“I could have scored the game-winning goal, but he refused to give me the ball and squandered it, so it is either sell him or I walk away”- Manchester United Bruno Fernandez was upset with a Man United player yesterday for refusing to give the ball to him

Manchester United’s Europa League campaign got off to the same disappointing start as their Premier League campaign—a 1-1 loss with FC Twente.

United got off to a fast start, but Twente sat back and tightened the gap between the lines to cause Erik ten Hag’s team frustration.

But because United was always moving and Twente’s danger was minimal, United continued to appear menacing. After spotting a loose ball in the box, Christian Eriksen scored a powerful goal to give United the lead early in the first half.

The second half saw the same dominating pattern until a string of individual errors let Twente break through the center and score an unexpected equalizer.

Ten Hag tossed the dice with a triple change, but United was held to a disappointing tie for the second time in four days, and there was no happiness to be found.

This is the players’ rating:

Andre Onana – 5
beaten at his near post after Lammers’ deceptive long pass caught him off guard. had nothing else to do.

7-Usessair Mazraoui
Other than a single cross-field throw that was intercepted by the opponent, the player’s performance was flawless, solidifying his place in the starting lineup.

Harry Maguire, age five
stumbled forward through the middle for the equalizer in the second half, leaving him on his backside as a result of a stupid slide tackle in no man’s land. posing a threat to set pieces with attacks

Lisandro Martinez (age 7)
made the most of a frightening occasion in the first half when he found himself in an unexpected offensive position. assured when playing defense and flawless when handling the ball.

Diogo Dalot (6)
nearly responsible for a goal when Twente nipped the ball off of him in the opening moments of their finest opportunity of the match due to his careless response. evaluated now based on stricter criteria.

Six Manuel Ugarte
appeared occasionally to be a step slow in keeping up with the game’s tempo and a little too eager to attack the ball and press high, which did not always work out. Spending valuable time with new coworkers is advantageous.

Erik the Christian – 7
scored three goals in four games, starting with a powerful shot to give United the lead. gave up the ball for Twente’s equalizer by idly lingering and failing to see his surroundings.

Four Bruno Fernandes
Because he lost the ball so frequently in the Crystal Palace game, it was hardly his best performance. When his passes go through, they are daring, but when they don’t, it gets irritating. For the past two games, it has been the latter. summed up by him scoring United’s final opportunity of the match with a direct free kick at the goalie.

Amad: 7
His ability to move both feet is a great addition to the attack, and he has always wanted to play forward. Every time he touches the ball, United seems threatening. came off for Garnacho but Ten Hag continued to go forward.

Marcus Rashford, position eight
Is Rashford at last playing at his peak again? Although he did not score this time, his overall performance seemed to be much higher. This was best demonstrated by an incredible elastico in the first half, when he might have passed the ball backwards four games prior. Despite appearing the most menacing, was strangely removed.

Zirkzee Joshua – 6.5
Although he is a hesitant striker who will never score many goals, his ability to join plays improves United’s performance. More of the same was this. Maybe a Hojlund-Zirkzee collaboration is in the horizon.

Alternatives

Alejandro Garnacho: Seven Points Hag gave him the order to “defend, protect, defend,” but as soon as Twente equalized, he had to quickly go into offensive mode. seemed really menacing and gave off the impression that he would take action.

Rasmus Hojlund (6)
A few balls sped into and pinged off of him, giving off a rusty appearance. Needs more playing time to regain his composure because he does not seem to be thinking like his teammates.

Mainoo Kobbie – 6
Surprisingly, in his European debut for United, he made several good runs forward but was also sacked a few times.

Mason Mount: Six
as usually, intensely pressed, but as usual, the finished result is lacking. Requires time to regain match rhythm following most recent injury comeback.
