Man United started the first five minutes, but later things changed. Man United was lucky to finish the first half 1-0 with the individual mistakes, especially from Lindelof. Moreover, Mourinho tried a new 3-5-2 formation today. However, Man United was able to end the match with a 2-0 win.
Our players ratings are as the following:
Romero: Nothing much to do. Just one good save in the second half. 6/10
Lindelof: Was going to give 2 easy goals for Norwich. Worst player in this game. 1/10
Smalling: Good match, was doing some of Lindelof’s job as well. 6/10
Darmian: Average match. But had some good contributions and passes. 6/10
Blind: Seemed a bit shaky in some passes and was going to cause an own goal. Booked as well. 5/10
McTominay: Good match, taking into consideration he isn’t a senior player. 5/10
Herrera: Was alone in the midfield, can’t do all the job alone as the only senior player and midfield leader. 6/10
Tuanzebe : Was helping in the midfield and in the back defensive line as well. Missed a grate chance to score in the second half though. Booked at the end. 6/10
Martial: Caused some issues for Swansea’s defense. 6/10
Lingard: He was energetic and everywhere on the pitch today, and scored two goal. 8/10
Rashford: what a world class assist! But he needs to rest, seemed in pain in the first half. 7/10
Subs:
Lukaku: Didn’t impress after coming off the bench. Maybe Mourinho didn’t want to attack and just rest some players. N/A
Matic: Brought balance and stability for the midfield. 6/10
Shaw: N/A
Man of the match: Lingard without any doubt. Two goals and an energetic and accurate runs on the pitch.
Jose Mourinho (Manager): I don’t think he can do anything with no players available to rotate. A good win for Man United and Mourinho. 7/10
