

Robin Gosens- 5/10

Even though Robin Gosens had a lot of contributions in the Fiorentina midfield today, much of it will be forgotten after the unfortunate touch of his that led to an own goal for the Italian side.

Nicolo Fagioli- 6/10

Nicolo Fagioli played a central role today in the Fiorentina midfield. In the first-half, he had a total of 32 touches. Moreover, he maintained a total of 95% passing accuracy. His crosses and long balls were on point, as usual.

Simon Sohm- 7.5/10

Simon Sohm had a solid game at the Fiorentina midfield today. He was one of the important players in Fiorentina midfield in their contest to win the midfield battle. Moreover, he was the one who scored the first goal in the match.

Albert Guomundsson- 6.5/10

Albert Guomundsson had a total of 24 touches in the first half today. He has maintained a total of 94% passing accuracy, in which he assisted the goal of Simon Sohm.

Dodo- 5.5/10

Dodo had a great game in the Fiorentina midfield today. He had a total of 25 touches in the first half, where he maintained 82% passing accuracy. However, the midfielder won almost half of his ground duels.

Forwards

Moise Kean- 5.5/10

In the totality of the first half, Moise Kean only had one attempt, but that too went off target. Even though he saw successful dribble attempts past the defenders, the forward had a better game after the first half, where he had more touches of the ball in promising positions.

Edin Dzeko- 6/10

Much like Moise Kean, Edin Dzeko also had fewer touches of the ball in the first half (14 to be precise). However, he maintained 89% passing accuracy in the first half and looked sharp with the ball.

Eddy Kouadio- 4/10

Eddy Kouadio came into the match in the 35th minute to replace Comuzzo, who was forced out due to an injury.

Cher Ndour- 4/10
