Man United player ratings vs Southampton: Amad earns 9/10 but ‘untouchable’ ace gets 3/10 in 3-1 victory – view | OneFootball

Manchester United had to fight hard to secure three points against Southampton in the Premier League on Thursday.

The Red Devils shockingly conceded just before half time.

The visitors, who had yet to net from a corner all season, broke their scoring drought when Manuel Ugarte scored an own goal.

Alejandro Garnacho and Antony both squandered golden opportunities to put United ahead.

United head coach Ruben Amorim made several attacking changes to inject fresh energy into the team.

Amad Diallo then saved the day with a stunning 12-minute hat-trick, securing a crucial victory.

With this win, United climbed to 12th place in the league standings.

Player Ratings

Andre Onana – 8/10

Making double saves has been a standout feature of Onana’s campaign, and he showcased it once again by denying Mateus Fernandes.

United would have been 3-0 down by the half time without him.

Leny Yoro – 3/10

The ‘untouchable‘ ace endured a nightmare evening as Kamaldeen Sulemana effortlessly breezed past him on multiple occasions.

Matthijs de Ligt – 7/10

De Ligt put in a great block to cover for Yoro’s sloppiness just after the break. He won the ball back through which Diallo scored the equaliser.

Lisandro Martinez – 5/10

Not as solid as he was in the previous two games.

Amad Diallo – 9/10

Diallo couldn’t have picked a better evening to score his first hat-trick.

He single-handedly turned the game around, sparking a beaming smile from Amorim.

Noussair Mazraoui – 5/10

Mazraoui started at left back and struggled to contribute going forward.

Manuel Ugarte – 5/10

The midfielder lacked energy and effectiveness after two intense battles against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Kobbie Mainoo – 4/10

Mainoo had a glorious chance to put United ahead but he chose to pass rather than taking a shot himself.

Amorim made the right call to hook him off at the half time.

Alejandro Garnacho – 6/10

Hojlund gifted Garnacho a perfect chance for a goal in the first half but the winger let him down with a wayward finish.

Garnacho set up what should have been an easy assist but Antony elevated poor finishing to an art form with his shocking miss.

Bruno Fernandes – 5/10

Fernandes pulled off a fine save from Ramsdale in the second half but more creativity is expected against a low- quality opposition.

Rasmus Hojlund – 3/10

Hojlund was ineffective in duels and a non-factor for most of the game, offering little more than a lone good pass to Garnacho in the first half.

Substitutions

Antony – 3/10

The Brazilian international passed the ball to Ramsdale rather than taking a shot at the hour mark.

Joshua Zirkzee – 8/10

Zirkzee delivered live lessons on holding up play and staying involved, leaving Hojlund to watch and learn from the bench.

He played a crucial role for United’s equalising goal.

Toby Collyer – 6/10

The 20-year-old shored up the midfield.

Christian Eriksen – NA

Eriksen played a beautiful pass to set up Diallo’s second goal.

Too late to rate.

Harry Maguire – NA

Too late to rate.
