Man Utd player ratings: Bruno losing form at worst time ahead of Euro semi as Hojlund looks lost but Garnacho a threat
MANCHESTER UNITED managed to secure a 1-1 draw against 10-man Bournemouth in the sixth minute of injury time. Advertisement 2 Manchester United avoided a 16th defeat of the season 2 But this wasn't a good performance Antoine Semenyo fired the home side into the lead with a thunderbolt opener after a calamity of mistakes while playing out from the back. Yet United somewhat responded well, mainly through Alejandro Garnacho's flurry of chances. Bournemouth had their intensity back, after losing it over the last few weeks, but United, as always, had none. For a moment, the home side had fresh hearts after Evanlison's straight red, but United's persistence paid off when Advertisement READ MORE ON MAN UTD But United have now failed to beat Bournemouth in their last four clashes, with the Cherries scoring EIGHT goals across their three wins. As ever, the away end sang Here's how SunSport's Katherine Walsh rated the Red Devils from the Vitality Stadium. Andre Onana - 5 It's not necessarily Onana's fault, but Amorim shouldn't rely on this 'distribution' narrative surrounding the Cameroon international. United conceded the opener from being lackadaisical while playing out of the back against a cherry-picked high press. And Onana's weight of pass is often a long way off. It lacked power into There's a clear lack of relationship between the goalkeeper and his back line. He reacted SO late when Harry Maguire - 6 Did well at times in his battle with Semenyo in both boxes, with VAR checking two separate penalty incidents in United's favour. But Semeyo clearly came out on top, lashing in a stunning opener for his ninth goal of the season. Given the final quarter of the game off to prepare for Athletic Club semi-final on Thursday. Luke Shaw - 6 Shaw finally started his first Man Utd game in 434 days, when he came off against Luton Town, who are now fighting to stay in the Championship! He's not up to scratch fitness wise and he clearly hasn't played this Bournemouth side, who are one of the best pressing teams in the Premier League. Shaw - who started on the left hand side of the back three - sent an ill-advised pass to Dorgu, which invited pressure in the build up to Semenyo's goal. Yet United desperately need the England star back up to the mark. And he got better as the game went on. His distribution and crosses into the box offered what others in his position cannot. Booked for stopping a counter-attack. Leny Yoro - 6 Some cheeky old fashioned defending at times, grabbing Bournemouth shirts several times in the first 15 minutes. Stayed back for Bournemouth's lightning breaks and cleaned up. But was beaten by Adam Scott too many times down the line. But the teenager has stepped up his attacking game on corners, with a couple headers saved by Kepa. Blocked off Evanlison for a few. But was left frustrated with the ref who took an age to give it as a foul. Patrick Dorgu - 4 Spent too long dallying on the ball before being robbed by Adam Smith, whose cross into Evanilson was met with the daintiest of backheel flicks back to Semenyo. More lively than Mazraoui down the wing and almost caught Kepa out with several threatening crosses - but his team-mate is stronger defensively. Was extremely unluckly to be booked after winning the ball from Smith, which won Bournemouth a dangerous free-kick early in the second half. Casemiro - 5 Casemiro looked back to half his best of late after But he cheaply and naively the ball away at the edge of the box to Ouattara, whose blocked shot gave the home side a dangerous corner. Semenyo and Alex Scott flicked and tricked through the 32-year-old early on. And Amorim looked incensed whenever he lost the ball to a determined Justin Kluivert. Kobbie Mainoo - 5 The midfielder threatened to mimic the soon-to-be famous goal against It's clear Amorim has asked him to drop in when United lose possession, but Casemiro is often too alone in front of the back three. Noussair Mazraoui - 6 Did well in his battle with Ouattara throughout and sent a brilliant ball over the top for Garnacho's chance. There's nothing extraordinary about Mazraoui, but he's a solid and reliable squad player that can be trusted - more than most. Evanlison was sent off for a serious foul play slide challenge on the Egyptian in the 69th minute. Alejandro Garnacho - 6 The Argentine came to life with his first touch of the game with manipulative feet to send a shot just past Kepa's goal in the 16th minute. Garnacho won United's first foul when Tyler Adams slid in, which was cleared and checked by VAR - seconds later Bournemouth scored. He got in-between Bournemouth's centre-backs to get on the end of a delicious ball which was chipping Kepa, who brilliantly saved. Left-footed effort couple of widths wide of the post on the brink of half-time. Quick feet to win fouls, free kicks, not that United can score from any. No matter how bright the winger looks, he just can't match it with an end product. It's still two goals in 21 games this season. Bruno Fernandes - 4 Got to feel sorry for Bruno at times. The captain like a broken man. Full of disappointment in those around him. The only critique is that he perhaps asks for too much from his team-mates, who can't match his thinking with movement in front of him. United always look to him for answers. Today he didn't have any. Although he was inches away from an equaliser in added time, it was too late. And just like he did in the defeat to Wolves last week, the midfielder uncharacteristically scuffed a shot 10 yards from goal, before the flag went up. The Red Devils can't afford for Bruno to drop his form before the Europa League semi-finals against Athletic Club. They need him. Rasmus Hojlund - 3 It is tempting to give Hojlund a lower score and really lambast him for yet another forgettable performance. But you've got to feel sorry for him. Didn't realise he was on the pitch until United started threatening Kepa's goal towards the end of the first half. I don't want to be too harsh, but there's a reason Hojlund has been linked with a swap deal back to the Serie A. He never arrives in the right place in the box, which basically means he lacks ruthless a striker's instinct. It remains just one goal in 18 games. SUBS Manuel Ugarte (for Casemiro '65) Jeered by the home support after sending a shot flying from distance during a promising United attack. Advertisement Most read in Football Exclusive Mason Mount (for Mainoo '65) It opened up brilliantly for Mount, whose shot was blocked for a potential equaliser. Victor Lindelof (for Maguire '66) United are the only team in the Prem to consistently change their centre-backs during games. Bizarre. Chido Obi (for Mazraoui '75) Unlike Hojlund, Obi was in the right place to meet Shaw's cross within seconds of coming on after Bournemouth 's red card. He was more involved in his 20 minute cameo than Hojlund. Advertisement
