Man Utd Player Ratings: Leicester City - A Tale of Two Halves

Man United put in a performance that was, let's be honest, all over the place against Leicester City. It was a game of two halves, with the first half being a bit of a snoozefest, and the second half a real rollercoaster of emotions. Let's dive into the individual player ratings and see who stood out (or didn't):

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good:

• Bruno Fernandes (8/10): The Portuguese maestro was, as always, the driving force behind United's attack. He pulled the strings, created chances, and even got himself on the scoresheet. He was the one bright spark in a fairly dull first half.
• Marcus Rashford (7/10): He was a constant threat down the left flank and finished off a beautiful team move for the first goal. It's great to see him back to his best after a rough patch.
• Raphael Varane (7/10): The French defender was a rock at the back, making crucial tackles and interceptions. He was particularly impressive in the second half when Leicester started to really press.

The Bad:

• Anthony Martial (5/10): He struggled to make an impact on the game. He was a bit isolated up top and didn't offer much in terms of creativity or goal threat.
• Aaron Wan-Bissaka (5/10): He wasn't his usual solid self defensively and didn't offer much going forward. He seemed a bit lost at times.

The Ugly:

• David de Gea (4/10): I'm not sure what happened to De Gea in the second half. He looked completely out of sorts, making some uncharacteristic errors. The second goal was particularly bad - it was like he had never seen a football before!

The Final Word

It was a sloppy performance overall from United. They lacked intensity in the first half and made some sloppy mistakes in the second. But credit to Leicester, they really turned up the heat and deserved to win. Hopefully, this was just a blip on the radar and United can get back to their winning ways soon.

Let's hope they can tighten things up and show some consistency. Until then, let's just hope they don't give away any more silly goals!
