Diallo Shines as Man Utd Cruise Past PAOK: Player Ratings
Man Utd got back to winning ways with a convincing 3-0 victory over PAOK in the Europa League. The Red Devils looked sharp and dominant, and Amad Diallo was the standout performer, putting in a dazzling display.
Here's how the Man Utd players fared:
Amad Diallo (9/10): Wow, what a performance! Diallo was simply unplayable, running at the PAOK defense with pace and skill. His goal was a thing of beauty, a powerful strike that left the goalkeeper helpless. He was a constant threat throughout the game and definitely deserves all the praise.
Bruno Fernandes (8/10): Back to his best! Bruno was pulling the strings in midfield, creating chances for his teammates and dictating the tempo of the game. He was involved in all three goals and deservedly won the Man of the Match award.
Anthony Martial (7/10): A solid performance from Martial, who looked sharp and confident. He linked up well with Fernandes and Diallo and was a constant menace to the PAOK defense. He also showed some great footwork and created a couple of good chances.
Scott McTominay (7/10): Another solid showing from McTominay, who controlled the midfield with his usual energy and aggression. He tackled well, won possession back for his team, and was a real presence in the middle of the park.
Luke Shaw (7/10): Shaw continued his fine form, providing a constant threat down the left flank. He was a menace to the PAOK defense, whipping in some dangerous crosses and putting in a solid defensive performance.
Alex Telles (6/10): Not as impactful as Shaw, but Telles still contributed with some decent runs and crosses. He also provided solid cover at left-back.
Harry Maguire (6/10): A solid performance from Maguire, who looked commanding in defense. He dealt with the PAOK attack well and kept things organized.
Victor Lindelof (6/10): A quiet but competent performance from Lindelof. He dealt with the PAOK forwards well, and there were no real scares in the Man Utd defense.
Fred (6/10): Worked hard in midfield, but didn't have the same impact as McTominay. Still, he did his job well and helped Man Utd control the game.
Mason Greenwood (5/10): Greenwood was quiet for most of the game, but he did manage to set up Martial for a good chance. He needs to find his shooting boots again.
Substitutes:
Donny van de Beek (6/10): Brought on to replace McTominay and had a decent impact, but it was too late to really make a difference.
Marcus Rashford (N/A): Came on late and didn't have enough time to make an impression.
Overall:
A great performance from Man Utd, who looked confident and dominant throughout. Diallo stole the show with his dazzling performance, and Bruno Fernandes was back to his best, pulling the strings in midfield. This win will give the team a much-needed boost ahead of some crucial Premier League fixtures.
