Manchester United player ratings as Kobbie Mainoo good vs Liverpool

Andre Onana

Made one particularly good save from Dominik Szoboszlai and had to repel other efforts as Liverpool tried and failed to go 2-0 up. 7

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Lost Darwin Nunez for the corner Liverpool scored from and prone to panicky moments. Claimed an unlikely assist for Kobbie Mainoo but brainlessly conceded a penalty. 5

Willy Kambwala

Only his second United start and drew applause from Erik ten Hag for a recovery tackle at 1-0 that proved crucial as United equalised. 7

Harry Maguire

Held the fort gallantly alongside his fifth different partner of the season in Kambwala and dominated the aerial duels. Defended stoically. 7

Diogo Dalot

Did more defending than attacking in the first half but became more proactive in the second as Liverpool let United take the initiative. 6

Casemiro

Squandered a good headed-chance by trying to pick out a teammate and irked the crowd by kicking the ball out. More prudent on the ball in the second. 5

Kobbie Mainoo

Neutered for an hour until he struck the sweetest shot of his career to put United 2-1 up against Liverpool with his first Old Trafford goal. 7

Alejandro Garnacho

Suffered from changing flanks in his 29th successive start but, as always, kept going and was involved in Mainoo’s goal. 6

Bruno Fernandes

Started the first half badly with a delayed pass for Garnacho and only got worse. Then he clipped in a magnificent equaliser out of nothing. 7

Marcus Rashford

Bar a committed sliding tackle early in the first half, his recall was not vindicated and Rashford was forced off in the 66th minute with an injury. 4

Rasmus Hojlund

A mismatch against Virgil van Dijk for the second month running, though any striker would have suffered in the absence of any cogent approach in the first half. 5

Subs

Antony

Unfortunate not to start and came on shortly before United scored. 6

Sofyan Amrabat

Came on to protect the lead but had to change his mindset after Salah equalised. 5

Mason Mount

Offered some energy and booked. 5

Manager

Recalled Rashford purportedly as Antony could not start again due to the workload. Bailed out by Liverpool’s profligacy and two sensational goals. 5
