Man Utd squandered a two-goal lead as they drew 3-3 with Porto in the Europa League.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring in the Europa League clash, cutting inside and firing his shot under the dive of Diogo Costa, who should have saved it.
Rasmus Hojlund made it two midway through the first half as Costa again failed to show enough strength, allowing the ball to slip beyond him.
However, Porto got back into the match as Pepe tucked home a rebound from close range to reduce the deficit.
Before half-time, the hosts leveled the score with an excellent header from Samu Omorodion, who then added his second just five minutes into the second half.
Yet substitute Harry Maguire had the final word, heading in from a corner to salvage a point for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Here’s how SunSport’s Dylan Terry rated the performances of the Man Utd players.
Andre Onana – 6/10
Reacted brilliantly the first time he was called into action with a flying save, only for Porto to score from the rebound. They then scored with their next shot on target, too – Omorodion’s header – and Onana could do little about the excellent finish for Porto’s third. Made two great stops to keep Man Utd in the game.
Noussair Mazraoui – 4
Looked fairly stable in the first 45 minutes but waned as the game progressed. All at sea at the start of the second half as Porto sliced through the right-hand side of Man Utd’s defense with ease.
Matthijs de Ligt – 4
Appeared imposing in the air as he dealt with Porto’s crosses from both sides, but then failed to get in front of Omorodion for the hosts’ second goal. Like most of the Man Utd side, his performance dropped as the game went on, and he was bullied by Porto’s No. 9. Taken off with 10 minutes remaining.
Lisandro Martinez – 4
Should have reacted quicker for the first Porto goal as Pepe got ahead of him to nod into an empty net, with Martinez static on the six-yard box. There clearly isn’t much of a partnership with De Ligt as Porto pulled them apart all evening. Hooked along with De Ligt late on.
Diogo Dalot – 4
Porto enjoyed a lot of success down Man Utd’s left-hand side, and Dalot looked all at sea on several occasions. Had little help from Martinez but still looked exposed.
Casemiro – 3
Anonymous yet again in Man Utd’s midfield – the ball just passes him by. It’s not a shock now to see the five-time Champions League winner in this state, but Ten Hag continues to field him and embarrass him further. Couldn’t even manage one of his customary fouls.
Christian Eriksen – 5
Looked sluggish out of possession but made an impressive run before laying it off to Hojlund for Man Utd’s second goal. However, he failed to make a significant impact afterward, and his deliveries from wide areas left much to be desired.
Bruno Fernandes – 4
A damning indictment of Man Utd’s current predicament, Fernandes received a red card for the second consecutive game. He picked up two yellow cards, leading to an early exit for the Portuguese playmaker, who had worked tirelessly before his dismissal.
Amad Diallo – 5
Very quiet aside from one burst through the middle while Rashford received most of the ball on the other side. He was replaced by Antony, who arguably created even less.
Rasmus Hojlund – 7
Made a strong case for starting ahead of Joshua Zirkzee with a goal, firing beyond Costa at the near post. Held up the play well and showcased his strength and pace to run at Porto before the break, showing little rustiness in his first start of the season.
Marcus Rashford – 8
Rashford displayed his directness for the opening goal, driving at the Porto backline and forcing an error from Costa. He was a constant threat in the first half and assisted Hojlund’s strike. Surprisingly, he was hooked at halftime, a decision that will need an explanation from Ten Hag.
Harry Maguire (for Martinez, 79 mins) – 8
Ten Hag raised eyebrows by substituting on two center-backs, but Maguire made an immediate impact by heading in a stoppage-time equalizer.
Jonny Evans (for De Ligt, 79 mins) – N/A
Performed his role effectively when he came on, but it was his fellow substitute who stole the spotlight.
Unused subs: Bayindir, Heaton, Lindelof, Collyer, Gore, Ugarte.
